Explore the natural beauty of the Bay of Banderas on four wheel terrain bikes.
Deep-Sea Fishing
The nearly 3-kilometer (2 mile) depths and the 40-kilometer (25 miles) circumference of the Bay of Banderas make some of the best deep sea fishing in the world. There are dozens of fishing charters available for marlin, dorado, and sailfish. Spend a day out on the water and explore fishing spots with an experienced captain.
Dolphin Adventure
Come away with a greater understanding and appreciation of marine mammals and the environment we share after visiting a colony of Pacific bottlenose dolphins. There are perhaps no more that half a dozen facilities throughout the world that offer such a once-in-a-lifetime interactive experience with these enchanting and gentle creatures. One can actually have the opportunity to enter the water and swim with the dolphins. www.vallarta-adventures.com
Horseback Tour
Head inland on an escorted horseback tour of the jungle. The tour includes picturesque
rural villages, spectacular scenery and local wildlife.
La Tovara
A favorite bird watching attraction is the jungle trip to the springs of La Tovara via motorized dugout. The boats pass through swampy lagoons and dense mangrove forests inhabited by herons, egrets, turtles, lizards and fish. Some 300 bird species have been identified in this area. The spring itself forms a cool freshwater pool where visitors can enjoy a swim.
Marietas Islands Wildlife Reserve
Off the tip of Punta Mita, the rocky architecture of the islands provides a sanctuary for a complex marine ecosystem, including dolphins, sea turtles and giant rnanta rays. Visitors may choose from kayaking, snorkeling or scuba diving in the crystal clear waters.
Scuba Diving and Snorkeling Trips
Boat trips are available to a number of dive sites, all rich with marine life of the Bay of Banderas. Las Marietas, Las Caletas, El Morro, Los Acros and Corbenta all host a variety of marine life including lobsters, mantas, dolphins, turtles and schooling fish. Dive trips are customized to the wishes and experience levels of the interested divers.

Whale Watching
From December to March, the mighty humpback whales make their annual migration, passing through Banderas Bay. Their playful behavior is an amazing display of grace, power and beauty.
