Highly recommend working with this company

We had a fantastic experience working with Maury. He speaks excellent English, was very knowledgeable about the area, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great trip. He arranged our turtle release experience and personally drove us to the site, helped us book the dolphin-watching tour, and even drove us an hour and a half to our next destination when a taxi wasn't available. Communication was always easy, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about us having a great time. Highly recommend!

Patience

Really cool experience. Make sure you're hydrated and well rested as the sun can be really strong on the water. Tour guide was really attentive and involved in locating all sea animals.

This was an unforgettable...

This was an unforgettable trip and one we will lead with when talking about Puerto Escondido. Puerto Journeys picked us up, took us to Playa Principal and then out on the water for 3 hours. They made sure we saw dolphins - we saw 1000 (not kidding). For good measure we also saw 3 turtles and 3 humpback whales! Just a pleasure to be out on the water cruising around. So yeah, highly recommend!

Highly recommended

Wonderful experience and our guide was a knowledgeable expert with lots of energy, warmth, care and passion for the sea, the anamls and his work. He was quite conscious of the extreme sound sensitivity of the whales in particular, amid the difficult situation of all the boats circling and chasing the whale pod.

Best Whale Watching Tour Ever

We LOVED our tour. Our boat captain was great. He was in constant communication with his crew to find wildlife. The capitan is fully bilingual (Spanish and English). He shared facts about the animals and was easy to talk to. He brought us to a location with a humpback whale mom and calf. We enjoyed them from a close range, but he was also respectful of their space. Then we saw a pod of dolphins. It was incredible. I swam for a while. We also stopped to admire several sea turtles and pelicans. The guide, Mario, was also great. He picked us up on time and was friendly. We enjoyed this tour so much. It's great for all ages. We later with the same company and used the guide Mario to explore the lagoon and bioluminescence.
