The excursion with Valfred Excursiones Turisticas to the Coffee plantation 'La Passionaria' was a great experience. Alejandro has been a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable about the region's history and always providing us with very valuable information about the places that we visited on the way to the plantation. Alejandro es un guia muy agradable, muy simpatico y siempre dispuesto a ayudar. He entertained us with many stories and anecdotes related to the country. The visit to the coffee plantation was extremely interesting and we learned a lot. Fue un real placer y nosotros recomandamos Valfred Excursiones Turisticas a todos los que deseen visitar lugares interesantes alrededor Puert Escondido. Many thanks Alejandro!

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 !!

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!

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.

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.

We didn’t want to do a full day tour so it was really easy to just use the shuttle option. Evelyn, who helped us, was very nice and I was so thankful to her and the driver when they helped me retrieve my phone after having left it in the van.

Ramiro Alderete picked us up at the Huatulco Airport and was very kind and personable. After chatting with him on the ride to the resort, we decided to do the coffee plantation tour and city tour with him. Ramiro was a fantastic guide, accommodated our schedule and was VERY knowledgeable of the local sights, history and traditions. We had great experiences, amazing coffee and food, and lots of great souvenirs. We definitely will look Ramiro up on our next visit. Thank you Ramiro for adding great memories to our vacation.
