  Awesome El país es hermoso ! Y Oaxaca tiene muchos lugares para conocer, las aguas termales me ayudaron mucho a sanar mis tobillos y el ecoturismo fue la mejor experiencia con bellos paisajes y el trato fue muy gentil.

  Horse riding to thermal waters & bio luminescence tour I did two tours with Kiko, the first of which was the horse riding to the thermal waters. I was a bit scared because I had not ridden a horse before but Kiko took me to a place with a really chilled out and lovely horse called Maura. It was an amazing day riding the horse through the Oaxacan countryside and spending time chilling (so to speak) in the natural hot spring (particularly nice if your accommodation doesn't have hot water!!). I also did the bioluminescence tour with Kiko, which was a really cool experience. Overall, I heartily recommend Kiko as a tour guide. He is a really lovely guy, very friendly and speaks superb English. He even tried to help me out with finding an apartment when my air bnb fell through.

  We had just an amazing time and our guide was so cool and really helpful. He went above and beyond for us to make our experience amazing. We would love to have him as guide anytime. Really great experience with booking with eco adventures. Everything was simple straight forward and they accommodated any last minute changes we needed to make. Overall really great experience, we did the horseback riding at sunset. we crossed rivers, visited lagoons and galloped with our horses along the beautiful crashing waves of the ocean while watching the sun turn a deep red at sunset . A real "life like movie' experience. One we never forget.

  Swim with dolphins A sensational outing!We left at 7:00 in the morning. At first two dolphins but our Captain Joel and are second Juan, ask us to be patient. We're going along the coast for a while. The ocean is vast! And there, suddenly, a huge bench! Probably 1000 to 2000 dolphins. It jumped all over the place. We all dived from the boat including children 3, 5 and 7 years old. Listening to them talk was fantastic. A few minutes later, rebel. Another dive in contact with dolphins. I even got pulled by the boat swimming like this at their speed. Amazing!! We were alone, too. Eco Adventures is widely recommended! The team is great! Too bad we can’t upload videos.

  Not at all what we expexted-very odd Pickup was 6:45. Drove for an hour and 15 to collect everyone else. We weren't even sure we were headed to the right spot because it took so long. The tour said it was in English but the driver and then the captain didn't actually speak English so we had a bit of uncertainty there. There was a man who did a pretalk before we left in English but that was the extent. You take a boat that seats about 12 out with a group of people to a tent in the lagoon where there are other boats as well. You then jump in the water to swim in to a tent so you can see the bioluminescence for about 10-15 minutes. Unless you do that you don't see it. Got dropped back at the hotel about 10:00. So a lot of time invested for not a lot. Also they should mention it's not suitable for little kids as a family on our boat just sat there with their unhappy crying children waiting for everyone else. Felt bad for them. Not at all like bioluminescence we saw in Puerto Rico for example. So I think you just need to know a bit better what you can actually expect. Sorry.

  Kiko = awesome Kiko took us on a bioluminescence tour in the Laguna de Manialtepec at night. We went during a full moon so it was hard to see the plankton, but there were some floating tents in the water and we jumped in to have a closer look. It was good even if it's apparently much better when there's no moon - so be advised!Kiko is an amazing guide, perfect English, knows a lot about the area, and goes on many adventures. 100% recommend.

Que incluya el transporte de tu hostal a la laguna, es un súper plus. Oscar fue nuestro guía y fue muy amable. Nos la pasamos muy bien, y fue inolvidable ver la bioluminiscencia. Recomiendo mucho la experiencia y la agencia.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  After our previous tour company cancelled our horse back riding excursion 3 hrs before it started, Eco tours really saved us with a last minute spot! Our tour guide Oscar was incredible, we had the the best time horse back riding through the lagoon and the beach! Even tho it was raining for the first bit, it added to the experience which made it 10x more memorable!

 Verified  Muy bueno ¡Chacahua es un paraíso de mugre! Una completa estafa "No se dejen engañar por las fotos de internet; este lugar no tiene nada de paraíso. Es una pesadilla de suciedad e incomodidad. Para empezar, nunca hay luz, así que prepárate para soportar apagones eternos, calor sofocante, sin ventilador ni forma de cargar tu teléfono. La realidad de lo que vas a encontrar: * Contaminación y peste: La laguna está completamente negra, huele horrible y está llena de pescados muertos flotando por todos lados. Es un foco de infección. * Gente grosera y abusiva: El trato de los lugareños y lancheros es pésimo y déspota. Te cobran precios altísimos como si fuera un destino de lujo, cuando todo está abandonado. * Mugre por doquier: Hay basura acumulada en las playas y en el pueblo; no existe la menor higiene en los baños ni en la comida. No vayan!

 Verified  Mangroves, sunsets and bioluminescence We were picked up by Antonio from our hotel. He drove us to Laguna Chacahua. There we took a boat through the mangroves and over to the town of Chacahua and had a late lunch. We took a short hike to watch the sunset then back on the water for the bioluminescence. Antonio took such amazing are of us and we had a magical time! So worth it being cash and bug repellent. And plan for a long day.

 Verified  A Magical Morning We went on a sunrise tour. Met our guide at 5:45 and drove about 30 minutes to launching site. It was just my husband and I and our wonderful guide Juan Carlos. Took a short boat ride to get to the kayaks. We basically had the lagoon and mangrove to ourselves except for the multitudes of birds and occasional iguana. Paddled around for a few hours and learned about the ecosystem and took lots of photos. Capped off the morning with a beachfront Oaxacan breakfast. Totally recommend this company. A bit more expensive than some- but well planned experience that was essentially a private tour and excellent guide.

 Verified  Breathtaking! This was an amazing experience and I highly recommend it to anyone that appreciates natural beauty and doesn't mind waking up early on vacation! I will never forget seeing the sun rise on the lagoon as the birds floated overhead. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, and we even enjoyed coffee while kayaking! I think we were out on the water for around two hours, but honestly my partner and I were so immersed that only the sunrise marked the passage of time. When we went there was one other tourist joining us in addition to the guide. Lunch on the beach after was also splendid. Really a breathtaking experience that I would gladly do again.

 Verified  Private driver I hired this company for their private driver service. I used them twice, once from Huatulco airport to our hotel in Puerto Escondido and again from PE to Oaxaca city center. We had Antonio and Juan Carlos as our drivers. They were both awesome! So accommodating and nice to talk with. I wish I had used this company to book our adventures while in Puerto Escondido. Highly recommend!

 Verified  The place is stunningly beautiful. And if you're lucky to see a single dolphin or whale, you've already done it. They have an extensive offer of services, but the Dolphin and Whale snorkeling and watching can not miss it. They are very friendly and attentive.

 Verified  Breathtaking tour in nature: unforgettable experience in a beautiful location What a wonderful experience!! Incredibly beautiful tour through nature; past palm trees, along lagoons, through rivers, along the beach. WAUW! We are upside down about this tour. Is definitely pricey but worth it. What a beautiful location this was! The horses are well cared for and the guide is super friendly.

 Verified  GO TORTUGAS GO! WHAT A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! The beach alone was truly magnificent! Our guide was kind and very informative. What I loved about THIS turtle release, is that it is not as commercial as other ones and we each got about 7 babies to release!!! (Other tours that I looked into do not let each person have a bowl of turtles!) I was already forewarned that some of the babies will not successfully make it all the way to the water because of the vigilant seagulls & frigates! But some do, and they are only 2 hours old when you release them - so it is amazing to see them automatically scamper towards the water. Then, we were able to enjoy a splendid sunset on the beach and on the ride back - we enjoyed cervezas and waters!
