The tour guide should check the weather and sea conditions prior to leaving the harbour. Seas had 3 meter swells on return trip, conditions so bad be stopped to take a bus back to base.The cost of food at the preferred restaurant was outrageous. $20 for guacamole and $20 for small plate of French fries.
Great overview of the major bays and beaches ofHuatulco. First stop was an amazing snorkeling opportunity and second stop was at a wonderful palapa restaurant on the beach. Very relaxing and opportunity for activity if you do the snorkeling.
Crew was amazing and so friendly. Super helpful, very down to earth. Made us feel safe while snorkeling in the open water/ocean. That was intense.
My wife was charged 250 pesos for a life jacket. She brought her own snorkel, fins and mask. No one else was charged. Viator trip described as a Catamaran. Our boat was a standard panga, overcrowded with 14 passengers.
Dear Scott_G, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a comment. We continually work to offer a good experience to our guests and we regret that we have not hit the nail on the head in this regard. We hope this will help us improve in the future.
I did the five bays and it took a few hours from the cruise dock. The first half of the ride was very good as the guide spoke excellent English and gain great commentary on the land and other information. We saw a blowhole that was interesting. We stopped for 1/2 hour at Maguey Bay for swimming. This was a major disappointment as it was just a beach - no coral or fish. Others commented the water was a bit chilly, so I did not bother to get in, and seeing fish was one of the reasons I signed up. They did serve bananas, watermelon, coke, fresca, water, beer and margaritas the entire trip. The ride back did not have as much commentary. It overall was average.

For $65 dollars a person and on top of that $30 to get picked up at our resort was a red Flag! I said whatever we can take a taxi. But then I received a message saying the excursion ppl were stopping by our resort so we can ride with them. Okay kool no problem. Then when we get to the port we pay to get in okay kool no issue there. But then there was a confusion or idk but everyone boarded the catamaran but us that were in the vehicle cuz our guide was late with our tickets. So now we are the last ones to board whatever it’s fine we made it. But then the whole ride was not what we expected or what the excursion said we were going to do. Basically it was not good we should have done the $33 dollar excursion it was the same damm thing. Definitely not the party boat
Dear Rebecca Frausto, We greatly appreciate your review, every comment counts because it makes us see what we are doing well and where we should improve. Remember that you booked a tour with a meeting point, as an act of goodwill, we offered you round-trip transportation at no extra cost. There was a confusion when everyone boarded the catamaran because our guide arrived late with your tickets. In the end we managed to resolve it and we will ensure that it does not happen again. The entire trip was exactly what the tour description says. We are very sorry that you were the last to board our catamaran and we apologize profusely for that.
The snorkeling is nice. The water was quite cloudy on the day we went, but on calmer days it would be a lot of fun.

Booked an English language tour but was in Spanish. I don't believe there is an English tour as the option suggests.
There are no words to apologize. We always send our guide to do the translation, but for some reason our guide did not get on the boat, we have taken action. Thank you very much for investing your time to leave us your comment.
we chose the five bay cruise and snorkeled in two bays. There are some bays that are high traffic with restaurants and shops and crowded with people, we skipped those and opted for the less trafficked bays. the scenery is different in each bay, along with colorful fish and a cute puffer fish out guide Martilino pulled up and demonstrated his blowing water out of his tiny mouth and gills. We also held an urchin and felt it moving. Snorkeling and seeing the bays was a highlight for our trip to Huatulco
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with us. I am sincerely glad, the great impression we leave on you and it is comforting for us to read that your experience has been to your liking and it is an honor to know that we exceed your expectations. Best regards.
