SURF TOURSREVIEW“I take 2 to 3 major surf trips a year and have been fortunate enough to have surfed Hawaii, Tahiti, Fiji, Western Samoa, Sri Lanka, and all over Mexico, and Mag Bay is by far the best all around surfing destination I have been to. There is a wonderful combination of factors that you have captured which makes Mag Bay such a special place. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to my return.” READ MORE – Brett D. |
SUP TOURSREVIEW” So blown away by the perfect Dry Hair paddle out at Mag Bay” |
Mag Bay Tours has been a family enterprise guiding expeditions into the fabled grounds of Bahia Magdalena for over 30 years!
We offer a wide range of expeditions for surfing, SUPing, fishing, kayaking, whale watching, and eco-tours.
Trips range from 2 to 8 days, and of course we can arrange longer stays if you want. Many do!

Whale Watchers can ride with one of our licensed captains to get close to the massive California Grey whales.

Amazing new base camp location for whale watching: El Farallon.


Anglers have year ‘round opportunities inshore, offshore, light tackle, medium tackle and fly fishing on a huge variety of species.


Kayakers can enjoy fishing from one of our sit-on-top XT Angler models.

SUPs enjoy the Summer Base Camp with a harbor launch and a scenic flat water estuary straight out of a National Geographic video.

Each expedition has very limited availability…Book it now!
Camp is made up of large, stand-up tents, floor area 10 x 9 feet, center height 6 feet, widely spaced for your privacy. Each tent site has its own shaded and wind protected porch, and plenty of space to dry out your gear. Your private tent is enclosed with screened ventilation on four sides. Sleeping bags, pillows, and cots with foam mattresses are provided.

You will be surprised at the comfort. This is “Glamping”. You have come to find wonderful, natural areas, free from crowds.
Mag Bay Tours offers two different base camps. Our surf camp is located on the Northern point on Bahia Santa Maria. The second camp is located inside Magdalena Bay for Whale Watching, Sportfishing, and Eco-Tours.

Our camps are semi-permanent as we try to have as little impact on the environment as possible. The camp has a large main structure that serves as the common area, dining room, communication center, and rec. area.
Now is the time to hang with a pod of whales in Bahia Magdalena…It’s great fun!
