5.00What a great tour! We requested that we start 2 hours earlier so we could make it back to the ship in plenty of time and we were accommodated (much appreciated!) Our tour guide Gonzalo was great! We had a great time with him and he shared lots of information on the history, area, culture, etc. The turtle release was all that could be expected, watching those little guys head toward the ocean! An unforgettable experience! We would definitely recommend this tour!

5.00We loved our private tour to see the baby turtles get released and visit the crocodile island. The deer, monkey, and iguanas were such a highlight for my entire family of all ages!! The kids especially loved it. The baby turtle release was a once in a lifetime experience! We couldn’t recommend this tour and our amazing bilingual tour guide Edgar anymore! He is the best!
Awesome Day!

5.00Alejandro was an absolutely amazing guide!! We have taken a lot of tours over the years in a lot of countries, and he was probably the most knowledgeable and engaged guide we’ve had! If you are on the fence about booking this tour, do it! We are so very glad that we did. What a great experience! I kinda want to move to Hualtco now! We’ll definitely be back!
