Beautiful islands in the view of our Barcelo Huatulco.The Bay is particularly beautiful at night with the lights in the distance & stars shining above the palms. We took Jose'Lopez Lopez tour to see the other bays with white sand beaches & variety of wave action. We did see sea turtles, dolphins, & others saw whales on the previous day. Its a great idea to limit resorts to a small area to reserve the natural beaches & habitat.

Look! Look! Look! Wherever you turn, there is a new bird and this was in March, off of breeding season for many species when song activity is not high. It's local folks who are making their living here. Support them and see nature up close. It's the only way to really SEE this extensive mix habitat. Go early. Take the 6:30 launches and avoid the heat. Best for pics, too. Be sure to bring binoculars. Funny how many people think that they'll see everything like on TV.

It was my first time scuba-diving. Virgilio and Carlos offered me the best experience, they were patient, helpful, and very clear in their guidance, both in Spanish and English. I can only recommend this team, whether you are novice or experienced. We had a great time together, saw tons of fishes including rays. Best diving spot in Huatulco!

We took the Lagune tour with a knowledgeable ‘red shirt’. Don’t know all the details about the 2 opposing groups red vs white. Just noticed as we were passing the white tour guide, the men didn’t greet one another. The boot tour was interesting and very relaxing. This was also the place to buy straw hats, honey, teas, chocolate etc. Bought refreshing Jamaica Alma Blanca tea leaves. Prices were very reasonable and good quality with the proceeds going back to the conservation effort. We also had Tlayuda,a typical Oaxacan filled tortilla at a tiny family run restaurant. Definitely worth a visit.

Nice beach for snorkelling. Go along the rock on the left and right sides. Most of the restaurants have loungers. Just spend some money there and you can sit or lay there all day.
