Fishing, snorkeling & Surf trips

Boat trips- (Max of 5 people) $300USD
You can choose between a snorkeling boat trip or a fishing trip.
We will head out on a “panga”, the classic boat that all the fisherman use. We usually leave by 8 am to have calm seas and an abundance of fish. It's usually a 20-30 minute boat ride south to Punta Mita or 20 minutes north towards La Penita.

Fish Catch possibilities around our bay: 

  • Mahi-Mahi(Dorado) can get over 80 lbs

  • Pacific Sailfish - they get big (200+ lbs.)

  • Roosterfish can grow to well over 100 lbs

  • Pargo(Big Cubera Snapper)

  • Pacific Sailfish gets big (200+ lbs.)

  • Wahoo - these speedsters can hit your bait doing over 50 mph!

  • Blue and Black Marlin

  • Giant Yellowfin Tuna

  • Broadbill Swordfish

  • Snook/Robalo -  Snook is one of the most prized game fish - Amber Jack.

Surfing trips-$75USD per person (ask for more pricing)
A surf trip by boat to Punta Mita is only 20 minute ride and you will have a choice of many spots depending on tide, wind, and swell. Chrystal clear waters and mostly uncrowned it is worth the experience. Our surf instructors will accompany you on the surf journey on a private beach. Surf trips can be made also to nearby beaches (upon request). Trips include surfboards, a rash guard to protect your skin (also used for SPF) drinks, and snacks, and most importantly great energy and instructors.

SURF SPOTS IN PUNTA MITA

La Lancha- reachable by boat or land is a beautiful white sand beach with a right and left breaking and every day plenty of waves. This is the perfect spot for beginners or intermediate levels.

La Bahia- reachable by boat only, rights and lefts all levels depending on swell.

El Anclotebest reached by land is also called the Mexican Malibu with its long right-handers' breaking. Great for all levels and especially enjoyed on a longboard.

Burros- another beautiful beach about 20 minutes drive and a short walk through the lush jungle, with perfect rights and lefts breaking, best at least at an intermediate level.

El Faro- best reached by boat, most incredible right-hander for intermediate to advanced level. When breaking an unforgettable spot.

Gracias Platano & Pipe
First time surfing with my family. Our daughter had a fun experience with her instructor, he was calm and very helpful. My husband and I had a great time and so much fun with Platano. We had a lovely instructions guide, reminders to just breathe and wait for the wave and lots of laughter and happiness on each eave we caught or when we fell. We felt perfectly taken care of.

Great school!
My girlfriend is a nice surfer, but her style wasn’t too easy to catch on - so we went to El Punto and got scheduled a class with Hugo (aka banana). Trust me when I say that even if for some strange reason you don’t get any wave (he will get you up) you will find the day soo rewarding and nice, you will have a deeper appreciation for the ocean and surfing.

Hugo is the funniest and friendliest human I have ever met. I highly recommend him if you need surf lessons!
