Whale watching
Nayarit is one of the few states in Mexico where you can go humpback whale watching.
The season begins in December and ends in March. It is between these months when the whales swim thousands of kilometers to give birth in the tropics and subtropics during the winter. That is why the warm and calm waters of Nayarit are ideal for them.
Visit San Blas, Compostela and Bahía de Banderas to live this experience and delight yourself in the most beautiful landscapes visited by humpback whales.
Awarded as the best aquatic experience in Nayarit by México Desconocido magazine in 2023.
We are ready to host you.

Turtle releasing
Nayarit has different turtle camps, where releases are carried out with the best protocols, and where people and specialists participate alike.
There are 8 species of turtles around the world, 7 of them reach Mexico, with 4 choosing the Nayarit coast to lay their eggs: Olive Ridley, Hawksbill, Black and Leatherback, all protected species.
The turtle release window occurs in the second half of the year, during the rainy season, when the beaches are filled with hundreds of little walking turtles looking for the sea.
Join us in this incredible experience of guiding them and discover how their adventure begins from the moment they break their shell to the day they return to our Nayarit coast.
