“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.”

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!”
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.”

See warm Manialtepec Lagoon light up at night on a small-group Puerto Escondido tour, with hotel pickup, boat ride, and swimming time.
“The staff were really friendly, however our expectations were different than reality. The ride there was long and I am not sure it was worth it. The water was warm and when moved there was some bioluminescence. We were expecting more. The van was very well air conditioned, maybe too much for having been wet in the night time”

Cook tortillas, salsas, mole, and more in a small Puerto Escondido class led by Jazmine, with an Oaxacan meal and ocean views.
“We had the best time! Jazmine had everything ready when we arrived. Her home is beautiful and the view of the ocean from her kitchen otherworldly. She accommodated our vegetarian diet with 3 separate dishes plus 3 salsas and dessert. Including making tortillas from scratch. I cannot wait to make these dishes at home! I highly recommend this cooking class!”
