Tour Details 

At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Huatulco and head to the Santa Cruz dock, about 40 minutes away. There, a boat will be waiting to take us out to observe whales and dolphins in their natural habitat. A once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Once in open waters, we'll set sail in search of the fascinating creatures that inhabit the Pacific of Huatulco. You may spot dolphins leaping alongside the bow, manta rays gliding beneath the surface, seabirds in flight, turtles, schools of colorful fish, and, of course, the majestic whales that migrate along Huatulco's coast.

During the 4-hour adventure, we'll share interesting facts about each species and provide you with observation materials and identification guides to make the most of your experience. Additionally, you’ll also have water and soft drinks to stay refreshed while enjoying the views.

Finally, we'll return to the Santa Cruz dock and take you back to your hotel, concluding the tour after approximately 5 to 5.5 hours.

Whale & Dolphin Watching

Huatulco is an ideal location for whale and dolphin watching. However, these animals are unpredictable. The number of sightings may vary depending on factors such as the weather or the breeding and calving seasons of different species.

Hotel Pickup

This tour includes hotel pickup only from accommodations located in the Tangolunda, Santa Cruz, La Crucecita, and Playa Conejos areas. If your hotel is located outside these areas, we will provide an alternative meeting point after booking is confirmed.
