Ride a comfortable boat through Huatulco National Park bays, snorkel colorful reefs, spot sea life, and enjoy a relaxed seafood lunch.
“If you really are keen to swim, the second beach that the tour stops at has much gentler waves and so is calmer to soak in, as well as gorgeous. Bring plenty of money for supper at the seafood restaurant, as well as the money you are asked to bring for tax and entrance into the area. They provide water and beverages on the boat but you might like to bring a water bottle for the beach, as well. Wear your highest SPF unless you rent a beach umbrella with 2 chairs at the first beach, as it will be peak time of day. It says that brunch is provided…”

Small-group marine biologist boat tour in Huatulco, with offshore wildlife spotting and quiet National Park snorkeling by ladder and reef.
“This small group (7 people plus 3 crew) ocean eco excursion was outstanding. We saw humpbacks, including the first baby whale sighting of the season, many turtles, and a pod of spotted dolphins. Snorkelled a beautiful reef in a secluded bay in the national park. Lots of fish of all kinds. Followed a humpback and got pictures of the underside of the tail which uniquely identifies the whale. Guides Peter (marine biologist) and Tony were very knowledgeable, informative and personable. Peter posted high quality still pictures, drone and under water videos of the whales and dolphins that we saw at no extra cost. There was no upselling. Trip lasted 4.5…”

Copalitilla Magic Waterfalls near Huatulco: 7-hour guided jungle hike with swimming pools, hotel pickup, and lunch. Budget extra fees.
“Long ride on a very windey road. Nice vehicle to ride in. Enjoyed the waterfalls very much. At the last waterfall there was zip line which I tried to go on but was told I needed 50 peso to go on it. Our tour never mentioned this was an option so therefore I didn’t bring any money into the waterfall hike and I wasn’t going all the way back to the vehicle to get money to go on it. That was disappointing but otherwise a good tour. The buffet was very good.”

“What a great experience! If you book with a different company, you’ll wish you had booked this tour. From start to finish we loved it! It starts early and we got to each of the spots before the crowds. The boat ride out to the first beach was beautiful! Charlie did a great job in English and Spanish. They made sure you knew what was going to happen. We had a fantastic time snorkeling (you have to rent the snorkel gear before getting on the boat). Then we went to a beautiful beach for lunch. It was perfectly timed and very enjoyable. Go on this if you want some fun…”
Private airport-to-hotel transfer in Huatulco with air-conditioned vehicle, name sign pickup, and stress-free arrival for up to 15.
“Specifically booked a private transfer due to requirements for infant seats. As the airline would not guarantee availability of infant seats with transfer included with our flights. Pick up at airport on arrival was good and seat included. On the day before departure I confirmed our transport and reminded we had an infant and required the seat. It was confirmed by the transport company. On our pick up they arrived without a seat. The driver stated he was not told to bring one. I reached out to the company who stated we have none available. So why did I pay extra for a private transfer with an infant seat if…”
