Notified me about the hierve el agua being closed and substituted a mezcal tour, but didn't say anything about el tule being closed also until he was asked during the tour. Probably spent 2 hours at gift shops because there's nothing to do. I felt I was tricked into this tour. Tour guide had very poor English, he would spend 5 mins talking about something in spanish then speak English for 20 secs. Terrible experience.

Me and my girlfriend did this turtle release early may 2021. We got to release 45 minutes old baby turtles into the ocean. The guides were very helpful and informative about turtles in general and around the area. Would recommend everyone to experience this. Prepare for cuteness!

We were picked up at our hotel at 6.45am sharp as agreed (+1 for punctuality) then we went to the beach where we waited for the other couple (+1 for being only 2 couples, Robert and the our captain), we started off quite quickly. We were told that we needed to go far in the sea to reach the dolphins, but luck was on us and we could see them after 10 min in the boat, we were the 1st boat to enter in contact with them all! (+1) we stayed in the area for a while, the dolphins were playing with the boat and our guides were as euphoric as we were about the jumping dolphins, jumping ray matas, turtles and snakes we saw. I thought we would have to leave after a few minutes with the dolphins, but they took us to some more beaches to see from the sea. Finally we came back to the beach after a good 2h30 on the water. Robert called us a taxi, stayed with us for a little chat while waiting for the taxi. At 10am we were at home ready to eat and with amazing memories of these beauties. Muchas gracias Robert !!

The town is tranquil & amazing, but all bus rides are terrible! I have tried all the busses. Its better to take a taxi, because the bus drivers whip the many twist & turns so fast, that many people vomit & the buses & you smell it for 4 hours. The driver ignores you with any request. They laugh about how many people get sick. No impressed. Choose another travel option.

Tomas was easily one of the best tour guides I've ever had. Incredibly knowledgeable, and super friendly he did everything to make the tour perfect. And the work being done at La Escobilla is so important, it's a great opportunity to support a wonderful cause. And of course the baby turtles are absolutely adorable!! I couldn't recommend it more!
