Various Methods of Transportation

Walking Around Sayulita – The Best Way to Explore

Getting around town is easiest on foot↗️.

Exploring on foot is the best way to reach downtown, beaches, shops, and restaurants.

The cobblestone streets are charming but uneven — comfortable sandals or shoes are a must.

It’s nearly impossible to get lost, and most places are within a 10–15-minute walk.

FYI: Google Maps↗️ works well as you can see showing the location of Amari Boutique Hotel.

Locals and travelers wander beneath papel picado through Sayulita’s artisan market, finding woven bags, hand-painted ceramics, and cultural color.

Cruising by Golf Cart – Fun & Effortless

Golf Cart Ride Through Festive Streets

Cars aren’t needed — golf carts are the fun, effortless way to zip around↗️.

Electric golf carts typically start around 800 MXN per day for four passengers; larger six-seaters cost a bit more.

Gas-powered carts cost more but provide extra speed and torque for steeper hills.

Golf carts can’t be driven to neighboring towns since the highway is required to reach them.

Getting Around by Taxi – Quick & Convenient

Cabs wait near the Sayulita Main Plaza, with more found across the bridge as you exit town. Drivers often arrange trips to local markets  or nearby towns.

Certified white taxis are affordable — usually 125–200 MXN, depending on distance.

Taxis don’t use meters, so confirm your fare before boarding and carry pesos for payment.

Colorful papel picado banners flutter over Sayulita’s plaza as vendors chat and guitars play, framing the village’s vibrant Pacific coast culture.

Motorbike Ready for Adventure

Pedal bikes are ideal for short rides and coastal cruising. They handle unpaved roads easily and are simple to park.

For longer distances, e-bikes extend your range to explore secluded beaches and surf spots beyond town.

Motorbike rentals suit adventurous travelers, offering a thrilling way to explore rural areas and more distant beaches. (Helmets required by law.)

Car Rentals in Sayulita – Options

As we explained in our blog Where is Sayulita , there are no car rentals available in Sayulita.  if you rent a car for airport transfers or nearby towns, note that parking varies by area.

Some streets offer free parking, while paid lots generally cost 150–250 MXN per day.

Using Uber Around Sayulita – When It Works Best

Uber↗️from Puerto Vallarta to this surf town is generally dependable. However, it’s much more reliable for longer rides, such as trips to nearby towns or the airport.

Horseback Rides are Thrilling

Though not everyday transport, guided horseback tours offer a memorable way to experience the countryside.

Ride along the beach with the ocean breeze in your hair or through lush jungle trails for an unforgettable adventure. It’s an exhilarating adventure — ideal for those Instagram-worthy moments.

Sayulita by Sea – Boats & Water Taxis

To reach nearby islands, hidden beaches, or snorkeling spots, hire a boat or water taxi from the beach. For more ways to get on the water, see our Sport Fishing & Tours  for top options.

From the saddle, riders follow the tideline toward a quiet north-shore hideaway where sunlight and sea air frame Riviera Nayarit’s peaceful beauty.
