An excellent whale and dolphin watching experience. - My wife and I have visited Huatulco twice now and we just booked our 3rd visit for January 2025. In our previous visits we went on 2 excursions each year with Oceanico Huatulco. The whale watching was awesome. We got up close with humpback whales and dolphins. On 2 of the excursions we also saw newborn humpback whales estimated to be only 3 weeks old. Along with the humpback whales we also saw dolphins swimming along side the humpbacks. The team of Peter, Mariano, Maria, and the experienced captain provided such wonderful experiences. We were so close to these beautiful creatures. Oceanico Huatulco is so knowledgeable and passionate about the cetaceans in this area. We learned so much about all the marine life. We also had the opportunity to snorkel in 2 of the beautiful bays. I highly recommend Oceanico Huatulco. You will have an awesome experience!

Glad I Went! - Whether you are an avid expert, or just curious novice when it comes to learning about the marine creatures of all varieties, and also the birds that depend on the ocean to sustain themselves, Peter and his assistant guide are well versed on the species found off of the shores of Huatulco. During our time out on the water with him we were literally surrounded by a pod of dolphins, just magnificent! We saw so many turtles, I lost count! We even had a chance to go snorkeling. Excellent experience! Highly recommended!

Professional, Educational Exceptional Whale Watching Tour - From the moment I reached to schedule the tour, I was greeted with kindness and all my questions were answered. And I had a lot of questions! The tour was 2 hours, and we arrived 10 minutes early. The biologist and boat captain informed us there was unusual exciting activity happening immediately and so we set out a little early. Within 12 minutes, we were watching one of the most rare sights on the Oaxacan coast - Sperm Whales. We were educated about them and also the other species of whales. There was an underwater sound system on board allowing us to hear the communication of whales. The captain and biologist were so excited themselves, emotional, professional and truly shared with us their enthusiasm for the jobs. I can not say enough about the experience. We had children and adults - both English and Spanish speakers.

Awesome Marinelife Viewing - The 9 bays of Huatulco are so beautiful and visitors include many species of rays, turtles, dolphins and whales. Oceanico Huatulco is the best option to go explore the bays and marine species. Highly recommended!
