Family enjoying a Polaris RZR adventure through the Sierra Madre mountains with Dirty Monkey Adventure in Puerto Vallarta.

If you're visiting Puerto Vallarta with children, you're probably looking for an adventure that's exciting for adults while still being safe and enjoyable for the entire family.

At Dirty Monkey Adventure, we've designed our ATV and Polaris RZR tours so families can experience the beauty of the Sierra Madre together through small groups, personalized service, breathtaking scenery, and unforgettable memories.

Can Children Join an ATV Tour?

Yes.

Children are welcome on our tours, but the minimum age depends on the vehicle you choose.

  • Polaris RZR: Minimum age 4 years old
  • ATV: Minimum age 6 years old (as a passenger)

Every child must be accompanied by a responsible adult throughout the experience.

What's the Best Vehicle for Families?

For most families, we recommend choosing a Polaris RZR.

Unlike a traditional ATV, a Polaris RZR offers:

  • Side-by-side seating
  • Safety doors
  • Three-point seat belts
  • Roll cage designed to protect occupants in the unlikely event of a rollover
  • Greater comfort for children and parents
  • More stability on mountain trails

For families traveling with young children, the RZR provides the most comfortable and secure way to enjoy the adventure together.

Are the Tours Safe for Kids?

Safety has always been one of our top priorities.

Every Polaris RZR is equipped with:

  • Seat belts for every passenger
  • Protective safety cage
  • Secure side doors
  • Professional safety briefing before departure

Although children are not required to wear a helmet inside the RZR, we are happy to provide one if parents prefer the additional protection.

Our experienced bilingual guides carefully monitor the group throughout the entire tour to ensure everyone enjoys a safe and comfortable experience.

Which Route Is Best for Families?

Every family is different, so the ideal tour depends on your children's ages and interests.

  • Shorter duration
  • Easier pace
  • Handmade tortilla experience
  • Tequila tasting for adults
  • Natural waterfall and swimming stop

Hot Springs Route (4 Hours)

Can We Swim During the Tour?

Absolutely.

Every Dirty Monkey Adventure tour includes time to enjoy natural water.

Depending on the route, you'll visit waterfalls, rivers, beaches or crystal-clear mountain pools where families can cool off and enjoy the surrounding nature together.

Don't forget to bring your swimsuit and towel.

What Should We Bring?

Preparing for your adventure is easy.

We recommend bringing:

  • Comfortable clothing
  • Closed-toe shoes
  • Swimsuit
  • Towel
  • Sunscreen
  • Sunglasses

A responsible adult must accompany every child and sign the required participation waiver during check-in.

Why Families Choose Dirty Monkey Adventure

Families often tell us that what makes our tours different isn't just the scenery—it's the way we make them feel.

Our small groups allow guides to provide more personalized attention, creating a comfortable experience for both parents and children.

Instead of rushing from stop to stop, we focus on making every family feel welcome while allowing everyone to enjoy Puerto Vallarta's mountains, waterfalls, wildlife, and local culture at a relaxed pace.

That's why so many families recommend Dirty Monkey Adventure as one of the best outdoor experiences in Puerto Vallarta.
