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
Cruise on a Pirate Ship
The Black Dragon is a modern day replica of an 18th Century Barque. Below the water line, she is a modern sea worthy vessel with the latest marine technology, but above the water, she is a trip back into time, to a place where the likes of Jean Lafitte sailed the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Laguna Madre making port right here in Port Isabel. Legend has it that Lafitte took refuge in this area and dug a well in Laguna Vista. Local ranchers formed business alliances with pirates who sailed their contraband between the Rio Grande and Corpus Christi. Now you can sail the same waters with Black Dragon Cruises.

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 And ATV Rentals
Take a 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. Ride ATVs on the there private 10 acre sand dune course!

Windsurfing
The Laguna Madre bay separates South Padre Island from the Texas mainland and is recognized as one of the world's top windsurfing destinations. 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.

In just an hour or less you will be building and carving very cool sand structures - no artistic talent required. Sandcastling is a skill that will enhance your beach trips for the rest of your life!
