★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 163 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $30Our pick

Meet Diane and Jair at 9:30 am in Sayulita for a 1.5-mile jungle hike with ocean views, local plant and wildlife notes, and a gentle beach yoga class beneath the palms. No yoga experience is needed, but sturdy shoes, water, and moderate fitness will help.

“The hike and yoga experience was wonderful! The hike was beautiful and Diane shared different facts about the terrain and area. We got time to explore the beautiful beach before we started a 50 min. yoga class. Diane offered many options for yoga moves and she went at a great pace - I'm one that doesn't enjoy the slowness of yoga, so it was great for us! We hiked back a different way and got to meet great people on the trip. All in all it took about 2.5 hours. Would highly recommend!!”

“The tour is a beautiful hike up Monkey Mountain to a peak with amazing views. Jaír was the guide and he was so knowledgeable and explained interesting facts all along the way. I am trying to learn Spanish and Jaír graciously let me practice speaking Spanish which I’m sure required a lot of patience on his part. I also learned a lot of interesting things about native plants and animals. The actual hike is just beautiful. I highly recommend this experience.”
