A Veteran Who Turned His Love for Vallarta into Obi Tours
Obi Tours® is a private tour and transfer company in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, founded and operated by Obed “Obi” Castaneda — a veteran, certified guide, and serial entrepreneur. Under the motto “The Official Obi Tours™,” we combine discipline, Mexican hospitality, and deep regional knowledge to design experiences you won’t find in a mass-market package.
Every tour adapts to the traveler, not a standard itinerary: beach, culture, towns and tequila, adventure, food, and transfers — a deliberate selection of authentic Puerto Vallarta and Jalisco experiences, guided personally by Obi and his team.
More Than a Tour, a Curated Experience
This is how we think about every tour we offer.
Our Philosophy
Obi Tours defines itself as a curated experience rather than a generic tourism service, with an emphasis on local knowledge, safety, and personal care.
Curated Experiences
Our catalog — beach, culture, towns and tequila, adventure, food, and transfers — is a deliberate selection of authentic experiences, not mass-market packages.
You’re Invited!
We invite you to become part of the Obi Tours traveler community: every booking is a personal invitation, not a transaction.
