Huatulco's Breathtaking Bays: 7-Hour Coastal Escape & Odyssey

Great trip up the coast from Santa Cruz to see the beautiful coastline and fabulous sandy bays. Had a 2 hr stop at farthest bay to snorkel or enjoy the beach and swim. For $300 pesos you could rent 2 chairs and an umbrella for your time on the beach as there is very little shade there. On return we once again stopped for 2 hours at a different bay and could purchase lunch at one of many restaurants or just enjoy the beach. You did have to pay to rent fins, mask and snorkel ($250 pesos/pp) as we well as an entry fee to harbour ($5.50pesos/pp) and nature conservation fee ($60 pesos/pp). This was all explained beforehand and in their write ups on TripAdvisor so it was not a surprise to us. The day lasted about 7.5 hours from the time of pickup to dropoff back at our hotel. Overall a very pleasant day and would recommend it.

As the only 2 non Spanish speakers on the tour the guide always translated for us and even translated for us during our excursion. The tour was great. The explanations were great. The water and fish were plentiful. The food was out of this world at the restaurant they suggested.

Great time. Fun, family friendly day! My 5 and 8 year old had a great time. Be prepared to spend extra for umbrella chairs, lunch and taxes and fees at the dock. Overall, great day trip!

Good value, though the drinks on boat were very limited. You can bring ypur own. Knowledgeable guide.

It is a good experience, our guide Victor was very nice and patient. He was informing us the all time with great attitude. One of the things I didn't like is the extra cost of $60 pesos per person in Bahia (can't remember what was it for). The other extra costs are optional (starting with snorkeling equipment, photos taken in the boat, umbrella/chairs, other drinks or eating at suggested restaurant).

The crew was very nice and explained the history of the huatulco bahias. We had a great experience snorkeling and enjoyed the views.

Great excursion! They pick you up at your hotel/resort. Drop off at the marina, you can rent life vest and snorkel gear at the marina. You do have to pay $5.50 pesos for port fee then another $16.00 pesos for the national park beach. The boat is spacious and the guide is bilingual. They take your photo so bring extra money or credit card because the pictures are great! We got to see turtles and dolphins swimming by our boat. Once you are on the beach they offer chair rentals and drinks so don't leave your pesos on the boat. You get 20 mins to get settled and then Charlie teaches you how to snorkel. You get around 40mins to an hour to snorkel. Lots of great fish! Bring your nano cameras! Then you load back up for lunch at a different beach. Lunch was delicious! I strongly recommend you bring pesos for rentals, fees, drinks off the boat, lunch, and souvenirs. We headed back around 3pm. Great experience!

Our tour guide was great and the water was divine! Absolutely recommend for you to try it. We didn't do the snorkeling portion because we had already booked that for another day. Because of this we were able to enjoy the beach water for about 2 hours. FYI it really was an all day thing - from 9 am pick up to drop off back to air bnb.

Great excursion guides were amazing They took great pictures on boat and while snorkeling. Crew went above and beyond to make sure you were comfortable

Lots of sun. Great beaches. Snorkeling was very fun. Our guide taught granddaughters how to dive. He was very informative and helpful
