Josue is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and so kind -- he took us by boat to a surf break where we caught some of the best waves of our lives, and gave us sage surfing advice that we'll be practicing until we return.

I ended up purchasing all photos and videos, I even paid extra for my son to swim with the dolphin which was about 30 seconds long. When I go to check out and purchase I noticed all the videos were only 3-5 seconds long. I paid over $200 for these just to get a life time experience with my kid and received only 5 videos each for 3 seconds long. The one he swam around the pool was maybe 30 seconds long but I only received a video for 7 seconds. Very lame and disappointing that these places are all a tourist trap and take advantage of all tourists. I mentioned it to the guy at the end who checked me out and he said " this is how we do it here." great professional answer. Don't go here because you would want photos and videos which you will get nothing for what you're paying. Rip off

This whole crew is great. We went out with Alex Sr. (father), his two sons--Alex Jr. and…read moreDiego--and their dog Simon for surfing lessons. The waves nearby did not look great in the morning so when we arrived they took us by boat to a nearby spot that was much better. They gave us quick and helpful instructions on the beach, brought us protective shirts for the water, and brought along snacks and water (and boards, of course). The spot could not have been better for complete beginners and intermediate surfers alike. The breaks were good, smooth, and relatively predictable but not so tame as to be boring. The water was warm and the area was not crowded (we went early in the day--i.e., 9:30 am--and were there in mid-September). I've posted a photo taken from a cliff above our surf spot. It really was perfect. We enjoyed it so much that a few of us went back out with them two days later. This time, we drove in our rental car to the same spot. Alex and company brought the boards in their truck. Afterwards, Alex Jr. also took us to a nearby spot for a quick sip of raicilla upon our asking. They also tipped us off on where to find good tacos in town and a fun dinner place outside of town. All around, this is a really fun crew who enjoy what they do and are very good at it. I highly recommend them.

Front desk staff was impressively friendly, explained how it all works, and somehow managed to immediately get them a private instructor even though they appeared super busy. Sunshirts/rashguards were available to borrow but I'm glad kids had their own. Paschalis (Pascal) their teacher was AMAZING! Absolutely overflowing with enthusiasm and encouragement. He chose the right waves and got the kids going on them, so all they really had to do was pop up. Beach was busy with instructors and beginners, but Pascal was completely focused on my kiddos. They had a blast and I had even more fun watching the smiles! Lesson was 2 hours, with about 1.5hr in the water. The beach is beginner friendly. Lesson includes the surfboard. There's also a photographer at the beach and I'd definitely recommend budgeting to buy the photos. For 2 kids, with their own teacher, the lesson was $85/ea and pics were $55 for 1st kid and $15 for 2nd we got 36 fabulous photos. They had so much fun, we're going back for another lesson today!

Quinty even gave her a little education on her home country of the Netherlands. What a great experience to surf in Mexico while learning a little Dutch culture. She's a high energy instructor with an even higher surf IQ so please don't hesitate to book a lesson with her if you want to make the most of your La Lancha surf sessions. She's also very protective and observant while instructing, ensuring the safest learning environment for your friends and loved ones. ALL of the WildMex instructors are top notch, but my kiddo has already stated that she will only work with Quinty as long as she's available :) Thanks to the entire team at WildMex for making this surf holiday so memorable!

One son is an experienced surfer, one is pretty much a novice, and I am kind of in between. They were great with all of us. Can't speak highly enough about them!

I rode a few days while there, a mix of gravel around town and the single track ride over to San pancho. The trails are found on the trail forks app. Any competent mountain biker would be fine.

The staff is incredibly attentive and welcoming from the start. Fair warning: the drinks start flowing around 9am, so pace yourself and bring lots of sunscreen -- the sun + cocktails add up quickly. The booze selection is pretty generic, but plentiful, and the snacks along the way are appreciated. The fajita lunch was solid and hit the spot after a morning on the water. Shoutout to Ricky Ricardo, truly the hostess with the mostest -- high energy, fun, and kept the vibe going all day. Luis was also fantastic, constantly checking in and somehow remembering everyone's names, which made the experience feel very personal and welcoming. They even slowed the boat down so we could watch whales, which was a highlight, and having a photographer on board was a nice touch to capture the day. The music on the ride home was a little outdated, but honestly... it just turned into a dance party anyway -- especially once the tequila shots started making the rounds. All in all, a great excursion with a fun crowd, attentive staff, and memorable moments. Easy 4 stars and a solid choice if you're looking for a lively day trip while in Puerto Vallarta.

The breakfast on the way there was an assortment of fruit and mini muffins. The lunch was fajitas which we really enjoyed. I loved that everyone had to wear a life jacket for the first 10 minutes of the ride as I was initially nervous about the ride. After the 10 minutes are up, we had the option of continuing to wear the life jacket or take it off. All the instructions they gave were in both English and Spanish. One of the highlights on the way there was the whale watching. We saw a couple of them and it was so cool because it's the very end of the season, so we won't be seeing them again for a few months. Once we got the the island, we had some really good chips and guacamole. There were a few different excursion options for an additional cost. such as hiking to the waterfall, going horseback riding, or driving ATVs. Not sure what the cost for those were. We enjoyed snorkeling in the ocean and swimming in the shallow pool with a bar attached for easy access. I highly recommend this tour. We definitely got our money's worth and more!
