Trap for tourists

The boat tour is quick and pleasant, the problem is that then you are dropped off inside a restaurant and you have to stay there about 3 hours because beyond' the restaurant facilities there is absolutely nothing. There is a microbeach that is the same where the motor boats arrive and park, and there are also jet skis. One can bathe, but the space is very small and one has to take care of the boats and the motorcycles, for the children this' dangerous. It's not worth paying for the boat to get you into his restaurant. We complained, we were allowed to sit at their tables without consuming and there we stayed for hours, basically we were robbed on Sunday

Nosotros organizamos Paseos Guiados en Camioneta Van o Automovil y visitamos una Playa sobre el Oceano Pacifico cuyo nombre es Pie de la Cuesta. Aparentemente el cliente fue por su cuenta a visitar la Laguna de Pie de la Cuesta, nada que ver!

Coyuca Lagoon and Turtle Farn

We had a wonderful time in this tour! Our guide ended up with just the two of us. I can’t remember his name but when he wasn’t giving tours he worked at a travel agency. He was very informative and told us much about the area. The boat ride up the lagoon was awesome and we enjoyed the wide variety of birds that we encountered. Our boat guide was a lady and she knew almost all the birds. We had a very authentic filling lunch at a waterside restaurant. We had red snapper, rice, black beans and sopas. It was very filling! The turtle preserve and farm was such a treat! We got to name and release our own turtles. The place is the real thing! We also stopped at several overlooks for photos. We highly recommend this excellent tour.

<p>Loved the quaintness of the excursion. The guide and driver were excellent. The beach lunch was fantastic. I was a bit disappointed in the turtle release. Maybe my expectations were to high. I wanted to see the eggs and have better understanding of turtles. We were given baby turtles and given a line on the shore where to stand and relese them. They did swim to the ocean which was awesome. I just wanted more history and explaination</p>

<p>We were on a cruise ship that stopped in Acapulco for the day. Our instructions were to meet our guide outside the gangplank at 11:30...They changed the pick-up time to 9:00 which was good for us, but unfortunate for two in our group of 8 people that did not have access to internet for the new time. We waited for over 30 minutes and then left without them. The tour was overall great. The boat ride was wonderful with lots of great scenery and species of birds. The best part of the day was the release of the Kemp Ridley turtles... A very special event. I was able to release six into the Pacific Ocean...hoping that at least one will survive their perilous journey to adulthood. The reason, I am giving this tour a four instead of a five is the lunch. It was terrible. Two extra cold beers were nice, but I can not recommend the fish or shrimp lunches....of course we were hungry, so we ate some of it...but it was not appetizing. The beans were tasteless, the rice was dry and the shrimp were over cooked and dried out...so. you could not get them out of their shells. This company could change my rating to five stars plus, if they just improve the lunch...</p>

<p>Roger was an amazing guide and very knowledgeable. The tour was a lot of fun, there were 4 in our family ranging in age from 13-63 and everyone had a great time. You have the opportunity to swim in the river, so bring a suit! There is also a mud mask you can buy. I highly recommend this tour.</p>

<p>Tour started in my hotel, then we head to Pie de la Cuesta beach, Arturo and Roger our guides were a wealth of information and they additionally drove through the City Market, It took one hour approx. to arrive to Barra de Coyuca, the narrow strip of land between Pacific Ocean and Laguna de Coyuca where Sylvester Stallone filmed Rambo: First Blood Part II.</p> <p>What a paradise. The mixture of the two different areas turned out in success. It came naturally and very beautiful to me, with bird flocks, sand, sea waves and the lagoon. Very peaceful atmosphere, I would say. Lunch was awesome, but my favorite part was the Sea Turtle Release, what a cool thing to witness and be a part of! One of the best tours Ive ever taken, I thought at first it sounded like a super Touristy thing to do, but it's now one of the things I tell people not to miss!!!</p>
