Lovely beach day in Huatulco - This tour was fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed my day on this tour. All of the staff that were there were VERY helpful and friendly. They made us feel safe on the boat and especially while snorkeling in a strong current. Just like anything there are some pros and cons. The tour was supposed to be in English and it was actually in Spanish. I speak okay Spanish so it was fine but for those that don’t speak it, it could be challenging. I’m not fully sure if we did everything in the itinerary. I was expecting to see more than we did. However, overall it was a great experience for me as a beach lover and as someone who loves snorkeling. We got to see some beautiful fish so in the end it was fully worth it.

BOAT Tour was the BEST - I had a great time!! I highly recommend doing the tour because you get to see so much of Huatulco. Everyone working in and off the boat was helpful and friendly. Decided to do the snorkeling (extra cost), and it was worth it. As a non swimmer, my guide made me feel safe and was patient with me.

Personal opinion - Super friendly, very good punctuality, they should move the boats away from the snorkeling area, the fish will disappear. Improve microphone audio quality

7 bay cruise - Enjoyed the cruise, the guide was very personable getting everyone involved. Members of the crew were extremely accommodating. The views of the bays from the ocean were exceptional. Stopping for photos of light house, blow hole, face rock, and we saw dolphins! ,

Fun - Excellent service, just as a suggestion regarding places to eat, I think that if tourists should select where to go, from then on everything is excellent

Lovely day on water - We very much enjoyed this day trip. My comments are be prepared to pay for umbrella/chair rental on first beach, 250 pesos which we found to be rather a lot but guy collecting would not retreat from that cost though we spoke to others later on our boat who paid less. Restaurant we were guided to on second stop had very little for we vegans to choose, guacamole or a small plate of French fries, both 150 pesos or $12.50 which we also found to be expensive and not particularly appetizing. Again trip was very nice and staff super; however, had we known forgoing would have pressed re umbrella payment (did leave a bit of a bad taste) and would have brought lunch for ourselves on second point.

More of a local flavour of tour than a 'tourist party boat.' - Smaller boat experience with approx 30 persons leaving earlier from the marina than the big boats (9:30 instead of 10:30.) This gets you out onto the water and the beaches before the crowds of other boats. We almost had the first beach all to ourselves for the first hour. Cold pop & bottled water were given out multiple times on our trip and all the crew were friendly and helpful. About 80% of our fellow passengers were Mexican tourists so major descriptions happened in Spanish with abbreviated info in English immediately after. We didn't have a problem with this as I understand a lot of Spanish, at least to get the gist of the descriptions, and explained more to my husband after the English commentary. I would suggest doing a bit of pre-trip research into the beaches' names & history so you get a fuller experience if you only speak English. Don't let that stop you from taking this Paraiso Huatulco tour as it is more of a private, personalized experience and your fellow passengers are more interested in the tour itself and the destinations and experiences than with being a loud crowd of 'partiers.' Our fellow passengers were friendly & kind and a few of the couples that snorkeled shared their experiences with us and we all looked at the "ocean-life spotter" laminated card and discussed what they saw. A refreshing snack was included on the first beach - a cup filled with spears of cucumber and jicama dosed if you wished with a slightly spicy sauce. On the second beach where you can have lunch (we brought our own because I have celiac disease and needed to be safe) they direct you to a particular restaurant that I would suggest patronizing. They have the best beach chairs and umbrellas. We went down the beach to try elsewhere and the chairs were mostly broken and the umbrellas were tiny. Please read the description for necessary costs that are NOT included in the tour price and budget accordingly. No one seemed to collect the money for the National Park but be prepared anyhow, and also bring 5 pesos for the washrooms at the last (lunch) beach. If you have to do anything major (bathroom-wise) it's best to go on the boat as the washroom is NONEXISTENT on the first beach and very primitive non flush toilet on the second beach. Paper goes in the basket, not in the toilet. This boat is small enough that they can back right up to the beach and you can hop off easily, the other big tour boats must anchor out in the bay and ferry passengers to the beach via small shuttle boats. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and saw porpoises play alongside the boat (no whales this round though.)
