Ocean Experiences
From wild Pacific mornings to golden, wind-filled afternoons. The north shore of Peru is one of the most magical coastlines in South America. At Casa AYA, the ocean is part of the experience from whales breaching in season to saltwater adventures that begin just minutes from the house. Guests can enjoy everything from gentle turtle swims and sunset boat trips to world-class surf and kitesurfing.
Whale Watching
July – November
One of the most extraordinary experiences on the north coast. Humpback whales migrate through these waters each year, often visible directly from Casa AYA. For a closer encounter, trusted local operators offer private and shared boat excursions from Los Órganos and Máncora.
