Escape the crowds and enjoy a thrilling ocean adventure to see dolphins, turtles (and in winter whales) before exploring the beautiful bays of the Huatulco National Park and snorkeling the reefs. There are no other tours like this in Huatulco! Our crew of bilingual Naturalists first take you offshore where the dolphins, sea turtles (and December through March, whales) can be found. Most trips we are the only boat exploring offshore! Then we cruise back to the coast of the Huatulco National Park and the famous bays. Time and weather permitting we will navigate through the National Park bays including: Chachacual, La India, Cacaluta, Maguey and Organo. We typically stop for guided snorkeling at 2 of the healthiest reefs, away from the crowds. There is a maximum of 12 guests to ensure everyone a fun and personable experience.
