The experience

The reefs around Huatulco hold more than scenery. You'll move through three separate zones (the Bay of Entrega, El Organo and La India) each one home to different fish, crustaceans and molluscs. A live guide in English or Spanish swims with you and names what you're seeing, then talks about what it takes to keep these reefs alive. You get all the snorkelling equipment and fins. The guide handles the route and the timing.

Pickup is included, so you don't need a car or a ride arranged separately. The whole experience runs about seven hours, which gives you time in the water without rushing the travel. Public transportation options are nearby if you prefer to meet at the site instead. Children from age 8 can join. The guide adjusts the pace for mixed groups.
