Mexico – Climb & Surf Sayulita & Puerto Vallarta

Join us for the perfect winter rock climbing and surf escape!  We have searched the world for decades looking for a place where we can offer trips that combine beginner and intermediate surfing, rock climbing, and sunny warm winter temperatures all within the same vicinity. We found it on the beaches down in Mexico! Winter temperatures averaging 78 degrees in the day, and low 60 degrees at night, 75 degree ocean temps, combined with oceanside living, beautiful beaches, mountainous jungles, plentiful accommodation options, with a short easy flight from the US and delicious fresh food make our Banderas Bay, Mexico destination the perfect place to enjoy some rock climbing, warm water surfing, and swimming this winter!

This will be our sixth season surfing and rock climbing in The Bahia de Banderas Bay, Mexico, located near the international airport of Puerto Vallarta in Jalisco.  Mountain Skills expert guides have teamed up with local climbers and begun the development of six new climbing areas in and around The Bahia De Banderas, Puerto Vallarta, and Sayulita, Mexico! The rock climbing areas are still small but offer world class climbing. The areas have five star diverse rock from limestone sport cliffs high above the ocean, easy seaside granite trad routes, beach bouldering, private sport cliffs with drive up access, and remote mountain towns with basalt caves and cracks! Come enjoy some of the new routes we have created or put up your own creation with the help of our seasoned professional, route setters!

Surfing in The Bahia De Banderas, Mexico includes well over half a dozen different beginner and intermediate surf locations within a half an hour  drive of Punta De Mita, Sayulita, or Puerto Vallarta, for short boards and long boards alike! These local breaks include Burros, LA Lancha, El Anclote, Sayulita, and there are more!

Mountain Skills can bring together a Mexico surfing and rock climbing trip to match your ability and interest level. We will create the perfect custom climbing or surfing trip to suit your desires for a long weekend or a multi week long trip to Sayulita, Puerto Vallarta, Punta De Mita or any other location you  are staying in The Bahia de Banderas area of Mexico!

What to Expect From Our Lessons:

​Breakdown of the Lesson:

For first-timers the first 20 minutes will be spend on the beach:
Learning the right way to position yourself on the board, pop-up, etcMastering the technique to paddle efficiently. Understanding how to read the waves, which is essential for any surfer.Familiarizing yourself with ocean safety measures, ensuring a fun and safe surfing experience.​

Once the basics are practiced a few times, it’s time for the real action. You’ll head into the water where for the next 1.5 – 2 hours, you’ll be catching waves. But you won’t be doing it alone; your instructor will be with you, guiding, assisting, and ensuring you harness the waves to the fullest.

For people with experience, this part will be very quickly or even skipped, and you will be heading to the water practicing for 1.5 – 2 hours with the instructor!
