Humpback whales from December, the Marietas Islands, a panga to Yelapa for lunch and a waterfall. Book direct with the operator where you can — more of it stays in town.

Tell us your dates, budget, and what you like. We'll put together a day-by-day plan using live data — open restaurants, upcoming events, current beach conditions.

Hand-picked, not paid placements. Recommendations are a plain rule — party, budget, and live weather — and we show you the reason. Some “Book” links earn us a small commission at no extra cost to you; it never changes what we list or the order.

Wrong phone number, a place that closed, a broken link — tell us and we'll fix it. We read every one.
