Surfing Tours
Catch the world-class waves of the Nayarit region! With many years of local knowledge, we have a pretty good idea where to find the best surf conditions. If you are a seasoned surfer, you will enjoy the early morning surf trips where our guides map out the best surf and bring you to it by van or boat. Daily surf tours depart every morning at 7:00 a.m. and return between noon and 2:00 p.m. The waves are excellent for both short and longboarding. The average wave size is shoulder to head-high range, occasionally bigger, occasionally smaller, depending on what Mother Nature blesses us with. The water temperature ranges from 72 to 84 degrees depending on the prevailing currents. We have access to a wide variety of surf spots, mostly point breaks, both lefts and rights, from inside the Bay of Bandares north to San Blas.

Deep Sea Fishing
Fishing excursions are great for small game fishing and a perfect opportunity to participate in the local fishing culture. Go out on a panga straight from the sandy beach and cruise the coastline for a Dorado, Rooster fish, Snapper, Sailfish, Sierra and Toro. Fishing trips are not included in our packages pricing. Prices are as follows:

Deep sea fishing: $650.00 for up five people
Local Opanga fishing, $250.00 for up four people

Snorkeling & Whale Watching
Our most popular excursion! The trip begins with a fast paced boat ride out to the Marietas, where, before you even get into the water you are bound to see schools of dolphins, migrating whale pods, large manta rays and tortugas (sea turtles). Then, explore the spectacular marine life of the Bay of Banderas. The Marietas Islands are designated bird sanctuaries where yellow and blue footed boobys can be spotted. After swimming among colorful fish in warm tropical waters, you can swim under a natural stone bridge into the center of one of the islands where a private beach awaits you. This fantastically undisturbed spot is only reachable by swimming, making it a very special experience.

Sea Kayaking
Explore the wild coastline in sea kayaks in search of secluded coves and white sand beaches. Our experienced guides will provide you with thorough instruction however we recommend this trip for rowers at an intermediate level in good physical condition.

Jungle Riverboat Tour
Experience the diverse wildlife of the Tovara Preserve located in San Blas. Transverse exotic mangroves in search of crocodiles, turtles, iguanas and birds. Take a swim in a fresh water swimming hole and enjoy lunch at a delicious local taco stand. This is a full day trip but you won’t be disappointed!

Surfing Lessons
With year-around warm water and sandy bottom beaches, Costa Azul is a great place to learn to surf. Our experienced instructors will give you some light training on the beach, then escort you into the water with a soft-foam longboard. The instructor will stay close to you and soon you will be up and riding!

Horseback Riding
Explore exotic terrain and along trails through the lush jungle to reach breathtaking lookouts. Costa Azul maintains its own well trained horses on site. The horses are perfect for those with little or no riding experience. This trip promises a most memorable experience!

Alta Vista Hike
Hike the ancient trails of the Huichol Indians at the Archelolgical site of Alta Vista or “La Pila del Rey” (The king’s fountain). Located along the Las Piletas Creek, on the rim of the El Copo volcano, Alta Vista is considered the most complex site of its type in the state of Nayarit. Dating back 2000 years, ninety engraved rocks cover this sacred area and in pre-Hispanic times. To this day, local Mestizos as well as Huichol Indians still worship in this area. Don't miss this unforgettable experience of history and local culture.
