1. Scuba Diving and Snorkeling
To start with, scuba diving and snorkeling are wonderful activities to enjoy in Banderas Bay. Whether you are a beginner or have experience, the area is ideal for snorkeling or scuba diving because of mild currents. Wondering where to go? Top diving and snorkeling sites are Los Arcos and the Marietas Islands. Book a tour where a boat will take you to the area’s top locations to enjoy colorful corals and vibrant marine life.
2. Golfing
Secondly, if you or someone in your family loves golfing, you will be pleased to know that there are numerous world class golf courses in PV. In fact, there are golf courses in PV that were designed by golf legendes Greg Norman and Jack Nicklaus. In addition, many of the golf courses have beautiful ocean or jungle views. If you aren’t sure which golf course to check out, we recommend the Marina Vallarta Golf Course, El Tigre Golf Course, Vista Vallarta Club de Golf, or the Pacific Golf Course in Punta Mita. Golfing is a very popular outdoor activity in PV, so make sure you reserve your tee time in advance.
3. Paddleboarding
Next, paddleboarding is a fun activity that people of all fitness levels will enjoy. Several of the area’s local beaches have paddleboards for rent for only $10US/hour. To get started, put the paddleboard into the shallow water, then kneel on top of the paddleboard. Next, start paddling away and try to stand up on the paddleboard and steer it past the waves. Paddleboarding can offer a good workout, or it can be relaxing depending on how much effort you put in. When at sea, enjoy the pretty views and keep your eyes peeled for marine life such as dolphins, fish, manta rays, and sea turtles.
4. Sport Fishing
In addition, sport fishing is another favorite outdoor activity in Banderas Bay. The area is a great place to spend a whole day with loved ones. Make sure to wear sunscreen and a hat to prevent sunburn during your sport fishing adventure. One of the most common fish in Banderas Bay is marlin. If you catch a fish, you can also take it to local restaurants where they will gladly cook it for you. It’s impossible to find fresher seafood then something you caught the very same day!
5. Kitesurfing and Sailing
Lastly, two more things to do in PV include kitesurfing and sailing. If you aren’t familiar with the sport, kitesurfing is an adrenaline pumping activity that has become very popular in recent years.
