        Baby turtles
        Tito did a great job. He knows the area well, being from here, but his English great because of having lived in the US. He made sure everyone in the group was comfortable and explained things to everyone in Spanish and English. The turtle release will be a lifetime memory . Much appreciation to the staff at the turtle center.

        Average ride
        I did the five bays and it took a few hours from the cruise dock. The first half of the ride was very good as the guide spoke excellent English and gain great commentary on the land and other information. We saw a blowhole that was interesting. We stopped for 1/2 hour at Maguey Bay for swimming. This was a major disappointment as it was just a beach - no coral or fish. Others commented the water was a bit chilly, so I did not bother to get in, and seeing fish was one of the reasons I signed up. They did serve bananas, watermelon, coke, fresca, water, beer and margaritas the entire trip. The ride back did not have as much commentary. It overall was average.

        Bad
        For $65 dollars a person and on top of that $30 to get picked up at our resort was a red Flag! I said whatever we can take a taxi. But then I received a message saying the excursion ppl were stopping by our resort so we can ride with them. Okay kool no problem. Then when we get to the port we pay to get in okay kool no issue there. But then there was a confusion or idk but everyone boarded the catamaran but us that were in the vehicle cuz our guide was late with our tickets. So now we are the last ones to board whatever it’s fine we made it. But then the whole ride was not what we expected or what the excursion said we were going to do. Basically it was not good we should have done the $33 dollar excursion it was the same damm thing. Definitely not the party boat

        Eco tour experience
        It was a bit of a long drive to get there, once we were there we had a lovely little boat ride and saw many birds and crocodiles. We had a lovely snack on the island there. After we went to release the turtles and saw a beautiful sunset. However we were unaware we were going to the turtles and did not know we needed to bring more money with us.($200 per person in pesos) . We got home after 9pm.

        Meh.
        We got a small van on the way to the hotel which was much smaller than advertised. The ride back to the airport the rides were 30 minutes late for pick up and they sent 2 small cars instead of the van. Drivers were friendly on the ride to the airport. Driver on the way to the hotel couldn't of cared less about us.

        Unique experience
        Hour and a half drive from Huatulco to small, non commercial, turtle facility. Short explanation of turtle life, then taken to beach and given 5 baby turtles to release at nightfall. 200 pesos donation. Lovely experience.

        Tour was good but had hidden costs.
        The guide, Carlos, was good. He had knowledge and a genuine concern for the environment. The actual sites/tours were interesting and what we expected, which was good. What was not good was having to pay an additional 200 pesos per person per site, as the description of the tour states that admissions are included. I understand that these sites are trying to protect and preserve wild life, which costs. But after paying almost $250 CAD for 3 persons, this added another $100 to the trip. The description on TripAdvisor needs to be updated to include this information.

        Releasing Baby Turtles is Fun!
        This was a neat experience. Eduardo picked up our group of 6 (English speakers) and two Spanish speaking families. 11 total. He gave us some information on the region, in both languages, as we drove the 90 minutes to the sanctuary. Then we had a quick intro, and time for questions, at the centre and paid our 200 pesos fee before being driven to the beach. We each got 5 baby turtles, from Rosita, to name and release. Eduardo had a special red light that didn’t hurt the turtles eyes and he took pictures for us. It was fun to watch our turtles make their way to the sea. We had to coax Floyd as he wanted to stay with us but we finally got him into the ocean with his brothers and sisters. We thought the centre missed an opportunity as they only had six t-shirts for sale. I’m sure they could have sold a lot of turtle merchandise if they had it in stock. We returned to the centre and then we drove the 90 minutes back in the dark.

        Highlight of our trip
        Best tour I have ever done. The waterfalls exceeded expectations, lots of time to swim there. Our guide, Alex, was excellent, gave us lots of local information on the drive up, which kept it interesting. He was really good with our 2 children (6 & 10). Food at the restaurant after was also excellent. I would highly recommend going with a guide as opposed to on your own, as we would not have known all the routes up and down the falls. 10/10 trip.

        A great way to try different tacos and feel like a local.
        We had a very nice evening out, being taken to 3 different taco spots. Felt like a local! It was fun. Our guide spoke very good English so he was able to answer all our questions about the Huatulco area and the cute town of La Crucecita. I found it a little expensive, but would still recommend the tour.

        Perfect day
        The waterfalls were a beautiful place to visit. The water was clean and refreshing. Our guide, Eduardo, was excellent. He helped everyone to walk and climb through several waterfall areas with patience and kindness. The drive was long, and the last part very bumpy, but Eduardo told us many interesting facts about the area, and was very entertaining. Next we had a family style lunch of delicious Mexican dishes at a restaurant near the falls. It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it.

        .Couldn,t find the house, unfortunate to have not recorded the address
        Unfortunately, the driver could not find the house. I had sent the address twice but all he had was the title. Casa de las palmas. I guess he assumed it was the Las Palmas Hotel and he knew where it was. They drove around looking for almost an hour. I do not know what happened to all of the information that I sent that included the street and house number. Otherwise the driver was great, very safe
