Activities |
Enjoy all that South Padre has to offer by taking advantage
of these Tour and Excursion offers.
Beach Buggy Rentals
A ton of fun! Rent a beach buggy and cruise the Padre strip or take your buggy off-road to cruise along the beach or near the sand dunes.
Party Cruise
Hop aboard a 60ft double decker Catamaran on a sunset cruise to nowhere. Party with other spring breakers, look for dolphins and catch an unforgettable sunset. The cruise includes a 2-hr boat ride, music and FREE beverages (beer, punch, soda, and water). Upon return, your tickets get you on the SpringBreakDiscounts/Leisure Tours VIP list for free admission to the event of the night. Available Sun, Mon, Tue and Wed from 5:30-7:30pm
Dolphin Watch Cruises and ECO-tours
This cruise operates daily and runs for about 1 1&Mac218;2 hrs. The dolphin watch will take you to the jetties where there is a 90% success rate in seeing dolphins. The ECO-tour acts as a floating classroom where the 1st mate will drag a net in the ocean to capture a variety of marine life. The captain then hosts a shoe & tell to review the marine life caught by the net.
Fishing
South Padre Island is Texas' hottest fishing spot. Drop your line from a boat, a pier or cast out into the surf. Tackle an 800-pound Marlin or maybe a state-record Wahoo in the Gulf of Mexico.
Glady Porter Zoo
One of the top 10 zoos in the nation. The zoo is a 31-acre preserve with more than 1,800 mammals, birds and reptiles.
Golf
South Padre Island boasts one of the best golf courses in Texas. The climate allows golfers to tee off 12 months a year.
Horseback Riding
Take a 1-1&Mac218;2 ride through the sand dunes, along the beach and skim the Gulf of Mexico. The Island Equestrian Center has horses that are appropriate for all riding levels. In fact, children and first time riders are their specialty - they have horses specially trained to accommodate them. One thing you should know is that their ride is not a trail ride (they do not ride in a single file) - it's much more! Their guides accompany the group to give basic instruction to novice riders and to watch out for the safety of everyone. All riders are given an opportunity to trot and lope the horses. Each rider can make his/her own decision and that's something that makes this experience very unique.
Kiteboarding
Kiteboarding is fast becoming the hottest new water sport adventure and South Padre Island offers year-round, world-class kiteboarding conditions. The Laguna Madre's waist deep water and consistent winds offer beginner to expert riders near perfect flat-water conditions to hone their skills.
Mexico Day Trip
Spice up your trip to South Padre Island with a zesty shake of Mexican flavor and experience a Two-Nation Vacation. Just 25 short miles by land, Matamoros is located on the Mexican-American border and receives thousands of visitors each year.
Surfing
The Gulf of Mexico offers the best waves in Texas on the most beautiful white sandy beaches around. Consistant southerly winds make surfing South Padre's Isla Blanc Park or Boca Chica an experience not to miss.
Watersports
Banana boat rides, Catamaran/hobie-cat rentals, Fishing, Jet Ski and waverunner rentals, Kiteboarding, Paddle Boats, Parasailing, SCUBA diving/lessons, and more.

The sailing season in South Padre runs from September through May. Water depth varies from three to five feet, daytime winds average 18 mph and the average yearly temperature is in the 70s. Novices and pros come to sail the bay, the Jetties, Boca Chica and the Ditch, site of some of the fastest windsurfing speeds in North America.
Whaling Wall
Internationally-known environmental artist Wyland picked South Padre Island to paint Whaling Wall #53, his only wall in Texas. Wyland is planning to paint 100 walls during his career to educate people on the importance of marine conservation.
