Canuva Escapes is your go-to team in Sayulita / San Pancho / Punta Mita for private Ocean + Jungle adventures and unforgettable chef-led dining & cooking classes—run by locals who’ve lived here for 25+ years. We’re Will & Sara: Sara grew up surfing these breaks, and Will grew up fishing these waters. We built Canuva so you can experience the Riviera Nayarit the real way—personal, comfortable, and never “touristy.” (If you’re staying elsewhere in the Riviera Nayarit, we’ll build it for you too.)

Willy our guide, was incredibly attentive the entire trip and explained every step along the way—where we were going, what we were doing, and what to look for. You could really feel how much knowledge and passion he has for the ocean.
The whole crew was excellent, and being out on the water with them felt almost magical. From the ocean, you can see everything—the towns along the coast, the mountains, and the jungle where we live. It’s an amazing way to explore the area from a completely different perspective.
They really know what they’re doing: the best fishing spots, the best places to spot whales and how to make the whole experience feel relaxed and unforgettable. One of the highlights for me was eating what we had just caught for the first time. Willy prepared a fresh sashimi/ceviche right on the boat, and it was absolutely delicious—he’s clearly a great chef as well.
If you’re looking for an authentic, beautiful, and memorable ocean experience, I can’t recommend this tour enough.
