We did the hike to the waterfalls—well the waterfalls were dry because it’s too dry but who cares? The hike was beautiful, our guide, Fein, was so incredibly nice and knowledgeable and personable. Dez was incredibly helpful and answered every question we had (we had a lot).We only did half the hike ending at the first beach of three—time constraints and a bad knee—so at the half way point we took a water taxi to the restaurant. The restaurant was on the beach, the food was plentiful and surprisingly delicious! I had told Dez it was my birthday and the restaurant had a birthday surprise dessert and the wait staff sang Happy Birthday. It was a lovely touch. I can’t say enough good things about Dez and her excursion. It was super!

This is always one of the highlights of my trip and I really missed it last year during COVID. What Elly and her team do through this program is exceptional! They have found ways to stay safe in the pandemic and continue to support their artisan partners. Please review their website and get to know the artisans who soon will be offering their goods through an e-commerce store. The artisans are so hospitable and share their stories so well. They are so willing to answer questions and tell us about their lives and work. It is so special to be able to purchase directly from the person who made it!

Nestled in the heart of the Sierra Madre Mountains, San Sebastian's remote location and historic appeal have made it one of Mexico's last great getaways. As the road weaves through the mountains, you'll enjoy fantastic scenery and typical scenes of rural Mexican life, making this journey both breathtaking and relaxing.

After that we’ll visit a restaurant by the beach where you can enjoy the delicious local food and have a drink.

After purchasing cruise/tour from TripAdvisor, we came to know that we need to go convert the online voucher into a paper ticket. This needed to occur prior to the cruise and in a separate location. This was an unpleasant surprise and the local staff had a very hard time communicating in English. Though this cruise was marketed as a bilingual tour, in reality, very little attention was given to non-Spanish speakers which left us feeling excluded and confused. Facilities left a lot to be desired, the "Continental Breakfast" was ridiculous, to say the least, however, alcohol was ample. We were not warned of choppy sea and seasickness which were a real problem during our specific cruise. We were also not informed that the transfer to the beach would be in smaller "panga" boats. Overall, despite gorgeous views, this wasn't a good experience for our family

Every year around the end of November till the beginning of April we are honored to welcome the Humpback whale in our area. Once the water temperature changes, they come down with the colder currents from Alaska to mate and raise their babies. These incredible animals that can grow up to 52 ft are an absolute must see for nature lovers. Let these giants surprise you when they come to greet us peacefully; enjoy playtime of the newborn calves: a spectacular water show with turns and jumps guaranteed! Be stunned by their enchanting song, which can last up to 20 min and can be repeated for hours…

Nouschka was an amazing guide. Very fun dive. Enjoyable day. She was lighthearted and fun and reminded us of all of the safety and proper techniques to dive since we were new to it and just got certified. Would definitely go back with her and highly recommend!

I went to San Sebastian. There were 3 of us on the tour, plus the guide and driver. They were very nice and knowledgeable. The town is up in the mountains. There really isn't much there but a small town with cobble stone street and a square. Not much shopping. We had a nice lunch. The nicest thing was seeing the mountain life on the way and stopping at a bakery, tequila maker and a coffee maker. It was very comfortable and a nice day trip to see some different scenery. The tour was run well.

Eteban, was such a pleasure to work with. He ensured not only our transportation from to airport to the hotel was taken care of as well as getting us back to the airport the day of departure. He also got with us on day 1 to plan and schedule all the excursions and adventures my family and I wanted to do. We were able to get them scheduled with discounts. He was quite helpful. On one of our days we left some items in a taxi and didn't realize it before they left. Esteban went above and beyond to assist and help in identifying the Taxi and communicating with his local contacts to get our items delivered back to our hotel. I didn't think we would get those items back. He was essential in an awesome trip and such a friendly helpful gentleman. We would use him and Gray Lines again anytime.
