The Coast of Nayarit, Mexico

Welcome to South Country Kayak Adventures: Nayarit Adventure

This is an exceptional and unique seven-day kayak adventure destination. You will journey along the beautiful coast of Nayarit, North of Puerto Vallarta, using the unique Hobie kayaks. Imagine sailing your kayak under a light breeze with a backdrop of tropical jungle covered mountains that drop into the warm blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. Look over the sea and view humpback whales breaching in the distance, pods of dolphin playing, turtles sleeping on the surface and beautiful marine birds flying above.

At the end of each the day immerse yourself into the Mexican way of living, as you will visit 4 different fishing towns where only Spanish is spoken. Every night you stay in Mexican hotel in comfort and dine on the local speciality food. The trip will be fully supported with a van, which will follow the trip and will be accessible for anyone needing a rest.

Come and experience this comfortable but active approach to an amazing adventure.

This trip will satisfy all of you senses as we specialized in creating unforgettable memories for you to bring home.

Nayarit’s long, tufted coastline is one of the hidden, untouristed gems of the Mexican Pacific shore. Its beauty—verdant mountain and shoreline forests, orchard-swathed plains, and curving yellow strands of sand—is largely natural. Nevertheless, the amenities of civilization are abundant in the Nayarit Coast’s necklace of petite, hidden beachside resorts—Chacala, Rincón de Guayabitos, Lo de Marcos,  Playa San Francisco  and Sayulita—that offer an exceptional mix of south-seas delights. All of these—beach sunning and strolling, fishing, bird-, dolphin-, and whale-watching, wilderness camping, adventure sports opportunities, and comfortable hotels and good restaurant to boot—await those willing to follow the road an hour or two north of Puerto Vallarta.

The beach list goes on and we will visit them by sea kayaks: incomparably lovely Chacala, with its creamy half-moon beach, regal palm grove, homey local lodgings and a pair of rustic-chic hotel-spas.

The magnet Rincón de Guayabitos, but even more so, it’s the hands-down Mexican family favourite resort of the entire Nayarit coast, largely for its many budget but comfortable bungalows and tranquil, kid-friendly waves.

The same is true of Lo de Marcos with is its wide, friendly beach, sheltered by headlands on both sides and bordered by a sprinkling of beach bungalows and palm-shaded RV parks and campgrounds.

A few miles farther south, San Francisco (or locally, San Pancho) still retains its sleepy beach village ambience, people come mainly for San Pancho’s abundant natural tranquility—of long strolls along palm-shaded forest trails, and gazing at the brilliant night sky and the spectacularly turbulent surf that dashes up San Pancho’s long, golden beachfront.

Last stop along the way will be Sayulita, once mostly the home of fishing families and oyster divers. Now, it’s a haven for artist and surfer wannabes, who come to cozy up in comfortable lodgings and enjoy Sayulita’s good food and colorful village ambience.
