5.00Great boat - just the right size, not too big, not too small with good shade on a hot day (and they are all hot days in Hautulco). Great crew took good care of us all day, helped us on and off the boat, served us cold drinks, took fun photos of us at the front of the boat, snorkeled with us, English speaking guide that we could understand, tour hit all the highlights. Great efficient air conditioned transportation to and from the pier that was included. Best price - best the tour operators at our resort by far! Thanks for a fun day!
Not very good English

2.00The guide was suppose to be Bilingual and his English or Spanglish as we call it was very hard to understand so we missed a lot of what he said. He definitely catered to the Spanish speaking people on the Boat.
For snorklers yes for others no

4.00The tour was supposed to travel to the bays of Huatulco with a stop to snorkel and then lunch. We did not see the bays of Huatulco and headed west from Santa Cruz. Two hours at a beach where you paid to sit was a waste of time for non snorklers. I don’t mind stopping for a bit but this was excessive with nothing in return. Tangolunda bay we never saw or any points east of Santa cruise. I’m sure the snorkeling Was great but for anyone else disappointing
Amazing day in the water from whales to snorkeling

5.00We are traveling on the Princess Cruise Ship and decided to take this tour and we are so happy we chose it. We had the best day of our entire trip. Visited the most beautiful bay (India Bay) the water is pristine. We enjoyed snorkeling and swimming there. Then we visited a different bay for lunch which was delicious and swimming. Got to see three humpback whales (bonus)!!! Our guides were so friendly and professional. They provided us with drinks on boat and guided our snorkeling trip. They also made sure we returned on time before our cruise departure time. I highly recommend this tour. Excellent communication from before the trip and excellent service throughout the trip. Five stars all the way!!!!
Beautiful Bays

4.00The bays are beautiful and this was a great way of seeing them. As a non-Spanish speaker, I had some problems understanding explanations although the guide did use some English. I know this is to be expected in Mexico. We felt safe on the boat and in the water.
The Sights and Swimming Were Amazing! Some Other Things Could Have Been Better.

4.00Most of this tour was fantastic. I loved the first stop -- the snorkeling was just okay, but swimming in the bay was awesome! If I could go back, I would have skipped the snorkeling and spent the time just swimming. It was a really hot day and the crystal clear water was very refreshing -- I believe the bay was San Augustin. On the trip there we saw whales and followed a pod of dolphins. Someone on the boat said they saw a shark. On the way back we saw a turtle. Some of the people from the boat missed the snorkel tour because the crew only let some people know that it was starting. We luckily noticed a group from our boat walking down the beach with their snorkels (along with a couple of crew members), so we quickly ran to catch up. Those that missed the tour were pretty disappointed. But the most frustrating part of my day was the man leading the tour. He ignored my questions, he often seemed annoyed, and was at times just rude. By the time we reached Maguey Beach, I avoided him.
