Snorkeling so so rest of boat tour was great - Did the 7 bays tour. You snorkel at one spot for what was supposed to be and hour and a half but after about 40 minutes I found it dragging on as there was the same fish at the resort we were at. The rest of the tour was really good as the captain tried to find aquatic animals to see on route. He more than succeeded as we encountered dolphins first. We then spotted sea turtles which we got up and close to but not to close and got some great pictures. We then got radiod there was whales spotted so we headed in that direction. We got the pleasure of seeing a humpback and her baby and we stayed back a good distance but close enough to see them and got the famous tail flip coming out of the water. After seeing the whales we spotted a stingray that had actually jumped in the air and back into the ocean. Never got a picture as you would of had to have the camera going already to catch it. Was quite the site to see though. Lots of smaller black tunas breaking the surface as well. Went for a shore lunch. Was on the expensive side but overall worth it just for the experience. The guide we had was pretty funny and very knowledgeable. Was fun to be on the boat with. Lots of beer or other drinks if you wanted any. Overall great trip and they try very hard to find things to show you. This trip they managed to do just that.

PRIVATE TOUR - So much better than a cruise ship excursion! - Absolutely can't say enough about how wonderful a PRIVATE tour is! Merlin took us to quiet bays for snorkeling, and Mauro was a fantastic guide. Pointing out landmarks and wildlife. Mauro snorkeled with us, guiding us to the best spots to see the diverse marine life! We had a delicious lunch at a open air restaurant. The fish tacos were delicious, as were the tortillas and salsa! The price was reasonable. Vendors did come around to the table, but they weren't pushy. One of our friends did buy some souvenirs and was very happy when we got back to town. It pays to buy directly from the artist! Don't be concerned about not booking with the cruise line. The experience was fantastic!

Private 7 bay tour a must o! - The excursion was fantastic. Robert and team were just great. We saw turtles and dolphins. Beautiful beaches and great snorkeling. Food at lunch was very good. Great value and a lot of fun.

Informative and confidence inspiring - Alberto and Ysidro were great. Alberto picked us up, brought us to the marina and dropped us off in the late afternoon. Alberto is a fount of knowledge and enthusiasm about Huatulco and the region. Ask him about archaeological sites. Ysidro was our captain. Rougher than usual seas (swells) were no obstacle. Saw a whale shark and dolphins. India Bay as advertised. Great day and good feelings all around.

Enjoying at our leisure - Mr España did a magnificent job by tailoring this trip to our liking. The boat captain was also very friendly and attentive so we could enjoy the best out of this trip

Highlight of our trip! - We LOVED our boat tour with HomieTours! We were in Huatulco for a bachelorette party and this was the highlight of our trip. They picked us up at our house and were knowledgeable and kind. We learned so much about Huatulco just on our drive over to the port. The boat was a perfect size for 5 of us and our captain made the rough ocean water feel so much smoother with his amazing driving skills. He even guided our snorkeling, bringing us to a spot where we saw a turtle and a wide variety of other fish. There was plenty of water and beer on board and they let us bring our own lunch. I can’t wait to return and use HomieTours services again.

Viatour delivers beer at a champagne cost. - Alberto squired us to the marina imparting local history, wildlife and ecological information. Very enjoyable mini tour. The gentlemen who received us at the marina did not speak & was not assistive walking ahead of us to boat. Oratio our boat captain provided a fun informative tour of the bays. We felt safe in his capable hands. Oratio checked in frequently ensuring we received the personal experience a private tour offers. Took us to great snorkel sites, providing time to take in bays highlights. The same gentlemen who received us at the marina silently walking ahead of us as we carried our gear to a street taxi. The taxi was non air condition (34 C) took us back to the resort. The transportation to the marina and the boat tour met the expectation of a private $450.00 cdn four hour boat tour. The non assistive non speaking escort to and from boat and a non air conditioned public cab (approx $6.00 cdn value) does not meet with our expectations of the money paid nor the Viator company.

Worth the trip - We loved seeing the beautiful area and coatis running around on shore. The snorkeling was nice. The lunch beach was great. All would have been more pleasant on a calmer day. The water was rough and one in our party got really seasick.

Waste - Half the tour was being left on a beach to buy an overpriced lunch from captains friend When we were ready to go, he had left. Finally came back 45 minutes later. Not recommended.

Not what we expected - The driver that took us to the boat was great. However when we got there we had major issues……the snorkeling equipment was supposed to be included in our price….it was not! Then, there were no beer on the boat as promised when we booked. The boat was very small! They did get the beer after we got off the boat and said we weren’t going! The tour had no music on board as promised. The guide(only I person on board, limited English)…….was very nice but did not say much. I think we expected more explanation of the area.
