Itinerary

  1. Stop 1

    Passing by

    As you begin your yacht tour of bays, one of the first attractions you'll enjoy is Santa Cruz Bay, Huatulco's most iconic bay.

    From the boat, you can observe:

    Huatulco's main pier, where international cruise ships arrive;

    Santa Cruz beach, with its golden sand and calm waters, where there is also a chapel;

    beaches such as "La Entrega" and "Yerbabuena".

  2. Stop 2

    Passing by

    During your tour on the yacht, you'll be able to see La Entrega Beach, a popular attraction in the destination known for its crystal-clear emerald-green waters and calm waves.

    Inclusive, recreational beach with greater historical wealth.

    The name La Entrega beach comes from an important story, as it was here that General Vicente Guerrero, one of the heroes of Mexico's independence, was betrayed and handed over to his enemy forces.

  3. Stop 3

    Passing by

    Located within the majestic Huatulco National Park, Cacaluta Bay is one of the most impressive spots on the tour.

    From the yacht, you'll be amazed by the natural beauty of this pristine bay, famous for its heart shape.

    From the boat, you can admire:

    The long white sand beach, bordered by tropical jungle and completely virgin, which makes it look like an untouched paradise;

    The iconic heart-shaped view of Cacaluta, visible when you zoom out a little, makes it a bay recognized even for having appeared in films such as "Y Tu Mamá También" and "Juana La Cubana."

    You can choose this bay as one of the options for swimming and walking on the beach; you'll just need to coordinate with the captain.

  4. Chachacual

    Passing by

    During the yacht tour through the bays, one of the most special attractions is Chachacual Bay, a true paradise hidden within Huatulco National Park. Accessible only by sea, this bay offers a completely disconnected experience, surrounded by nature.

    This area was formerly inhabited by Zapotec and Mixtec indigenous groups, who used the bays as fishing refuges and transit points on their coastal trade routes.

    From the boat, you can observe:

    a wide, quiet bay surrounded by tropical vegetation and green mountains;

    the virgin beach, where peace and natural beauty reign.

    You can choose this bay as one of the options for swimming, snorkeling, and walking on the beach; you'll just need to coordinate with the captain.

  5. Stop 5

    1 h 30 min

    It is recommended to choose this beach for a stop. La India Beach, designated by National Geographic as one of the 10 most beautiful beaches in the world, is located within Chachacual Bay, in the heart of Huatulco National Park.

    The beach takes its name from an ancient local legend that tells of a young indigenous woman who took refuge in this area to escape the hustle and bustle and find peace. Today, Playa "La India" remains a place of pure tranquility, as it is only accessible by sea, keeping it protected and free from urbanization.

    If you decide to visit this place, you'll have the opportunity to walk along the beach, swim, snorkel, and enjoy refreshing drinks like piña coladas, coconut flakes, or micheladas prepared by locals.

  6. Stop 6

    2 hours

    It is recommended to choose this Bay for a stop.

    Known as Huatulco's giant natural pool, it is characterized by calm waves and the agave-green color of its waters.

    Maguey Bay owes its name to the maguey plant, very common in the region and a symbol of Oaxacan culture.

    If you choose to visit this place, you can walk along its golden sand, swim, and taste the delicious food cooked here in a wood-fired oven, such as pineapple stuffed with seafood, grilled fish, or some seafood specialty.

  7. Stop 7

    Passing by

    This is the smallest of Huatulco's bays. Within it, you'll find the pristine beach "El Órgano," certified as a "Clean Sustainable Beach" and also holding the international Blue Flag certification, making it a conservation beach recognized for its quality and environmental preservation. Here we will observe the famous stone face or Mixtec face, a natural rock formation.

    You can choose this bay as one of the options for swimming, snorkeling, and walking on the beach; you'll just need to coordinate with the captain.
