What people are saying about Huatulco

Firstly we double booked accidentally and were not aware until tour company contacted me. Credit issued without question. Excellent event with very friendly crew. Things were explained in spanish and english even though we were only two that did not speak spanish. Water and other beverages provided to keep us hydrated. Beautiful beach for snorkeling while others rested under umbrellas (200 pesos). Other larger boats do similar cruise but I felt this one was probably more personal. Being smaller group allowed for more time in water and quicker service at restaurant we stopped at. Very informative and professionally run tour. Very evironmentally concious. Bonus sighting of whales and dolphins. Captain shut engine off and let us sit and watch. Fifty people did not make a sound for several minutes while watching. Great day!!
