  • 1Tour provider no-showed. They will say it was too rough eventhough plenty of other operators were going out on tours.

    Tour provider no showed. Said it was too rough eventhough other providers were going on tours. No communication. They sent an email the night before that they might have to cancel and would let us know by 8am. No email from tour provider the next morning. I emailed them at 9am and no response. Showed up at the meeting place(the beach where tours start) 30 min prior to tour start. Tour provider never showed up or emailed. Other tour groups were going out on their tours. Our toddler was massively disappointed not to go on a boat and see dolphins.

  • 5Absolutely Amazing Tour

    Amazing trip with our guide Alex. The booking was easy and simple and Omar communicated timely and consistently up to the date of departure. While we didn't see any whales (December is a better month evidently) we did see plenty of beautiful sea turtles and a pod of dolphins joyfully playing with a sea turtle. The boat was comfortable and Alex took great care in making sure the trip was enjoyable. Would highly recommend!

  • 5Unforgettable dolphin experience! 🐬🐬

    Such an unforgettable experience! Everything was communicated via WhatsApp very clearly. On the day of, we arrived early and Omar’s team was already waiting for us. He led us to a breakfast stall and graciously helped translate for us. On the actual boat ride, they pointed out turtles and was very knowledgeable answering our questions. The actual dolphin watching was simply magical. Unfortunately we didn’t see whales as that is an end of fall into winter activity. But 10/10 for experience and customer satisfaction. Would 100% book again!

About Puerto Escondido

Puerto Escondido is a laid-back fishing town on Oaxaca's Pacific coast, known for powerful surf at Zicatela, sheltered coves and mangrove lagoons.

Puerto Escondido curves around a series of bays on the Pacific coast of Oaxaca, with steep streets climbing from the fishing beach to the main road. Playa Zicatela, the long beach to the east, is a famous surf spot with heavy, hollow waves, while Playa Carrizalillo is a small cove reached by a stairway, with calmer water for swimming. The town's central beach has fishing boats and seafood shacks.
