Mexico · TOURS IN MAZATLÁN
Good tours in Mazatlán fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Ride a Segway through Mazatlán’s Old Town, Plazuela Machado, Olas Altas, the cathedral, and the Malecon. Carlos, Charlie, Gustavo, or Gus provides patient training, local stories, a helmet, and photo help. Groups are capped at nine, with private tours available. Minimum age is 14.
“Carlos and Adrian go out of their way to ensure that everyone is safe and having an enjoyable experience. I highly recommend.”
Explore Mazatlán in an air-conditioned minivan with guides such as Carlos, Jesús, Mel, and Humberto. Visit the cathedral, Golden Zone, Malecón, lighthouse viewpoint, and cliff divers, then shop and choose a beachside Mexican shrimp lunch. Pickup is available from hotels and the cruise port, with groups capped at 15.
“Smiley kept the trip moving and interesting. Gave plenty of time to enjoy the sights. He even extended the trip to get everything in.”
Spend about six hours touring Mazatlan’s old town, watching cliff jumpers, and crossing by catamaran to Stone Island. Guides such as Ricardo, Louis, David, and Mel handle the day, while you get lunch, drinks, and two choices from kayaking, banana boat rides, horseback riding, or boogie boarding. Expect a busy, social outing rather than a quiet resort day.
“Not the fault of the tour, but the water on the beach was so hot and non refreshing. The food was nothing to get excited for. The staff was incrediable and kept us up to speed as to what was going on, especially Poncho and the Captain on the beach. It was relaxing and we did have a good time. The pictures of the party boat, was not how it was.”
Travel from Mazatlan to Los Osuna for a blue-agave and tequila visit, then explore La Noria and nearby villages. Guides such as Jose, Jesus, Carlos, Raul, and Ismael lead the six-hour outing, with local food, crafts, and optional lunch. Expect a small group of up to 15 people, hotel or port pickup, and a few unscheduled stops.
