Tours & Attractions
One of the primary attractions of a Riviera Nayarit vacation is this section of the Pacific Ocean. Extending 42 miles (68 kilometers) from
the state of Jalisco into Nayarit is Bahia Banderas Bay, the largest natural bay in Mexico, flourishing with tropical fish and sea life, and is the principal breeding place for Humpback whales. Water sports activities include sports fishing year round, whale watching (mid-December through mid-March), swimming with dolphins, plus boating, sailing, surfing, kiteboarding, diving, and snorkeling.
For those who would rather stay on terra firma, there are plenty of activities on land, such as nature tours and sightseeing trips, offering horseback riding, hiking, four wheeling, mountain biking, and zip lining through the jungle. The surrounding tropical rainforests, lush jungles, and valleys of the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range and the burgeoning wetlands and mangroves have earned Nayarit recognition as a significant ecological reserve.
Nature & Eco-tourism
With its emphasis on nature conservation, this is the perfect place for sustainable tourism (also known as ecotourism, environmentally friendly tourism, and responsible tourism) with tour options that contribute to the preservation of the world’s ecosystems and support the region’s natural wonders and cultural heritage. Nayarit is part of the historic empire of the Aztec Indians, primarily the Cora and Huichol tribes, and features several cultural attractions like the archaeological sites of the Altavista Petroglyphs and Los Toriles (Ixtlán del Rio) Ruins, or tours like the Huichol Indian Encounter.Home to the Olive Ridley, Leatherback, Hawksbill, and Green sea turtles that nest on its gold beaches various times of the year, Riviera Nayarit also supports endangered sea turtle conservation programs. The turtles’ fragile eggs and vulnerable hatchlings need protection from predators, which has resulted in the establishment of sea turtle camps, farms, and sanctuaries with rescue programs that welcome travelers to learn about and observe them in their natural habitat, and participate in young turtle releases into the sea.
The Pacific Ocean at Bahia Banderas Bay is not the only area flourishing with life, but Nayarit’s rainforests, mangroves, and marshes 
are also thriving with wildlife, including 200 plant species and 500 animal species. Extending north beyond Bahia Jaltemba Bay, the region’s nearby wetlands and beaches are a natural habitat for native and migratory birds, which results in spectacular birding and bird watching. Notably, 80% of the Pacific Coast’s migratory birds take refuge in the towns of Singaita, La Tovara, Isla Isabel, and San Blas, the latter of which is home to 300 bird species.
