A must do - 100% recommend. Our guide/captain Salvador was amazing and super knowledgable. We saw 100+ dolphins, humpback whales, sea turtles, flying fish, jellyfish, pelicans. Really amazing morning. Also appreciated our boat not chasing after the whales with ~20 other boats. We waited until the end and got to see the whales without stressing them out and going them plenty of room

The best experience - We went on two tours: dolphins and mangroves+bio. It was great everything, starting with Eli’s advice in the care module, the logistics team very punctual and with excellent communication. The wonderful tours, in the one of dolphins we saw whales, turtles, sharks and we could swim with the dolphins, the one of bioluminescence was like traveling to the stars.

A trifecta of nature - A beautiful display of natural beauty, our tour took us from the coast of Puerto Escondido to the deeper waters where our favorite marine creatures were found. Our tour began with a fast ride towards a reported orca sighting, where we had the pleasure of watching these majestic creatures come up for air. We continued along, coming across and swimming with a pod of dolphins, who we then followed in our vessel for half-an-hour— calling it a pod hundreds strong doesn’t do it justice. We finished our journey with the sighting of many humpback whales, magnificent creatures. Our trifecta of sightings was rare, but the possibility of this experience happening relied solely on our guide, Omar. Omar had both the skills to maneuver us quickly towards our destinations, and the knowledge to educated us along the way. We could not have asked for a better experience and man to guide us through it, and for that: 5 stars.

Number #1 on TripAdvisor for a reason! - An absolutely AMAZING trip! Jaziel at the little office in the ‘mainstreet’ of Punta was super friendly and helpful, we booked this boat tour for the next day. Early start, pickup was at 6:30PM, short drive and then…… our captain Omar, be sure to request him(!), extremely knowledgeable on all things see/animals. We saw a family of whales (yes which made me tear up a bit ;-), see turtles and ofcourse dolphins! Really really really would recommend this trip!!! So much so, we booked another trip with Jaziel the next day (bioluminescence)…
