Amazing tour of beautiful beaches and snorkeling. - The tour was amazing. The captain and the crew made the ride fun and entertaining. During the ride we saw dolphins and turtles. The snorkeling was a great experience, we saw a large variety of fish. The food at the restaurant was delicious and at a great price. The boat captain was very friendly.

Great times exploring Huatulco bays - Great tour around the bays. Things they don't tell you you're going to need is money for chairs when you get to the first Island. They only take cash so you must have pesos. The restaurant at the second Island does take visa MasterCard but you will need pesos for your tip. And the special pineapple that they offer in the restaurant I don't recommend it!!

Snorkel in Paradise - We had a fantastic time on this tour. The guides were knowledgable and friendly. Make sure to bring some cash. The first stop was at a pristine beach for snorkeling. There are some locals who rent chairs and umbrellas for a very reasonable price. They also sell fruit and drinks which was an added bonus. We stayed for about 2 hours enjoying the scenery and snorkeling. We saw some other beautiful bays from the boat and then stopped for lunch. The lunch was pricey, but feel free to shop around at other restaurants. They also take some great photos of you on board that you can purchase. We ended up getting one because they were a nice memory and great quality. I highly recommend this tour and tour group for a very enjoyable experience.

Would do again - We were the only English speakers on the tour, but the guide was great about repeating things for us and including us in the activity. Really enjoyed the boat tour. Pro tip: bring more money than you think you need. We had unexpected costs for lounge chair rental and snorkel equipment rental.

Safe reliable travel - We took Lamby Tours from Oaxaca to Huatulco . Our driver was Lamberto Ramos Trujillo. He and his assistant were very knowledgeable and friendly. Lamberto is a great driver and we were able to converse with him very well. Would highly recommend to friends!

Would absolutely 100% recommend this tour! - We took this tour on our first day in Huatulco to get an overview of the area. Totally loved it! Took the full day, and it was so relaxing and enjoyable. The port area is quite chaotic and full of tourists, so make sure you are with the right people. If you don't have snorkeling gear you can rent it for 200 pesos per person, but allow yourself enough time to get that organised before the tour starts. Amazingly they picked us up at our B&B even though we were quite a distance away! Things you need to bring: fins/mask/flippers, lots of water, cash (don't count on plastic being always available), a sunhat, bathing suit, and lots of non-toxic sunscreen (don't poison the reefs). Sit on the starboard side of the boat when you get on, so that you don't bake in the sun, and also because you will be going north outbound so all the scenery is on the right (starboard) side. Long relaxing trip to the first, farthest-away beach, which is so gorgeous! Try to get off early so you can grab a good chair and umbrella (worth the few pesos to rent). Snorkelling is very good - calm, shallow, clear, tons of fish, lots of fun. The guide will take you to the best places. Second stop is longer at a busier beach with lots of places to eat and shop. Again, get off the boat quickly to get a good table in the reserved restaurant. I ordered the pineapple shrimp boat, but I wouldn't recommend it - too gooey and saucy. The fresh fish and shellfish is straight out of the ocean - couldn't be better! SO fresh and delicious. Then a relaxing trip back to the port. The staff were so helpful and fun and spoke perfect English. What a great day!

Very enjoyable day on the water! - We really enjoyed the tour. Even though only 3 or 4 of us needed the English translation, our guide kept it up all day. Beautiful beaches. Cash needed in Apr 2024, as warned in tour description: 5.5p port fee, 61p park fee, 250p beach umbrella fee (unless you’re extremely heat insensitive!) at snorkeing beach, plus your meal at the restaurant. If you don’t have your own snorkeling gear, it’s extra. Plus a tip for the crew and guide at the end. Included transport from / to hotel. We brought dry clothes for the trip home. Public toilet fee near restaurant was 5p but the boat had a facility too which was free. Not quite 5 stars but close. It would get 1 more star if the guide had translated more of what he said to English and if the umbrella fee wasn’t so steep for the 2 hours we were there—the tour company could negotiate a better deal on that! Very enjoyable and relaxing day on the water. Thanks!

Ok but not great. - This tour was okay. I am not fond of big groups, and the snorkeling was so-so. The crew was great; I have no complaints. The areas we stopped at were very busy and touristy, with lots of sellers at the lunch stop and very busy beaches with lots of boats coming, loading and unloading. It was a little overpriced for what you get, but it had lovely views.
