Wonderful Tour - This was a great tour, would recommend it. Staff was very friendly and informative. We all had a great time! I recommend paying the extra $10 to do the snorkeling, the water is so clear and you can see many types of fish.

Great value - Meetup/departure was a bit chaotic and loud, but we knew what we had signed up for. While a smaller boat and more intimate experience would have been great, for the price this was an excellent option to get out on the water and see the huatulco area. Staff was kind and helpful.

Too LONG - There were different boats doing these tours . Our bay tour was with Amstar . They did an English speaking tour which was very nice ! All Americans were on this tour due to the language barrier so this was wonderful . Our boat though was like a big fishing boat . The tour guides were really great . What most people on this tour with us agreed upon , it was too long - we went out way too far and our boat has to go very slowly and there were BIG waves we had to cut through . I was kind of afraid at some points about tipping over sideways on our way back . We got to snorkel at two bays . The first one was hard to enjoy . You get out in water , never land - and you could not see much . The water was cloudy and the waves were too big to allow it . We stayed there an hour - bring money if you want anything like a rented beach umbrella or a soda at the shoreline which is also pretty tough to get to . Waves were just bad . We stayed about an hour at each bay . The second bay was amazing . You could see so many things and the water was beautiful . We saw an octopus !! We all loved this place and it had a great little beach area . We all said , they could cut this tour in half instead of making it a 6 hour excursion and just take people to the second bay which is half as far away ! The views were beautiful around a the first bays but after you’ve seen them for a good hour on this slow , big and rocking boat , you’re ready to get off . We had three people get sea sick and vomit . So take your Dramamine and I suggest the patches that go behind your ears ! Again the tour guides were great and helped you see fish while snorkeling !!

Not good. Needs to be more clear on meeting point - The tour operator did not meet us for the tour. After many attempts to reach them by phone I did reach them through group chat but it was too late to take the trip Made for a disappointing day in Huatulco I was refunded by company but I would have preferred the excursion.

What Tour? - Encuentro T who Viator partnered with on this trip did not confirm our pickup before hand and despite us being there 15 minutes early waiting, never showed up. When we contacted Encuentro, they lied and said the driver waited there and left, yet the hotel has no record of them entering the property. They told us we had 9 minutes to get to the dock on our own or we would miss the boat, which was impossible. Viator needs to choose it partnering companies better.
