Monkey Mountain

Dogs are welcome always on the leash, provided they are friendly to the other guests and other potential pets on the tour. We can not allow dogs off leash as this can be a hazard to the ecosystem. Remember to bring poop bags.

There are no waterfalls at Monkey Mountain. It’s also not a nesting area for sea turtles as this is not a beach destination. However, during whale season, the high vantage point of the view offers a possibility of viewing whales spouting in the sea.

No, children must pay the full price to attend the hike.

While many services offer discounts for children when they require fewer resources (like eating less than adults do at a buffet), our nature hikes are a bit different.

At EcoHike Sayulita, we put EXTRA detail and care into ensuring your childrens’ safety and enjoyment. Our team even provides special carrier backpacks for the little ones (just request in advance!), ensuring they are comfortable and secure throughout the hike.

We often tailor the tours and consider our trail selection and pace for the entire group depending on the children who join and their ages.

Our guides will take extra effort to make the hikes safe and engaging for young minds.

We hope you understand that charging kids the same rates as adults is reflected in our desire to create a more enriching experience for your family.

Please consider tipping the guide for this extra attention.

Sneakers or hiking shoes are best. We do not recommend sandals.

Yes! In fact, it’s a great way for solo travelers to meet like-minded individuals and travel friends. Just contact us and we will arrange the booking to align with other travelers who are booked. We are unable to fulfill tours of only one person, so we will need to combine you with a group.

This is a public tour and anyone can sign up. You can bring your whole group to join others on this tour.

Alternatively, you can arrange a private tour with us. A private tour will allow you an exclusive tour with full flexibility to customize the time and pace. This is a great option if you or your kids have special needs and require more time or attention. It can also be a great option if you just want to keep the experience exclusive to your group with no additional attendees.

We’ve even had bookings for a private tour to set up special romantic wedding proposals! Just ask and we’ll plan any custom trip you need!

Closest to our meeting point is Don Bonito hotel, which has a small cafe and bathrooms. There you can use the bathroom (you may need to make a small purchase, such as a cookie or water to use the facilities). You can also purchase bottled water there.

Once we journey away from the meeting point, there will be no bathrooms or water available. Bring plenty of water and of course, when nature calls, you can always find a discreet spot to squat in the jungle! Just ask your guide before doing to be sure you are safe.

Thankfully, most of the year in Sayulita offers perfect weather for tours. Sometimes during the rainy season Aug-Oct we will have rains. In the case the tour needs to be rescheduled we will reach out before the tour begins. In compliance with our terms and conditions a new convenient time will be offered.

We may still venture out if there is light refreshing rain, but we always keep your safety in mind.

We ask that you declare to be in good physical condition. If you have an average fitness level and are active regularly you should be able to keep up. You should have some hiking experience and good shoes.

Kids should have good motivation and be experienced in the wilderness. This is reflected in the parent’s hiking experience. Because we can offer the baby backpack carrier, our youngest hiker of Monkey Mountain was 6 months old! :)

Tips are customary in Mexico. If you enjoyed your tour, please consider showing appreciation by tipping your guide.
