Best ATV Tours for Families 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.
