Why Sayulita? Sayulita is called Pueblo Magica! It is easily accessible from most major US cities with no jet lag! But it feels far-away and remote. It's vibrant streets and celebratory vibe make it a great escape! Dionne's family is from Nayarit and she has been traveling to this area for 15 years for solo, family and group trips. She loves sharing the heart of Mexico with travelers of all ages.
What is included?
How many people are coming? Our vision is to provide a community experience, so we are limiting this trip to 10 teens.
What if teens have never surfed? We got you. Our local expert Risa never fails to help first-time surfers have an amazing experience! *This is not just a surf trip. The surf lesson is a part of the experience to get teens out of your comfort zone. It's all fun, no danger!! If teens are a surfer and they want to surf till they drop you they swap out the surf lessons for surf board rental for the week and surf when you want.
What will the weather be like? Tropical! All bedrooms will have A/C. Nights and mornings can be chilly sometimes, so a light jacket is recommended.
What will a typical day be like?Each day will be determined by the ocean and wave forecast as well as what we're learning about the group needs. A typical day will look like something like this:
