Our guide picked us up at our hotel and once we got to the turtle camp was really informative about the history of the project and the turtles. He answered all our questions. We didn’t have to wait long the day we were there and it was a moving experience, hoping yours survives to adult hood with turtle numbers being so low in the wild but hopefully we’ve given them a head start.

We had an excellent experience on our tour with Eco Adventures Puerto Escondido. We did the 8 hour tour to Parque Nacional Lagunas de Chacahua. Our tour guide was Juan and he was so welcoming and knowledgeable. He picked us up at our hotel and took us to the park. Our tour was supposed to be a group tour, but my wife and I were the only ones booked for that day which made the experience even better for us. Boating through the mangroves was spectacular and learning about the flora and fauna was insightful. We then went to village area near where the lagoon meets the ocean for an excellent lunch and relaxation time. Our guide then took us on a short hike to the lighthouse, El Faro de Chacahua, to check out the view from up there. He then guided us to Arco de Piedra where we climbed up on the rock to catch a beautiful sunset. After the sun went down we headed back to the village area and back onto the boat. On the boat ride back we stopped in the middle of the lagoon to experience the bioluminescence. It was pitch black and movement in the water was glowing. I was able to jump into the bioluminescent water for a swim under the night's sky. It was glorious. We then headed back to mainland, and Juan took us back to our hotel. It was a long day, but a truly worthwhile experience.

The Sunset Chacahua Experience was one of the best tours we have ever taken in all our travels. Our guide, Juan Carlos, was wonderful and informative. He shared his knowledge of the ecosystem in Chacahua, and we had a blast with him during our time with him. This experience had a little of everything: drinking from a coconut, chilling on the beach, eating the best taco I have ever had, hiking to a STUNNING beach sunset, and the boat ride through the bioluminescent lagoons was unbelievably cool. Captain Chema was immensely skilled at navigating the boat through the mangrove caves at night....What a RUSH!!! Please don't hesitate to take this tour. It is an experience we will never forget!!!!

Ernesto did a good job showing us places of interest in and around Chacahua. He speaks good English and we appreciated his willingness to help us with our Spanish.

Juan Carlos was an incredible guide with a strong fund of knowledge. Slowly coursing through the mangroves on the way to the park was just as thrilling as racing through the bioluminescent waters when heading home. A great taste of culture and nature.
Response from Host, Oct 2025

Antonio was an excellent guide! He was super friendly and accommodating. I appreciated the roadside stops to try regional food. The boat ride to and from Chacahua was magical. Thank you!
