Roberto's Ecotours provided a perfect snorkeling day trip from Punta Zicatela. We had great communication from the beginning and it was easy to ask questions and be prepared for the day's activities. Our trip was just me, my husband and 8 year old son. Our driver, Polo, picked us up at our hotel. We were pleasantly surprised to be the only people on the tour that day. I sat in the front and enjoyed practicing my Spanish with Polo who was funny, a great storyteller and a really great driver. The journey was beautiful to Huatulco and we passed fruit stands and wood furniture makers along the road. Polo offered to stop anywhere we wanted to buy fruit or cocos. We made a short stop at an ATM, then arrived to the marina at Huatulco. We boarded a private boat (up to 5 people) and met our captain Eduardo. Eduardo guided us to 2-3 private beaches in cove areas close to Huatulco. We snorkeled in one area and he waited for us. He quickly returned by boat to pick us up out of the water. His service and information about the area were great. I highly recommend the tour - it was a really fun day from start to finish. Everything was well timed and highly- service oriented. If you are coming to see really amazing coral and fish, unfortunately this may not be the best. Environmental impacts can be seen in the ocean. The coral was bleached and brown and the ecosystem underwater was depleted. We still enjoyed the tour and seeing the area and everyone we worked with were wonderful.
