Would go again - They took the photos for us which was amazing!!! We say 4 Brydle whales…including the first ever Morher and baby ever recorded in the ocean there. The team was friendly, patient, and informative. The small tour was very well done and nice to only have 6 people on the tour at the time.

A Day To Remember - This was an incredible experience. Peter and Tito were wonderful, knowledgeable hosts that made the time fly by! We saw numerous turtles, the got into a pod of 300-400 dolphins, so many around us you didn't know where to look. Then along came a humpback whale to join the party which made the moment even more memorable. Capped it off with a great snorkeling experience. A day we will never forget

Incredible experience for people who love and respect wildlife and want to go where the larger tour boats don't go and see what - Saw mother & baby humpback whales, Brydes whales, sailfish, flying marlins, dolphins, sea turtles and schools of fish

Informative and best trip on the sea - Best experience and staff. Very informative and skilled organization. Boat was very comfortable and the marine life amazing! Saw so many dolphins- common and spotted, and the crew very excited to spot an orca! Loved watching the giant manta ray. Go for a snorkel or a swim in a bay, dependent on weather conditions. Highlight of my visit to the coast!

Giant manta rays, humpback and turtles!! - Amazing trip. Turtles, humpback whales and giant manta rays. Snorkeling was great in a secluded area. Peter and crew were knowledgeable and we learned a lot. Would go again!!

Professionalism and integrity on full display! - Unfortunately, shortly after getting out of the marina, the wind picked up, and the waves made it difficult to travel and spot wildlife. Kudos to the operators for making the call to call off the adventure. We never felt unsafe, but they didn't think we were going to be able to get what we paid for due to the conditions. They could have just taken us into a bay to go snorkelling, but the organization's integrity was evident when they turned back and offered us the option of rebooking or claiming a full refund. We would have rebooked, but the winds never subsided for the last 2 days of our trip. We had the refund within 24 hours of requesting it. We will definitely be booking this trip again when we return to Huatulco. Even though the tour was called off, we still learned a lot from the captain and guide. As a bonus - on the return trip, we spotted a whale, which was my fiance's first!

Huatulco tour with Tito, Isabel and Anna - What to say? The tour was amazing. We did not expect to see so many dolphins and whales. Many thanks to the entire crew: Tito, Isabel and Anna. We also could hear the whales communicate each other. A lot of emotions!

No words to describe this awesome tour! - We had an outstanding tour, saw so many dolphins and whales, we didn’t know where to look at some point! The crew: Tito, Isabelle and Anna were awesome, providing lots of details on the animals species and the Huatulco National Park. It’s nice to see organizations caring for the environment and biodiversity. Very pleased to have encouraged such enterprise. Keep up the great work!

Wonderful experience! - We had an unforgettable tour with Peter and Tito on deck! The two keep a good lookout for marine animals, which allowed us to see many many dolphins. Even a humpback whale in the distance, but it quickly dived. With a microphone on board, we were able to follow his chants underwater. I will never forget this event! I also found it great that scientific data was collected at the same time. I would go back any time!

Whales! Dolphins and more! - Excellent. Saw Whales, dolphins, some snorkelling and saw the coastline of cliffs and beaches. 4 hours of fun. My only recommendation would be for the guide to give a synopsis of the itinerary as we leave the dock so you know what to expect and when. Knowledgeable staff.
