The turtles were worth it - This was a great experience. The tour guide had a different itinerary than what we signed up for. This is mostlikely due to it being a Sunday. But we were able to add the two things that meant the most to us and had a great time. The guide was new but did his best to translate for us.

Beach day - It was a lot of fun. The beach was nice. The boat tour was fun. I do recommend you save some room to eat at the beach because they only let you use the chairs/tables with the purchase of a meal.

Buy with civitatis for turtle included - The only reason this is getting four stars is because of JOSE our tour guide!!! He is really the most awesome tour guide I’ve had!!!! He was so caring when the company insisted I pay for the turtle release instead of honoring their word. José took very good care of us and gave us enough time to really feel relaxed. Jose took us to the coffee tasting, chocolate tasting, have alight breakfast, plenty of time of the boat ride and looking for whales. Now it’s not always guaranteed since it’s Mother Nature but the boat ride was awesome you can even buy drinks and take them with you. I had the pleasure of also having José as a tour guide to another tour and he was just as caring. Tips: in order to receive the free turtle to release you must book directly with Paraiso huatulco in which they add 3% to the price or through civitatis tour company which is cheaper. If you book through Viator you will need to pay 250 mx. which isn’t bad but I spoke to a representative she explained what was included and than even recommended I book through Viator if I felt more comfortable. Also they don’t pick you up from your hotel due to the festivities but at night when we are getting dropped off I couldn’t comprehend why they won’t drop us off closer. On this tour or to etla. Either way Jose made this experience an unforgettable and the hiccups with the company weren’t his fault.

More torture than pleasure! - This tour promises what it didn't delivered. It says that it takes 2:30 minutes to get to the beach, but it was 3:30, so we spend 7 hours on the road. What for? It was promised that we will have an opportunity to participate in turtles rescue, but tour guide said we don't have a time for it. Instead we spend 2 hours on the beach in 90 F. Beach itself has very strong tide so there are cables for people to hold for. No way to relax and enjoy the sea. There are many good beaches around. Don't understand why they choose the worse beach in my life. Only good thing was one hour boat tour, but 7 hours in uncomfortable van for one hour boat tour? Whole thing was more torture than pleasure!
