Sea kayaking

Explore this spectacular coastline from behind the bow of one of Tailwind's sea kayaks. The Tailwind sea kayaking tour is perfect for paddlers looking to experience a breathtaking stretch of undeveloped coastline. Easy launching in the protected bay of Los Ayala makes this tour ideal for paddlers of all levels. The drive to Los Ayala is 20 minutes North of San Pancho. After a quick instruction on kayaking 101 (paddling techniques, safety, etc.), we launch the boats and paddle southward along this fantastic, wild coastline. Together we enjoy lively sea life as we paddle to a prominent point and float around a bit to rest while savoring a spectacular coastline vista. On the return paddle, if swell allows we land at the deserted beach of Los Torros. This beach is a kayaker paradise as it is only accessible by boat. The beauty of this beach is unrivaled. This is the perfect spot for swimming, sunbathing and simply enjoying this picturesque Mexican coastline.

Sign up when you register to surround yourself with bountiful sea life and view the coastline from offshore.  A delightful new perspective and a treat that simply cannot be missed! 

Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP)

Stand up paddle boarding is currently one of the fastest growing sports in the world. The popularity of this amazing sport is certainly no surprise, as it offers something for everyone! In this region of the Mexican Pacific, paddle boarding is great for flat water paddling as well as riding waves. For those wanting a more relaxed experience, flat water paddling is the way to go. Wave riding offers a bit more excitement for those looking for a challenge. Either way, these boards are a ton of fun and easy to balance on. If you’ve not yet tried paddle boarding then we highly recommend you give this a try.

The Stand Up Paddle boarding tour is out of the town of Anclote, on Punta de Mita. Anclote is a perfect spot for both learning to paddle on calm water, as well as learning to ride waves.

Group Hike

Avocado Loop

This hike is Tailwind’s specialty. Several hours (approximately 5 miles) of slow trekking along a spectacular jungle ridge, through mango and avocado groves and then descending to deserted white sand beaches, this is an experience not to be missed. Bountiful flora and fauna are captivating—there are limes to be collected, giant strangler figs to look at, lion aunts to entertain you and tropical birds to listen to and watch. Some may enjoy a quick stop for cleansing mud treatment or a quick dip in the ocean at a secluded beach along the way. This hike is great exercise and a perfect way to orient oneself in this wild place.

Difficulty: Moderate to strenuous Bring: Hiking shoes, water, hat, bug spray 

Advanced reservation necessary for group hikes.  Sign up when you register!
