I’ve lived in Sayulita for 10 years now, and every high season my house fills up with visiting friends and family. They always ask the same thing: “What should we do?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure, there’s the beach, the surf and the tacos. You’ll do all of that. But these are the experiences I actually book when people come to visit, the ones that show off a side of Sayulita most visitors miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1. Explore Sayulita on Horseback <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is so much more than a trail ride. It’s an experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picture riding up to a coffee shop and ordering your latte without ever leaving the saddle. Or following a little hidden jungle trail to a beach you can only reach that way, just in time for sunset. Maybe a margarita is involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the horses are wonderful: happy, healthy and so well cared for. That makes all the difference, especially if you\u2019re riding with kids or it\u2019s your first time in the saddle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rides are family-friendly and open to all ages and experience levels, and there are lessons for kids and adults too. My own daughter takes lessons, and she counts down the days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Cook and Mix at the Cachasol Culinary Workshop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just outside town on the Punta Mita highway, Cachasol Farm Distillery hosts a hands-on, 90-minute culinary workshop surrounded by agave fields and gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll pick fresh herbs from the garden, mix two cocktails with Cachasol’s own tequila, make guacamole in a molcajete and try your hand at cooking tortillas on the comal. Then you sit down to eat what you made. Adults also get a taste of raicilla made right on the farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kids 6 and up can join in with mocktails, so it works great for families. It runs every day in the afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Taste Tequila and Mezcal with Taste of Sayulita<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This team is SO fun, and they know their tequila and mezcal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taste of Sayulita brings a private agave tasting right to your vacation rental, hotel or villa. You’ll try tequila, mezcal or raicilla from small, family-owned producers, served the traditional way in a j\u00edcara, with food from the region each spirit comes from. You’ll laugh a lot and leave knowing way more than you expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s perfect for a group night in, a birthday or any celebration. They also offer private bartending if you’re throwing a party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Have the “ATHEA Experience”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ATHEA makes the best frozen yogurt I’ve ever had. It’s 100% Greek yogurt with no added sugar and no preservatives, and it’s packed with protein, so it’s the perfect afternoon snack after the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My must-order is the Greek Experience<\/strong>: frozen yogurt with Greek olive oil and salt. I know it sounds crazy. Just trust me. I also love the Creamy Pistachio with Baklava<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll find ATHEA on Calle Jos\u00e9 Mariscal in the center of town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Switch Up Your Yoga with Private Pilates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sayulita is a yoga town, and there are some really wonderful studios here. But why not change it up?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooke of Bodies By Brooke is a certified personal trainer and Mat Pilates instructor who has lived in Sayulita since 2011. Best part: she comes to you. She’ll set up at your villa or vacation rental and lead your whole group through a fun, challenging class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a great workout and a super fun group activity, especially for girls’ trips, bachelorettes and family get-togethers. Your whole group will love her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Traveling with Little Ones?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have a 5-year-old daughter, so I get it. Sometimes you need a little adult time, even on vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I were visiting, Ola Nana is who I’d trust with my kid. They offer bilingual babysitting that comes right to your vacation rental, whether it’s for a date night, a day trip or an evening out with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High season is one of my favorite times of year in Sayulita. The weather cools down, the town comes alive and there’s something fun happening every night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you try any of these, I’d love to hear what you think. See you around town!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
