Adventure with dolphins - It is a very nice experience, seeing dolphins, turtle, various fish and manta rays. They explained the species that lived on the coast of Huatulco and their characteristics. We saw a family of spotted dolphins, two mothers with their young and a juvenile specimen. Later we went to the bays and snorkeled on the reef where we could observe different species of fish and turtles. All the time we were accompanied by Maria and Peter who answered our doubts. We'll be back with them in whale season.

Best whale watching ever! - Doing an excursion like this with a marine biologist who LOVES their work makes all the difference. We learn so much every time we go out with this crew! We went 3 times on this last trip, and we are bringing friends with us from Canada next winter. Always a good time!
