We were in Hualtulco for 10 days and booked Oscar for several tours, (waterfall,deep sea fishing, Snorkeling, and massage in Piedra de Moro). I have traveled all over the world and Oscar Jinenez is by far the best tour guide I have ever booked with. Oscar will do what it takes to make your vacations as pleasant and fun for your whole family. If you want a famulous time with no worries book Oscar he's the best.

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 !!
