The crew on Margarita Island

They live on this island. They host the trip. They are here, ready and waiting.

Making the most of a trip with us starts with the people who live where we host you. Palapas Ventana has an exclusive outpost on Margarita Island, in Magdalena Bay. Fishing, diving, gray whale days, and striped marlin bait balls happen right here, in the action, on water other boats do not reach. This is the most complete way to be in it, with a crew that adores the place they live.

Come meet them

Join Toño, Silvia, Susana, Leny, Miriam, and Yuli. Friendly, authentic, and at home on Margarita Island.

Locally world famous

The island hot dog stand

Not ours - the island’s kindergarten teacher runs it, and she is locally world famous for Mexican-style hot dogs you will not find anywhere else out here.

Emarasada DogA sausage with a hot dog inserted in the middle.

Both come the classic way: crema, cebolla asada, chile, aguacate, and more. Come hungry, then settle into lodging with the same Margarita Island crew who live here and know the bay.

Having fun on Margarita Island

The days are the whales, the bait balls, and the time on the water. The nights are part of it too. Dress up, laugh, and spend the evening under the palapa. This is what it feels like to be on the island with the people who live here, not just passing through.
