Question

Is there a bus from Puerto Vallarta to Sayulita?

Answer

You can easily take a bus to Sayulita from the airport or any other bus stop in Puerto Vallarta. If you take the bus at the airport, exit the airport and head left around the building. Cross over the highway using the pedestrian bridge. As you leave the pedestrian bridge, there is a bus stop with a bench. The bus line serving Sayulita is COMPOSTELA and their buses are usually white and green. Look for the name "Sayulita" written on the windshield of the bus. Note: Not all COMPOSTELA buses go to Sayulita. Please note this is a city commuter type bus and there are no luggage racks or places to stow your luggage, so the bus option is best for those traveling light, with a small backpack that can be placed on your lap when seated. Please do not place luggage in the seats. More transportation info can be found at: https://www.sayulitalife.com/sayulitatransportation

Question

How much does a taxi generally cost from the airport to Sayulita?

Answer

If you want an airport taxi you have to buy a ticket at the booth. Fares are by Zones. A taxi from Puerto Vallarta airport to Sayulita costs about $1000 pesos; tell them where you are going, and get a receipt. You will keep one copy, and your driver will give one to the clerk as you exit the airport. This is your assurance against being overcharged. Additionally, there are taxis across the street which can be hired by crossing the the pedestrian bridge over the highway. You’ll see the bridge when you come out of the airport at your left. If you hire a taxi off airport property, you may get a better price than an airport taxi +/- $700 pesos.
