If you're spending any time at the beach in Zihuatanejo, you'll probably see the Picante catamaran,…read moreboth docked and cruising across the water. Just look for the big boat decorated with a painted chili pepper. Zihuatanejo isn't a huge place, and I think Picante might be the only option if you want to enjoy a sailing excursion. We went on a sunset cruise with a big group on our first night in Zihuatanejo for Melissa K. and Kevin L.'s wedding. The bride booked it last minute, and we had the whole boat to ourselves. It was a lot of fun, even though I was one of the only sober (and pregnant) people on board. There was an open bar with free-flowing alcohol, and we had a rollicking sunset party on the water. The cruise was relaxing and beautiful, taking us from Zihuatanejo to Ixtapa and back. There was a pretty long stretch when we were joined by a huge pod of dolphins, more dolphins than I've ever seen in my life. They swam and played in the waves kicked up by the catamaran. There was dinner service on board, but it was frankly not great--ready-made plates of chicken, rice, and vegetables--and most of us required a second dinner once we got back to land. Otherwise, though, the sunset cruise was fantastic. I'd recommend Picante if you're looking for things to do in Zihuatanejo, especially if you like dolphins.

What a fabulous , knowledgeable, fun tour guide! Luis de La Maza was highly recommended by our…read morehotel, Worldmark Zihuatinajo, and they booked him to take us on an archeological tour and then a beach trip to Las Gatos. We had so much fun that we booked him another day to take us to Ixtapa Island. He went out of his way to provide special details like helping us to go to an ATM, getting us special sweet bread filled with coconut, arranging really great full body massages in the beach on Ixtapa Island for only $15 USD., showing us crocodiles and iguana, and so much more! He was a fabulous snorkeling guide, showing us amazing fish, took us where there were no crowds and we could truly relax, taking us to a museum and the pyramid, and taking us to really see the local people. He is so nice and helpful, humble and kind. We will come back again to have him show us more of this beautiful area.

Most beautiful island in Mexico so far! This place is so pretty. One side of the beach is…read moresnorkeling with waters filled with reef. The other side (you can walk in 3 minutes) has restaurants and great water for swimming. Very clear and blue with no waves. It was very cove-like. My friends and I decided to go fishing for the day so we rented a boat from La Madera to Ixtapa Island figuring that we could fish on the way to this island in the open water and then swim when we got to the island. Perfect decision!! We caught about 8 fish (a local fish in Zihua called Barrelete). We pulled up to the island and had to jump out into the water to get to shore. SO COOL. Then, the forst restaurant cooked our fish right there and it was the best thing I had ever tasted. The island itself was very pretty and had chickens, goats, bunnies, and deer! Yes deer!! How the heck are they out there you say?! I have no idea but it was way cool. I never wanted to leave this island. It was my top beach for Zihua/Ixtapa. This island is a must see! Awesome day trip!
