Custom Outings is a small family run
business in San Benito, Texas. We are involved in several aspects of customized guiding both in Texas and Mexico. We operate a Bed and
Breakfast in San Benito. We have been involved in Mexico since 1967. We owned and operated a cattle ranch for 13 years in the state of Tamaulipas. Our children were born in Mexico. Over the years we have learned the customs of the people and the area well and feel qualified to show you a
safe and fun time across the border. Custom Outings offers fun and bountiful guided
trips mostly in the Northeastern section of Mexico. We have enjoyed guiding small groups on
trips such as: 1. Antique shopping in colonial Mexico 2. Birding in the Sierra Madres 3. Butterflying from the high desert to the low coastal plains 4. Palm and plant
trips 5. General exploring 6. Sea shelling on remote beaches. Custom Outings 18413 Landrum Park Rd. (Hwy. 675) San Benito, Texas 78586 (956) 425-4651 Have a question? Comment? Need more information? Send us a message!
