Learn to Surf!
Taking a lesson with Troncones resident surf instructor is the best way to learn how to surf. He is especially great with teenagers and those who have never surfed before. They has all the boards, rash guards and gear that you need to be standing up on the waves in no time. They have experience in Troncones for 16 years and knows all the secret spots for any kind of swell. They also takes care of transportation to and from any lesson. Many packages are available from a week long surf camp to private lessons.
We will also be happy to make appointments for you, no problem!
Boogie Boarding
Boogie boarding can be enjoyed right in front of the hotel. We have wonderful boogie board waves and have boards available for our guests.
Snorkling
If the waves are small, it is possible to snorkel in our bay. The chance of that is about 50-50. It is always possible to snorkel in the tide pools.
Bike Riding
EDÉN has six bikes that we rent for 170 pesos an hour.
Reading & Games
Yep, there’s NO television. Playing games is a fun way to spend a day. We have cards, dominoes, and Scrabble, but if you are more like a reading person, we probably have a book for you. Just ask and we will give you a selection.
Tide Pools
A tide pool is a place where the rocks protect an area from waves but still let in water and fish. They are like natural aquariums. There are lots of tide pools nearby, from huge almost Olympic size to petite one person size. The biggest one is on the left (south) point as you look out your screen doors. It is about a 7-10 minute walk, take your hat, mask and snorkel. It is shallow but a perfect place for viewing lots of different fish, and no waves to throw you around.
There are also quite a few smaller pools on the north (right) side of the bay. In front of the house with the big palm frond roof you will find lots of Jacuzzi’s, where the waves come in and swirl around making lots of bubbles and fun! Take a couple of beers and pretend like you are the only people on this unspoiled beach.
Water Sports
We have the best swimming beach in the area, no exaggeration! If you go down to the village of Troncones you will find that the waves are twice as high and the beaches twice as rocky
Please be safe when swimming. A good thing to do is to assess the size of the waves before you go in the water. For the most part you will find medium to small sized waves in our bay. The general rule is if you think that it looks big from the beach, don’t go out past your waist!! The cool thing is that most fun stuff can be done in shallow-ish water.
Horse Riding
Jesús has great horses. We can book him anytime, and he will show up with however many steeds you like. The rate is $500 pesos an hour per horse.
Yoga
Yoga is available at many places up and down the beach. Our favorite instructor is Natalie Clark. Private lessons also available by appointment, email Natalie at 2natalieclark@gmail.com.
Bird Watching & Walking Trails
Playa Troncones is located on the Pacific Slope a very special area for birding where you will find species that are not common in other parts of Mexico. There are a couple of guides that provide birding tours and are very knowledgeable. Try Costa Nativa or William Mertz.
Troncones is crisscrossed with walking trails from the publicly maintained Troncones Trails (for walking and mountain biking) to the countless little paths used by locals. There are plenty of options for adventure!
