South Padre Island Spring Break Optional Side Trips

Back

South Padre has some of the best beaches and clearest water in the entire world… so take advantage while you’re there and do at least one of these trips!

If it’s triple-starred, it’s included in the party package.

Kiteboarding Lessons

SPI is a world-class destination for learning to kiteboard- internationally one of the hottest and fastest growing extreme sports! Skills learned here are not just for the ocean because kiteboarding can be taken to the limits in snow, mountains, lakes and rivers. Why learn here? because if you have to take a beating would you rather land in warm shallow water or on ice crystals? Learn to fly a kite and take your skills back home. There's a good chance someone somewhere close to you is already tapping into your state's wind power for fun. Get in on it! Book you kiteboarding lessons now.  For more information on this sport check out How To Kiteboard.

Surfing Lessons

Includes a long board, wet suit, and lesson with resident Inertia pro surfer Gene Gore (takes the ladies out), and his paddle board champ wife Rachel (takes the boys out; she’s not hard on the eyes, fellas!)

The cost is for an hour lesson. You can read more about Gene and Rachel at their website — South Padre Surf Company — as well. Listen… this is an INCREDIBLE inclusion option in our party package at no extra charge. You don’t even need to know how to swim to learn!

Padre Pub Crawl

El Tour de Borracho is a bar crawl that includes a great sit down dinner at Amberjacks with margaritas, followed by 4 more locals bars ending up at Louies Backyard for their concert with VIP Entrance. Get a drink of any kind at each stop & you get a souvenir tee shirt as well

Dolphin Watch Tour

Aboard the two-level, glass-bottom, 60-foot Getaway, you’re 100% guaranteed to see dolphins on this narrated tour! One of the wonders of nature, South Padre Island has the most dolphins in the wild in all of North America. Bring your camera! They offer a sweet souvenir picture in front of the yacht when you’re done for , and it’s actually worth it because you are on a once in a lifetime trip!

Provided by The Original Dolphin Watch Tour, year-round. The price is separately.

Party Yacht Cruise

Our party yacht cruise is two full hours with beer, contests, music and more. It also includes cover charge after the cruise to Tequila Frogs — an Inertia Tours exclusive event — since we’re the only company big enough to pull it off right.

Sure. We have a lame competitor trying it… but you don’t get your cover charge into Tequila Frogs for free. The price for this trip is separately.

Fishing

The fishing in South Padre is INCREDIBLE. While it can be expensive, the cost is afforable if you hire a sharp guide with a boat for bayside saltwater fishing with equipment. A half-day trip for 3 people is about 75.00 per person with the boat, guide, gear.

Contact Chris Brandriff at Chops Fishing Service 956.299.1451 or simply ask at the Inertia Tours office when you arrive. Yes, you WILL catch fish, no questions about it.

Day Shopping Trip to Mexico

Provided by our affiliate Original Tours and close Inertia friend, Chris Brandriff. Chris is an island native and can tell you anything about Mexico & South Padre. This trip includes a guided tour, round trip motor coach, and you can buy a meal at Gracias at your own cost. The price is for any day of the week, although Inertia can set it up cheaper if you stop into our office at Sunchase Mall.

Jet Skiing

You can rent jet skis at Palm Street Pier next to Tequila Frogs. The price is - for a half hour. Advice: check the equipment over after you’re done, or you could get charged if something is broken when you return it.
