From the Puerto Vallarta airport there is a direct bus route to La Cruz. The bus will be marked 'La Cruz' or 'Punta de Mita'. It takes only 45 minutes. Get off the bus at the Primary School, and crossing the road toward the bay, walk down the right hand side of the school. It is only one and a half blocks to the Octopus Garden. If one is driving, the main highway on the west coast is Highway 200. Only 2 kilometers off the highway at the turn for Punta de Mita is the village of la Cruz. There is only one traffic light in town. Turn towards the ocean there, take the first left turn and drive 4 blocks, Octopus Garden is on the right hand side.
