Great marine life & flexibility - This is a small boat with no bathroom or food but it was comfortable. A great ladder to get in and out of the water. Aldolpho and Jonny were nice and great at spotting marine life. We loved the flexibility of doing what we want. Saw turtles (including mating), humpbacks, dolphins and a huge school of rays (spotted eagle?) Jumping and slapping!

Great day on the water - Horacio was our captain for the day. He did a great job avoiding the crowds as we explored the bays and snorkeling areas around Huatulco.

Beautiful!! - Had a great time showing my out of town friends the beauty of Huatulco, its bays and beaches. It was a private tour so we went at our pace and were able to swim and enjoy the beautiful day. Thanks to our captain Armando.

Personal guided boat tour of the Huatulco coast - Highly recommended we avoided the crowds our skipper Adolph was fantastic as was the manager Roberto . Clear communication and were able to have the beach swimming for ourselves before others arrived . Splash out it’s worth the price for sure

Snorkeling so so rest of boat tour was great - Did the 7 bays tour. You snorkel at one spot for what was supposed to be and hour and a half but after about 40 minutes I found it dragging on as there was the same fish at the resort we were at. The rest of the tour was really good as the captain tried to find aquatic animals to see on route. He more than succeeded as we encountered dolphins first. We then spotted sea turtles which we got up and close to but not to close and got some great pictures. We then got radiod there was whales spotted so we headed in that direction. We got the pleasure of seeing a humpback and her baby and we stayed back a good distance but close enough to see them and got the famous tail flip coming out of the water. After seeing the whales we spotted a stingray that had actually jumped in the air and back into the ocean. Never got a picture as you would of had to have the camera going already to catch it. Was quite the site to see though. Lots of smaller black tunas breaking the surface as well. Went for a shore lunch. Was on the expensive side but overall worth it just for the experience. The guide we had was pretty funny and very knowledgeable. Was fun to be on the boat with. Lots of beer or other drinks if you wanted any. Overall great trip and they try very hard to find things to show you. This trip they managed to do just that.

Experience the beauty of The Huatulco coast by boat. - We had a fabulous day on the water. We did a bit of snorkeling- lots of swimming. It would have been nice to see a bit more sea life but I suppose that depends on what is happening in the ocean at the time.

Viatour delivers beer at a champagne cost. - Alberto squired us to the marina imparting local history, wildlife and ecological information. Very enjoyable mini tour. The gentlemen who received us at the marina did not speak & was not assistive walking ahead of us to boat. Oratio our boat captain provided a fun informative tour of the bays. We felt safe in his capable hands. Oratio checked in frequently ensuring we received the personal experience a private tour offers. Took us to great snorkel sites, providing time to take in bays highlights. The same gentlemen who received us at the marina silently walking ahead of us as we carried our gear to a street taxi. The taxi was non air condition (34 C) took us back to the resort. The transportation to the marina and the boat tour met the expectation of a private $450.00 cdn four hour boat tour. The non assistive non speaking escort to and from boat and a non air conditioned public cab (approx $6.00 cdn value) does not meet with our expectations of the money paid nor the Viator company.

Waste - Half the tour was being left on a beach to buy an overpriced lunch from captains friend When we were ready to go, he had left. Finally came back 45 minutes later. Not recommended.
