The tour operator did not meet us for the tour. After many attempts to reach them by phone I did reach them through group chat but it was too late to take the trip Made for a disappointing day in Huatulco I was refunded by company but I would have preferred the excursion.

We were unable to take the tour We waited for over an hour at the ships pier just on the other side of the security gate and no one ever came.

Encuentro T who Viator partnered with on this trip did not confirm our pickup before hand and despite us being there 15 minutes early waiting, never showed up. When we contacted Encuentro, they lied and said the driver waited there and left, yet the hotel has no record of them entering the property. They told us we had 9 minutes to get to the dock on our own or we would miss the boat, which was impossible. Viator needs to choose it partnering companies better.
Meetup/departure was a bit chaotic and loud, but we knew what we had signed up for. While a smaller boat and more intimate experience would have been great, for the price this was an excellent option to get out on the water and see the huatulco area. Staff was kind and helpful.

Hello Jorge_V Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We are very pleased you had a great time with us! I´m really happy you enjoyed your tour! Hope to see you back soon! Muchas gracias!
Beautiful to spend a full day by boat visiting this wonderful coast of Huatulco, crystal clear and temperate waters, beautiful reef on view and with googles, sun and sand that revitalize. Just be careful when purchasing a tour, there are packages of 5 to 10 bays, compare benefits vs prices. Don’t buy it the first time you get off the plane, especially the agencies associated with the abusive taxi monopoly at the airport. Ask at your Hotel and the Marina to get a better experience for your money and time.
Hola Damary, Agradecemos sus comentarios, seria tan amable de proporcionar su codigo de reserva, ya que en nuestros registros no aparece. Este tour solamente puede reservarse a través de esta plataforma y no contamos con ninguna especie de punto de venta directo en Aeropuerto. Muchas Gracias y Saludos
Very good ride. Nice places. Bad cost for renting an umbrella. 200 pesos is exaggerated. They should carry an antiemetic for those who are nauseating or vomiting
Hola efr, Nos da mucho gusto que hayas disfrutado tu tour, haremos llegar tu recomendacion a los operadores. Esperamos verte muy pronto. Saludos
There were different boats doing these tours . Our bay tour was with Amstar . They did an English speaking tour which was very nice ! All Americans were on this tour due to the language barrier so this was wonderful . Our boat though was like a big fishing boat . The tour guides were really great . What most people on this tour with us agreed upon , it was too long - we went out way too far and our boat has to go very slowly and there were BIG waves we had to cut through . I was kind of afraid at some points about tipping over sideways on our way back . We got to snorkel at two bays . The first one was hard to enjoy . You get out in water , never land - and you could not see much . The water was cloudy and the waves were too big to allow it . We stayed there an hour - bring money if you want anything like a rented beach umbrella or a soda at the shoreline which is also pretty tough to get to . Waves were just bad . We stayed about an hour at each bay . The second bay was amazing . You could see so many things and the water was beautiful . We saw an octopus !! We all loved this place and it had a great little beach area . We all said , they could cut this tour in half instead of making it a 6 hour excursion and just take people to the second bay which is half as far away ! The views were beautiful around a the first bays but after you’ve seen them for a good hour on this slow , big and rocking boat , you’re ready to get off . We had three people get sea sick and vomit . So take your Dramamine and I suggest the patches that go behind your ears ! Again the tour guides were great and helped you see fish while snorkeling !!
Hi Viks, I'm sorry you had a rough sea day, unfortunately, this is beyond our control, nevertheless, I hope you expend a great day and enjoyed the tour I will share your feedback with our operator. Hope to see you soon All best
of 9 bays, the walk is to see from afar 7 of them, in one of them we have snorkeling equipment, fins, lifeguards, they took us to see fish, for the scrambled sea those we saw were very few, in another bay they took us to eat, in the early hour 1 of the afternoon, we waited to eat in the town of La Crucita. Another day we returned by land to the delivery bay, where if we saw a good amount of fish in the course of an hour.
Estimado Jose, Tus comentarios nos hacer crecer, gracias por compartir tu experiencia con nosotros, lamentamos que no hayas podido ver muchos peces en el tour :( Esperamos verte pronto! Saludos
This was a great tour, would recommend it. Staff was very friendly and informative. We all had a great time! I recommend paying the extra $10 to do the snorkeling, the water is so clear and you can see many types of fish.
