Take the bikes for a spin through the fishing village and up to the point of Punta Chame. Visit the beautiful beaches on the other side of the peninsula or go for a longer ride exploring the surroundings of Punta Chame.

On calm days and with the tide being low, SUP boarding in the bay of Punta Chame is a relaxing activity. You can explore the coastline and the lagoons of Punta Chame from the water.
Kayak
If you are up for an adventure, paddle over to John Waynes Island and stumble through the remains of John Wayne City and the old abandoned Hotel. Or explore the mangroves lining the coastline.
Day Trips
We are often running around 3-day trips per week to show you the beautiful area around Punta Chame and mix up the kitesurfing a little. These trips are included in your stay with us and you can read all about the different tours below.
In case we ever have no wind days, we are always sure to offer day trips.
We are passionate about surfing as well as kitesurfing so whenever the waves are good we are offering surf trips daily. When it’s pumping we surf twice in a day. We have over 30+ surf boards so always enough for everyone!
Normally we are also offering a canyon trip each week, nice to get in the fresh water each week.
You can see in the infographic how we make our daily decisions for if and what day trips we will be running. We have two mini busses and can use additional cars so can always offer all our guests to join.
Surf Trips - Included
Chame Banks is only about a 10 min drive from the Kite House on the other side of the peninsula. During the windy season, we get consistent swells and the offshore wind turns even the smallest swell into perfectly shaped waves. The spot is great for all levels, with high-quality waves, and especially forgiving for beginner - intermediate surfers.
We have been surfing the spot for years and it’s very tide-dependent but we always make sure we get you there at the right time. We always love a sun-rise session so this is always on the cards when the tides line up.
From Monday to Friday we can often nearly have the surf to our self and on the weekend it can be a little busier but with multiple A-frames lined up and down the beach, there is always a quiet peak to find.
We have a range of 30+ soft and hard boards available, suitable for complete beginners up to advanced surfers. We have a range of performance soft top surf boards for 6, 7 & 8ft are included. If you wanted to try a hard board we also have a big range and rental is $30 per session or $50 per day.
Jump in our minibus with us and enjoy a nice surf session or just relax on the wild beach.
Canyons, Climbing & Bouldering - Included
The Canyons are located about 30 min drive from the Kite House, we usually make one trip per week. After a short walk you can enjoy swimming and jumping off the cliffs of the canyons Bouldering up different climbing routes or just relax in the shade under some trees.
Check out the video of a morning with kiting followed by a canyon trip early this December, there was some rain the night before as it was the end of the wet season so more water falls and rapids than usual, enjoy!
Turtle Releasing - Included
Just a 10-minute walk up the peninsula and you will find a turtle breeding sanctuary. Whenever the turtles are ready to leave their nests we always our guests are invited to come and get involved. Normally the turtles are released on a weekly basis from December until the end of February, a voluntary $10 donation per person can be given to the conservation organization that takes care of the turtles.
Sunrise Hike Included**
Every evening we marvel at the beautiful sun setting behind Cerro Chame. Apart from beautiful sunset photos, Cerro Chame also offers an amazing view of Punta Chame, the Surf Spot at Chame Banks and the Islands in the far distance. Join us for a sunrise Hike, leaving the kite house at around 5:30 to start the hike in the cool morning air. We will arrive on top after about 1.5-2h hike and enjoy the beautiful views before making our way down again.
Depending on the weather we may also leave at 6 or 7 as sometimes early in the morning there can be low clouds messing up the view.
****
We only run the sunrise hike when there is no wind in the mornings and for groups of 6+
This is then an included day trip

If a group of 4 or more ever would like to do the hike on a windy day this can be arranged for around $30 per person.
