My Avatar, Blue Lagoon Moment - They were very attentive and contacted me in advance to inform me of the changes because they monitor the visibility of the phenomenon. A pleasant experience. The crew was friendly and patient, appreciating the history and culture, as well as the clear explanations of the phenomenon. The guides were very helpful.

Mind blowing experience - Incredible experience, thanks to Mario , our guide, we were able to discover Mexican nature while horse riding , a peaceful walk hosted by a local village which lives in the nature, driven by one of them, achieved the thermal water where we were just the two of us! To then end the journey with a mole and juice prepared by a lady of the village… absolutely amazing experience!

Chacahua national park - Maury is a wonderful guide! He strives to help people enjoy the experience! We went on the tour to Chacahua National Park which included picking you up at your hotel, boat ride through the mangroves with tons of wildlife, lunch on the beach, a walk to a secluded Sunset Beach that was stunning, then boat ride back through the bioluminescent waters. Every part of the trip he explained, pointed out interesting sites, helped us locate the birds, and generally assisted with every need or request. This was my favorite tour in Puerto Escondido! I would highly recommend choosing Muary as your guide!

Could be shorter - Driver was able to pick us up and drop us off which was really helpful. The ride is nice but in our opinion is too long. You ride along a road with other horses/cattle for about an hour+ then on the beach another 45-1hr and then make it back the same road. The horses have to cross the lagoon so there’s a good amount of getting on and off. Would be better as a 2 hour ride. If you do the entire ride it would last almost 4 hours. Our guide didn’t speak any English and rode in the very back which did make making the horses going the correct direction difficult at some points.
