head for the bus stop in front of Wal-Mart - if you take the Green and White buses marked PV - Bucerias - Sayulita it will take you about an hour and fifteen minutes to get there for $20 pesos... Same price coming back... If you grab the bus that says PV - Bucerias - Punta Minta - Sayulita you will add an extra hour to your bus ride....

not sure what the taxis costs are... but the bus is a fun trip

have fun
My family took a cab. From the marina, it cost us 500 pesos--- took two cabs due to large number of people.

On the way back, We got a taxi, but it was a van. That cost us 900 pesos. We also threw in a tip due to the lost fares for the drive. I believe the drive was about 45-1 hour for the cab.
WOW - $140 USD versus $4 USD... i would spend the extra time ejoying the country side and take the bus... just my thoughts... WOW....
I think the math is a little off there 500 pesos does not equal 140 USD :oops:
Tom was figuring round trip which is $140 USD as opposed to $4.00 RT. That is a big difference!!
but still
if you really put a pencil to it, at $500 pesos per taxi, and then another 900 pesos for the van back, that 1900 pesos, or approx $200 USD, even at $25/pp, that is quite a bit of cash for an expedition to Sayulita, plus you still have food, drinks, etc on top of that... personally i still would take the bus for $4 USD and use my $20 USD for cervesa from the local tiendas, or pastries from the beach vendors, or tamales from the beach vendors... but each to their own....

lots of suggestions
Why post I think I will give up the others seem to know it

I must have been the guy he was talking about on page 2, two many burritos and pacificos :lol:
depending on your style of trip to sayulita, and your starting point in pv, i would think about renting a car. there are lots of cool places to explore on the way, and the bus trip home is long after the day of adventure.
Daytrip w/drinking involved -take bus as mentioned by tom and lorrie
any other trip besides somebody driving you that cant get a dui- you can make your own mind up- have fun ,and try the burritos at a place that has a sign that says burritos to go-good stuff
Tom I am training for next year,burritos every other day and tequillla every day ,screw the pacificos ,its sauza time
