Experience the marine wonders of Puerto Escondido this weekend with thrilling dolphin watching and sport fishing adventures. Despite the mixed weather, the vibrant culture and stunning natural beauty promise an unforgettable getaway.
Morning Marine Adventures
Puerto Escondido, a gem on the Oaxacan coast, offers a weekend filled with marine wonders and conservation experiences. As the sun rises on November 16th, the clear skies and mild temperatures create the perfect setting for a morning adventure. Start your day with Dolphin Watching from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM. This thrilling excursion takes you into the heart of the ocean, where you can witness dolphins in their natural habitat. The guides at Omar’s Sportfishing & Tours are experts in navigating the waters, ensuring you have a memorable experience. As one recent review noted on 2024-10-18:
Fantastic dolphin watching! We saw THREE of the four dolphin species that are in the area, thanks to our great guide! The spinners were the best. They swam around the boat, played near the boat, and even did a few of their spinning leaps out of the water to entertain us!
After your dolphin encounter, consider a leisurely breakfast at a local café, soaking in the sun and savoring the flavors of Oaxaca.
Afternoon Showers and Indoor Delights
As the afternoon approaches, the weather shifts with increased cloud cover and a high chance of rain and thunderstorms. This is the perfect time to explore Puerto Escondido’s indoor attractions. Visit local museums to learn about the region’s rich history and culture, or find a cozy café to enjoy a cup of Oaxacan coffee. The rain provides a unique opportunity to experience the town’s vibrant indoor life, where you can mingle with locals and fellow travelers.
For those who prefer to stay active, consider a yoga class or a cooking workshop. These activities not only keep you dry but also offer a deeper connection to the local culture. As the rain subsides in the evening, take a stroll along the beach, where the partially cloudy skies create a stunning backdrop for a sunset view.
Fishing and Conservation on the High Seas
On November 17th, the day begins with partially cloudy skies and warm temperatures, ideal for another morning on the water. Join Sport Fishing from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM for a five-hour adventure that combines the thrill of fishing with the beauty of marine life. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a novice, the team at Omar’s Sportfishing & Tours will guide you through the process, ensuring a day filled with excitement and discovery. A review from 2024-08-31 highlights the experience:
Incredible fishing experience - Fantastic day on the water. Omar and Alex were very friendly and helpful and made sure we had the most enjoyable experience possible. We caught a ton of fish including a massive sailfish.
As the afternoon clouds roll in, bringing the possibility of rain, it’s a good time to reflect on the morning’s adventures. Head back to town and enjoy a meal at a local restaurant, where you can savor the catch of the day prepared in traditional Oaxacan style. The evening remains warm but overcast, providing a cozy atmosphere to unwind and plan your next adventure in this sun-soaked paradise.
