We had a great day! Mani arranged a 34 ft boat for my wife and me. He, the captain, and the mate looked after everything. We toured the bays, caught some fish, followed turtle tracks to their nests, swam in calm waters with no one else around, and had a great lunch on the beach.
It’s a big, 2 decked catamaran that holds about 200 people. There were about 100 on our excursion. The MC spent the entire trip speaking Spanish (only) , very loudly, the entire time the boat was moving. We stopped to snorkel. You can rent snorkeling gear if needed. You have the option to go to the beach instead of snorkeling if you want. That stop is about an hour. After snorkeling they stop at a spot with a long beach and a string of authentic Mexican restaurants on the sand under tent roofs. Bring at least 400 pesos per person if you want to eat. It’s a long day so you’ll likely be hungry. That stop is about 2 hours. They shuttle you from the catamaran to the beach in smaller boats that hold about 20 people at a time (2 boats). It goes quickly but you need to be mobile enough to get in and out. There was nothing ‘wrong’ with the Excursion. It was a pretty typical Mexican catamaran ride in my experience. It just wasn’t very interesting. Other than 2 sea turtles mating we didn’t see any other notable wildlife.
I was very disappointed that this tour was almost entirely in Spanish when it was advertised as English. The organization was great, but I learned very little since all the explanations were in Spanish.
The catamaran was fun!! The snorkeling was also fun to do! Bahia San Agustin was beautiful and the food was amazing!!
Great atmosphere. Plenty of water to fo around. The first level had snacks for sale such (Popsicles, fruit). Worth it.
I definitely recommend this tour! I’ve been twice now and both times was amazing. A must do in Huatulco. The only reason I docked a star is because there are a tonne of extra costs (which they are transparent about) but it adds up so it’s about quadruple the price you see on Trip Advisor. The only options for food and drinks are the highest prices you’ll find in Huatulco, more expensive than the high end restaurants here. Entrees at the beach side restaurant in Maguey Bay are $500+ pesos plus appetizers around $300-$350 pesos, drinks are minimum $150 for a cocktail. Also the guy collecting the money for the beach chairs (which are $250 pesos) tried to tip us off too. I’ve never had folks from Huatulco try to rip me off except on this trip. But otherwise really incredible experience, worth paying a higher price for food. Bring cash for the beach/snorkeling part, the restaurant at Maguay takes card and includes a tip in the price already. I recommend rash guard for anyone who burns easily, you’re in the sun A LOT on this trip at peak UV times! Get the seafood stuffed pineapple dish! It’s what they’re known for!
Great tour. Stopped at one bay for snorkelling, swimming, relaxing on the beach or just staying on the boat. Then on to St Augustine. The staff looked after young and elderly when getting off the boat into the panga and into the beach and back to the boat. Great excursion
We really enjoyed this boat trip, it was nicely timed and took us to two different beautiful beaches where there were great snorkeling spots but also just clear water and very nice vibes. The boat was well equipped, the staff offered free soft drinks regularly and there were options to purchase beers and cocktails on board too. We got to see some humpback whales during the trip which was magical. There was an English speaking guide on the boat and everything seems well organised including our hotel pickup. Probably one of the best boat trips we have been on (and we have been on a fair few!)
Well I would have put a 5 but very disappointed that the speaker spoke in Spanish . . There was a 1/4 of the boat which were English and the was 1 employee that spoke some English . He should of put us all together as the Spanish speaker told storeys of the bays ect and when the whales came we didn’t know where to look as in Spanish again very disappointed
Many thanks to a lovely Hispanic lady, Elizabeth Lopez, and her extended family who took care of us non-Spanish speakers. The crew were friendly but didn’t have anyone who spoke fluent English.
