My family and I spent one week in Huatulco and aside from the amazing beaches here we wanted to experience something authentic from this region. We were recommended this tour by our friends who live here and we are so glad that we booked it on our last day here. Be prepared for a long day, but the day will be so worth it. In the morning the driver arrived on time to pick us up. We were the only guests so we felt like this was a completely private tour just for us. The chocolate factory was something special, and we bought a bunch of tasty cacao treats. Just make sure to bring a cooler. Our driver offered to keep our chocolate cold for us throughout the day. Mazunte is such a special place and we are already planning to come back and stay in Mazunte for a longer time. The cute alleys with their little restaurants and cafes beckon you to sit and observe Mazunte life. We will be back soon! The tour kept getting more amazing as we entered the estuary of La Ventanilla. Our guide was so sweet and he spoke perfect English, which for us was important. He explained to us everything about the estuary and the wildlife that he spotted for us as the boat glided through the mangroves. The day came to a culmination with the Turtle spawn. We were all blown away by this natural phenomenon unfolding in from of our eyes. We saw hundreds of turtles crawling up the beach to dig their holes and lay their eggs. What an experience. We are so glad we came on this tour and we were so sad having to leave beautiful Mexico!
The value of this tour is exceptional. Do yourself a favor and book this tour!
