Ixtapa Tourism
Horseback Ride
Don a cowboy hat and saddle up! An expert Mexican “cowboy” and your new, four-footed friend take you for a ride along the beach and through coconut and fruit plantations.
Mexican Fiesta
Enjoy a welcome from a Mariachi band and then taste the real traditions of Mexican cuisine with a buffet dinner. A folkloric ballet troupe—performing songs and dances from the different states of México—entertains the night away.
Combo Tour: Ixtapa City Tour, Customs & Traditions Tour, and Countryside Tour
From Ixtapa’s most famous modern sites to its ancient history to the local plantations and small towns, you’ll experience the best of Ixtapa in one tour!
Ixtapa Treasure Island
A short boat ride from Playa Linda to Ixtapa Island delivers you to Coral and Baradero Beaches, which are not only safe but also superior for swimming and snorkeling. Or, try something new—go out in a kayak, take a banana boat ride, or experiment with a wave runner.
