    Top recommended tour from Huatulco

    Katherine_B, Apr 2024
    This tour was amazing. We were picked up early and had a small family join us so it was intimate. Because the tour was so long we were given an option of stopping for lunch or dinner and he took us to a beautiful beach with restaurants on the way. Along the way our guide also gave us tons of interesting information about the area and history. Plus we stopped for a chocolate tasting and had an option for tequila tasting :) The turtle release was magical, with each of us having a baby turtle in a bowl to release. The bioluminescence experience was amazing. Even on a bright/ full moon night we were able to see the sparkles due to big tent-like structures in the water. You had to take a 20min boat ride and swim in the water to get in the tent but very worth it and the water was very comfortable. Overall amazing.

    Releasing turtles and swimming with diamonds

    Alejandro was very personable and accommodating. Chocolate tasting was a surprise! The baby turtles were adorable. Swimming at night is always a treat.

    Two Magical Experiences in One Day

    Kerry_B, Apr 2024
    We spent a wonderful day with Eduardo and Gabriel, learning about the local customs, communities, sea turtles and the phenomenon of the bioluminescent plankton. We were lucky to have an evening with no moon, so we were able to experience the plankton without the tents. We could scoop the water and watch twinkling stars fall through our fingers and up our arms. It was pretty cool. Equally amazing were the stars in the sky. Absolutely beautiful. And, what is cuter than a baby sea turtle? Nothing! Long drive but if you have a guide as knowledgeable and entertaining as Eduardo, the time flies. We highly recommend this experience.

    Great trip!

    Trip was good overall. Was somewhat disappointed with Biolumminence only because it was raining and the plankton showed as white instead of neon. No fault on anyone's part just the weather. Our tour guide Benjamin was exceptional. If u get him as ur tour guide u r in luck!
