Do it! Best boat tour around - Fun & informative! Stunning views, snorkeling & swimming was magical, just make sure you aren't hungover when you go on this tour 😉 Choppy waves + hangover = no bueno

Outstanding ocean eco experience with superb guides - This small group (7 people plus 3 crew) ocean eco excursion was outstanding. We saw humpbacks, including the first baby whale sighting of the season, many turtles, and a pod of spotted dolphins. Snorkelled a beautiful reef in a secluded bay in the national park. Lots of fish of all kinds. Followed a humpback and got pictures of the underside of the tail which uniquely identifies the whale. Guides Peter (marine biologist) and Tony were very knowledgeable, informative and personable. Peter posted high quality still pictures, drone and under water videos of the whales and dolphins that we saw at no extra cost. There was no upselling. Trip lasted 4.5 hours and exceeded all expectations. Best excursion we've ever been on. Well worth the price of admission. Hotel pick up is not included. You have to make your own way to the marina and back.

Don’t miss! Great experience to see local sea life. - Excellent experience! Both Peter and Tito were outstanding. We saw so much sea life and learned so much about the Bays in Huatulco. I got seasick and they were very kind and accommodating. The spot they picked to snorkel was fantastic as well. The gear we rented was top notch and better than what we rented snorkeling in Hawaii. I highly recommend!!

LOVE Oceanico Huatulco! - If you’re looking for a bay booze cruise this is not for you. If, however, you want to spend 4 hours learning about the region’s marine biology, seeing turtles, dolphins, sailfish and having some fantastic snorkeling, you came to the right spot. Peter’s awesome (along with Capitán Tito) and I recommend this tour highly! They offer private and non-private tours. We did the non-private and it was still just our family of four and two other couples (tour is 8 max) so plenty intimate and lots of opportunity to listen, learn and experience all the awesomeness.

Small group size, big adventure! - Loved our experience with Tony and Tito! Kind and knowledgeable guides, learned a lot about the humpback whales, and even had the opportunity to see a mom, calf and escort! Also saw lots of dolphins and sea turtles on our boat tour. Really enjoyed getting to snorkel and experience the beautiful reef and it's many fish inhabitants. Nice small group size which my family and I thoroughly enjoyed.

Great tour, even better views! - Tony and Tito were great guides for our tour, very kind and knowledgeable. Really enjoyed learning more about the whales, dolphins and turtles of the area, and getting the opportunity to see them out in their habitat. We were lucky enough to see a mom, calf and escort humpback whale group, many many dolphins and a number of turtles. Really loved the snorkeling and had a great time seeing all of the different fish species among the reef. Tour start location was easy to find, and our guides called us a taxi when we arrived back. Would definitely recommend!
