Ocean Eco Adventures offer a blend of offshore exploration, where dolphins, sea turtles, and whales* are often spotted, along with coastal cruising in Huatulco National Park, featuring guided snorkeling on the finest reefs away from the crowds.

Initially, the journey takes several miles offshore to prime locations for spotting dolphins, sea turtles, and whales*.
Guides provide fascinating insights into the lives of the dolphins, sea turtles, and whales* encountered during the offshore exploration, while also collecting data for research purposes.
The adventure then returns to the coast to navigate through the picturesque bays of Huatulco National Park, including Chachacual, La India, Cacaluta, Maguey, Organo, Santa Cruz, and Chahué.
