Surfing
The coasts of Manabi and Guayas provinces are the most popular places for surfing with tourists and Ecuadorians alike, and laid-back Montanita , in Guayas province, has the reputation of being the country's surf centre, though quieter Canoa , to the north, also has a loyal, less hippieish following. There are some keen surfers on the Galapagos Islands too, particularly at San Cristobal, where you'll find several places to hire a board and even get a lesson . You won't need to take a wet suit if you're surfing on the mainland, but the water in the Galapagos can get cold in the dry season. The surf season is at its height from December to February, when the waves are usually at their fiercest.
