Essentials of Our Destination: Sport Fishing Days

One of the distinctive features of this area of the Mexican Pacific is the ease with which you can find deep-sea fishing species during most of the year. This has led to both Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit being recognized worldwide as an excellent destination to practice this exciting activity, either as a hobby or as a sport.

There are specific areas inside and/or outside spectacular Banderas Bay where it is more likely to find certain species, so various boats offer trips to these places with everything you need to enjoy this incredible experience.
