Full-day boat tour in Huatulco with national-park bays, Bufadero blowhole, snorkeling at Chachacual, and seafood lunch. Pickup included.
“Decent tour for what it is. It’s a LONG day and you get a decent overview of some of the bays BUT the extra costs really add up. 250 pesos per person for snorkelling gear if you don't have your own. 70 pesos per person to enter the port and get a national park wristband. 300 pesos at Playa la India to rent an umbrella and two rickety chairs. 80 pesos beers. This is a two hour stop and the snorkelling off the beach is decent and easy. The next two hour stop is at Playa Maguey - a very crowded beach that is best described as a tourist trap.…”

Visit Copalitilla Magic Waterfalls from Huatulco with hotel pickup, an easy-to-find driver, swimming pools, and a jungle hike.
“Long ride on a very windey road. Nice vehicle to ride in. Enjoyed the waterfalls very much. At the last waterfall there was zip line which I tried to go on but was told I needed 50 peso to go on it. Our tour never mentioned this was an option so therefore I didn’t bring any money into the waterfall hike and I wasn’t going all the way back to the vehicle to get money to go on it. That was disappointing but otherwise a good tour. The buffet was very good.”
Walk La Crucecita with a local guide for a 3-hour food tour with enough tastings for a full meal, stories, and Oaxaca drinks.

“The ridiculous mask 😷 mandate rules. It was for show. Made no sense at all. We were outside!!!! Stupidest thing I’ve ever witnessed. Cash grab every time we turned around. We went off on our own. Until it was time to return to boat. Life jacket rental was not necessary, plenty of them in the boat. It was nice to see a Whale and all the bays.”

Here are some points they shared with me- - Breezy charming kitchen and dining area - Made the most delicious tacos and salsas and even passion fruit margaritas and tortillas (learning about the history of tortilla-making as well their family traditions) -Adjacent to Alfredo and family’s home making it a familial experience. - Alfredo knowledgeable, warm, and multi-lingual/cultural- A real winner!”

Thrill-seeking canyoning near Huatulco with small-group guidance, wet-suit style gear, and a 6-hour day of scrambling, wading, and lunch.
“If you have good balance and know how to swim without a lifejacket (for short periods) you will enjoy this excursion when the water levels are low in the winter season (January). Note: I can’t speak to the excursion when the water levels are high. With low water levels you mostly walk on dry and wet rocks in water 1 to 2 feet deep; and swim in water 4 to 10+ feet deep (but swim only for short periods). You follow a meandering river bed in a canyon in the back woods. Bring a waterproof cover for your phone or camera, or you will want to leave it in the…”

“Edgar Escobar of Lamby Tours was our guide and what a job he did. Edgar was outgoing, friendly and entertaining. His English is excellent. He has a great knowledge of the local area, both current and historical, as well as an understanding of numerous local herbal and traditional health treatments. As we made our way up the mountain towards the Falls Edgar kept us well informed about the villages that we passed through, how the people lived, the history of the area and what to expect at the next stop. There was one major stop on the way at a local vendors’ market where they did a good job of…”
