Dolphin watching was fantastic and magical! Free pick up from our accommodation, went out on a small fishing skiff right on sunrise and then travelled about 20-30 mins out to... read more sea to find the dolphins. Saw several schools of Pinto dolphins and then another school of spinner dolphins, plus a few big turtles, including a circling pair, and lots of birds including pelicans and a brown boobie identified by the boat's captain. Most of the time we were by ourselves without other boats. We paid 800 pesos but later heard that other places offer for 600 pp. Good to know: if you want to swim, wear a long sleeved rash shirt and preferably a wetsuit to avoid being stung by jellyfish. It is not pleasant although the stings don't last long. Avoid the tour if you are prone to seasickness, a lot of people were throwing up and didn't seem to enjoy. Also note that the best view of the dolphins is at the front of the boat! Enjoy!!!!

  Roberto's Ecotours provided a perfect snorkeling day trip from Punta Zicatela. We had great communication from the beginning and it was easy to ask questions and be prepared for the... read more day's activities. Our trip was just me, my husband and 8 year old son. Our driver, Polo, picked us up at our hotel. We were pleasantly surprised to be the only people on the tour that day. I sat in the front and enjoyed practicing my Spanish with Polo who was funny, a great storyteller and a really great driver. The journey was beautiful to Huatulco and we passed fruit stands and wood furniture makers along the road. Polo offered to stop anywhere we wanted to buy fruit or cocos. We made a short stop at an ATM, then arrived to the marina at Huatulco. We boarded a private boat (up to 5 people) and met our captain Eduardo. Eduardo guided us to 2-3 private beaches in cove areas close to Huatulco. We snorkeled in one area and he waited for us. He quickly returned by boat to pick us up out of the water. His service and information about the area were great. I highly recommend the tour - it was a really fun day from start to finish. Everything was well timed and highly- service oriented. If you are coming to see really amazing coral and fish, unfortunately this may not be the best. Environmental impacts can be seen in the ocean. The coral was bleached and brown and the ecosystem underwater was depleted. We still enjoyed the tour and seeing the area and everyone we worked with were wonderful.

  Our guide P. made sure we had the best time! the beach was so much less crowded, calmer, and unique than the ones close to town (worth the drive). He... read more helped us with everything we needed, and showed us the best spots in the little town. The snorkeling itself was breathtaking and laid-back at the same time.

Fantastic!
