We connected with Peter (owner) through a local dive master. We wanted to take a private tour with a local, knowledgeable, and responsible company. We found the right one in Oceanico. Peter and guide Isabel treated us to a visit with humpback whales, dolphins, turtles, a yellow-bellied sea snake, and snorkeling in 'secret bay' with an amazing variety of fish and sea creatures. This company has ties to the local and global research communities, a wealth of scientific talent, and a hyper-personal culture that is well-suited to curious travelers. True ocean nerds with a love for the great outdoors and the wildlife within. While you can elect to use your hotel/resort/beach contacts for this type of excursion, you likely won't get all the comforts and knowledge that Oceanico can provide. Snacks and water are provided for this four-plus-hour tour. THANK YOU, PETER, and THANK YOU, ISABEL! Two pistol shrimp snaps of praise from us. We hope to see you both again soon.
Thanks for choosing our little organization and for leaving us a wonderful recommendation. We thoroughly enjoyed sharing these amazing moments with you both. Huatulco is a paradise of marine wildlife and it is a privilege to share it with wonderful people like you two. Hope to see you again on your next visit.
This was such a memorable experience! The crew worked so well as a team to find us some amazing sights…sea turtles, a few whales (one with her calf) as well as hundreds (yes, hundreds) of dolphins! Their method of having a spotter, a drone to follow from afar, and underwater microphone allowed a multifaceted experience that neither us nor our 11 yr old will soon forget. They also took some great pictures for us! Snorkeling wasn’t great bc of cold water jellyfish but this just allowed us to spend more time searching for whales. We would definitely do this again!!
We hope you will go with us again!! Thanks for the lovely recommendation, it really was a pleasure to share all these wonderful moments with you and your family. More adventures to come!
The highlight of our 5 week trip here! Peter & Tito are excellent hosts. Peter is a Marine Biologist so he is extremely knowledgeable about whales, turtles and other marine life. We saw whales, many turtles, snorkeled in beautiful spots. Peter provided water and snacks. This adventure was well worth it, don’t hesitate to book, you won’t be disappointed!
Thanks! We love being able to provide the highlight of your visit to Huatulco. The ocean frontier in Huatulco is wonderful to explore and we feel it is a privilege to share it with great people like you all. Hope to see you again soon.
It is a very nice experience, seeing dolphins, turtle, various fish and manta rays. They explained the species that lived on the coast of Huatulco and their characteristics. We saw a family of spotted dolphins, two mothers with their young and a juvenile specimen. Later we went to the bays and snorkeled on the reef where we could observe different species of fish and turtles. All the time we were accompanied by Maria and Peter who answered our doubts. We'll be back with them in whale season.
Gracias por la amable recomendación. Fue un placer compartir estos avistamientos con usted y su familia. ¡Nos veremos cuando las ballenas regresen a Huatulco en invierno! ¡Saludos!
The trip was incredible, my family and I really enjoyed this tour, we were delighted with the treatment of the staff and especially the guide. Super recommended, we will return soon 🫶🏻
Gracias por elegir nuestra pequeña organización para ver la fauna oceánica en Huatulco. Tenemos la suerte de contar con un gran equipo de guías, realmente hacen que nuestros huéspedes experimenten algo especial. Esperamos volver a vernos pronto.
Doing an excursion like this with a marine biologist who LOVES their work makes all the difference. We learn so much every time we go out with this crew! We went 3 times on this last trip, and we are bringing friends with us from Canada next winter. Always a good time!
It is always a pleasure to have you onboard to share these amazing experiences. Huatulco really is a marine frontier with so little known about the dolphins, whales and all the marine wildlife populations. We appreciate you taking the time to post a recommendation and look forward to seeing you and your friends for more ocean adventures again soon!
