Day Activities to do in Puerto Escondido with a bachelor/bachelorette party group
Whether you’re looking to just relax on one of the beaches and nurse the hangover or go on some adventures, there is no lack of things to do for a group at a bachelor party in Puerto Escondido.
If you’re looking for a tour it is worth noting that a lot of tours operate on a set schedule and take a maximum of 10 people.
La Punta Beach
If you’re looking for a beach that has access to bars, amazing surfing, or just a place to chill, La Punta beach is where you’ll want to be.
The beach has a number of day lounges attached to bars so having access to icy-cold beers won’t be an issue.
Normally the price of a lounge is around 150 pesos however if you’re with a group and spending money you shouldn’t have to pay.
This beach is a great spot to watch the sun go down so we’d recommend coming later in the afternoon although if some of you want to do some surfing you may want to come a little earlier.
Dolphin Watching
If you’ve been partying all night then you may not be up for this as it’s normally an early morning activity however it is more than worth it. A dolphin-watching tour is a half-day activity that takes 10 people per boat out to watch and swim with dolphins.
You may be thinking that you’ve seen dolphins before so why would you bother, but we can’t stress enough how awesome this experience is in Puerto Escondido. Being in the water with thousands of dolphins swimming past should be on anyone’s bucket list
Laguna Manieltepec
A day activity that is perfect for bachelor party groups in Puerto Escondido is visiting Laguna Manieltepec and the best time to do it is in the afternoon which will make it ideal for the late risers in the group.
Depending on who you go with they’ll also let you take beers on the boat which makes for an awesome afternoon exploring the mangroves while seeing all the awesome nature of Puerto Escondido.
If you visit here on a private tour there will also be the opportunity to see the bioluminescence on the same trip as well depending on the time of year you visit.
