Overview

What makes this tour unique is the possibility of discovering seven different bays in Huatulco, each with its own beauty and attractions. The tour includes stops at iconic places such as "La Entrega" beach, known for its crystal-clear waters, and the impressive blowhole "Bufadero". In addition, the tour takes you through the waters of the Huatulco National Park, where you can witness the incredible spectacle of dolphins, turtles, and even whales during the migration season. The tour also offers cultural experiences, such as learning the legend of "La India" beach, and the opportunity to snorkel in a pristine beach with expert guides. Finally, the tour concludes with a tasting of the famous seafood-stuffed pineapple in the Maguey bay and a visit to the unique stone face in the Órgano bay.

Itinerary

  • Santa Cruz Bay

    The bay of Santa Cruz was the most important port in New Spain at the beginning of the 16th century. We will tell the legend of the Holy Cross and how the English and Dutch pirates appropriated the place for almost 2 centuries.

    15 minutes

  • Playa La Entrega (Pass By)

    It is a historic beach where in 1831 after being betrayed in Acapulco, the president of the Mexican republic, General Vicente Guerrero was handed over to the military loyal to the authors of the coup and taken near the city of Oaxaca to be tried and shot. This beach is also known for its crystal clear waters and for its coral reef.

  • Huatulco National Park

    Entering the waters of the Huatulco National Park we will see one of the largest blowholes in the world known as the "Bufadero" where we will have time to take photos or videos. In the national park it is forbidden to build in concrete, nothing but "palapas or cabins" with exceptional permission. All the next 4 bays that we will see are within the limits of the national park.

    3 hours

  • Bahia Maguey y el Organo

    The first two bays that we will see within the national park are the "Organo" and the "Maguey". The virgin bay of the "Organ" is famous for an incredible stone face that nature made herself named "La Cara Mizteca" The bay of "Maguey" has its name from the green color of its waters, similar to the leaves of the cactus of the same name, with which we distil Tequila and Mezcal. On the way we will pass without stopping and on the way back we will stop for 2 hours to enjoy very fresh seafood at the restaurant recommended by your guide. The specialty of the coast is pineapple stuffed with seafood. First cut a pineapple in two, remove the pulp and fill it with a bechamel sauce with seafood to your liking, after distributing cheese on top it is passed into a wood oven to gratin it. Another specialty is the "four by four". Huatulco is a good place for shrimp that are 16 in this dish, cooked in four different ways. Also dishes with meats.

    2 hours

  • Bahia de Cacaluta

    Place where they filmed Mexican movies like "Y tu mama tambien" and several commercials for television. The beach seen from the sky looks like a heart or a bird flying according to your own imagination. In front of this island is the island of Cacaluta where deer are sometimes seen swimming from the beach to eat. This bay is part of the national park.

    6 minutes

  • Chachacual

    Chachacual is the name given to the constructions made of four small trunks and a roof of palm leaves to provide shade, by the turtle fishermen before this activity was prohibited. Today it is a virgin beach, part of the national park where they will practice snorkeling. Locals from the neighboring bay of San Agustín rent umbrellas and sell coconuts, beers, piña colada and other drinks. Depending on the number of people, two or three certified guides will give you a class on how to use the equipment, they will accompany you and show you a magnificent coral plate and all these colored fish that live around. Returning from the snorkeling activity they will have some thirty minutes to rest or have a cold beer. They will return to the Maguey Bay in a journey of about 40 minutes where they can enjoy their food. We will remember that in Mexico since the end of the 70's turtle fishing is prohibited and it is an animal protected by law.

Fantastic Adventure! Full of Sun and relaxation. Food, nature, culture and natural beauty. Hard to beat for the price.

Published on Dec, 2024

Very welcoming crew from transfer to onboard. English explanations all along making us comfortable. Beautiful trip.

Money well spent

Published on Dec, 2024

Wonderful crew and comfortable boat made for a great day on the water. Get the snorkel gear, take a swim, enjoy a nice meal on the beach, and takes LOTS of photos.

Great Day Out!

Published on Dec, 2024

This trip was exactly as advertised. Picked up on time from our hotel and taken to the marina for snorkelling equipment rental (optional — we brought our own). Then fees were collected (5.50 Pesos per person for the harbor tax and 60 Pesos pp for National Park entry. We cruised by some amazing (and empty) beaches and passed quite close to parts of the shoreline to see attractions like a natural blowhole. After about an hour, we made our first stop to go in the water. We were surprised that such a large boat could make it to within a couple of feet of the beach. We chose to swim by ourselves, but most chose to swim in a group. We had two hours for this stop. An umbrella with two upright plastic chairs was 250 Pesos (recommended since there is no other shade). Drink and souvenir vendors passed by, but they were polite if you said “no gracias”. Our second stop was for lunch. Prices were reasonable and the restaurant was under a big palapa to shield from the sun. On the trip back, we stayed in deeper water to see if we could spot some wildlife and we saw a couple of turtles, some schools of fish and one flying fish. All in all, a fun way to spend the day!

Affordable Introduction to the Beauty of the Bays of Huatulco

Published on Nov, 2024

This is a great experience for the whole family, young and old. The guide, ours was Raciel “Razo”, provides information on the landscape and historic importance 7 of the 9 bays of Huatulco. He expertly transitions from Spanish to English in providing the information. The trip includes two different beach stops. If you are new to snorkeling, the team provides excellent instruction on the activity and ensures safety requiring the use of life-jackets. Experienced divers/snorkelers may want to skip this activity and enjoy the beach under the shade an umbrella with a drink of choice in hand. This first stop is approximately 2 hours. You’ll need pesos (bring more than you think you’ll need). The second stop is at another beach with restaurants for lunch. For here you can pay in pesos or use your credit card. We had pulpo a la diabla (spicy octopus) and piña de mariscos en horno de leña (a creamy seafood stew in a half of a scooped out pineapple topped with local cheese and cooked over a wood fire). Both were outstandingly delicious and ample portions. We could have just ordered one entree and split between the two of us. Additional reminder note- bring more pesos than you’ll think you’ll need. There are a lot of little costs along the way, some obligatory and others optional and please tip the crew and locals that provide services. They really appreciate and depend on these extras.

A GREAT EXPERIENCE
