Details about some of our special excursions:
INTO THE WILD


Explore local wilderness on a trek through the jungle behind Xinalani. Our journey will take us through the quaint fishing village of Quimixto and onto a sandy single track path that winds through the jungle. We will cross creeks, climb up some steep terrain and at the end be rewarded with the sound of a pristine waterfall. You may jump into the aquamarine waters to cool off or enjoy a well earned margarita at the waterside cafe.
Our expert guide is a zoologist and native plant expert, be prepared to open your mind to the ecosystem around you and enjoy some serious immersion in nature away from tourists.
LOS ARCOS SUP SNORKEL EXCURSION

Join us for a SUP adventure paddling into the the Los Arcos National Marine Park. Paddle through and around magnificent sea caves and crystal clear islet grottos.
Jump off the board and snorkel in the turquoise waters, taking in views of the colorful underwater world below us. And hopefully we will be lucky enough to have a close encounter with majestic humpback whales, dolphins, giant sea turtles, and blue footed boobies.
