Hiking

Hiking in the great outdoors has become very popular in the Riviera Nayarit’s micro-destinations. It’s something the entire family can enjoy together, no matter what their age!

Paddleboarding

SUP is an excellent alternative if you want to try something new and different with your family—it’s a fun test of balance and concentration. Check out Playa El Anclote for paddling while watching a fantastic sunrise or sunset. You can’t go wrong with either one!

 

Snorkeling

Snorkeling is a popular pastime, and there are plenty of beaches around the Riviera Nayarit to take a dip. One of the hottest spots, though, is at the Islas Marietas. It’s a picture perfect paradise for this sport, plus the tour is gorgeous, and the fish are friendly. You can also head over to Isla Coral and visit the underwater statue right offshore or check out the reefs across from Lo de Marcos.

 

Surfing Lessons

This tops the list of “musts” in Sayulita, San Pancho, and Punta de Mita (La Lancha beach). In fact, people flock to the Riviera Nayarit from all over Mexico and the world to surf these waves! There are a ton of surfing schools with user-friendly pros ready to teach you the ropes on the destination’s best breaks, no matter if you’re a newbie or you have it all down.
