See wild dolphins, whales, turtles, rays, and seabirds off Puerto Escondido on a small-group morning boat tour with hotel pickup.

“Be patient, Fernando knows what he’s doing. It felt like we were headed nowhere especially leaving the group of other tour boats. But man was he right, we found what seemed like a hundred dolphins. Along with other sea mammals. But the cherry on top was the humpback whales. We were the first to arrive and had the best and closest view over every other tour.”

4.Turtle Release Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 228 reviews · 2 hours · from $40Best value

Release a baby sea turtle at sunset near Puerto Escondido, learn about conservation, and enjoy hotel transport for $40.

“A bit rushed - we didn’t seem to get the same tour/explanation in the nursery as the group before so ours felt quite rushed. Think this was as our taxi driver was late. Turtle releasing was a cool experience but would have liked to spend more time learning about the turtles (you just release 1 turtle and that’s it). Glad to support the cause though!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 177 reviews · 2 hours (approx.)

Review of Silva Surf School’s 2-hour Puerto Escondido lesson, with beginner-friendly coaching, flexible beach choice, equipment, tips, and GoPro options.

“Had an amazing time yesterday on the water. I skate and always wanted to learn how to surf. Instructor Oni picked us up in La punta and took us to a spot where the waves were better and no other surfers our tourists. After learning pop up techniques and few times wiping out I finally caught a few waves! He was a great instructor and this is an awesome experience for sure! I recommend bringing a bottle of water.”
