Review of the private Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo city tour, with local markets, wildlife, beaches, history, views, pricing, and practical tips.
“Tony was very knowledgeable on the history of Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo. He gave us enough time at each stop. He answered all our questions. His English was great.”
Review of the Ixtapa Island Tour from Zihuatanejo, with beaches, snorkeling, lunch, hotel pickup, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“The Ixtapa Island tour was a fantastic addition to our family vacation to Mexico. After getting picked up from your hotel in a van, we were ferried across to the island (very short boat ride). The island is very small but unique in that it has a reef with surprisingly great snorkeling on the ocean side and a beautiful white sand beach for swimming on the other side (literally less than 100 steps). You’re provided with a great meal choice and drink but can easily upgrade to amazing coconut shrimp and fancy drinks if desired. Luis (our guide in two trips in this area) was phenomenal and helped our family…”
Explore Xihuacan ruins, its artifact-filled museum, a ball court, local village, and homemade Mexican lunch on a guided half-day trip from Zihuatanejo.
“Pablo made the tour a huge hit for us with his extensive knowledge of the area, culture, history, and archaeology site! We had a refreshingly air-conditioned van and a delicious stop for lunch. Our 14 and 16 year-old kids, who were a bit reluctant about the tour at first as it was taking them away from the beach / pool, thanked us afterward, saying that it was a real highlight of their overall trip.”
Release newly hatched sea turtles on a secluded beach near Zihuatanejo, with hotel pickup, local guides, and a hands-on conservation lesson.
“My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour with Luis. He drove the two of us south to a small town in his car, then we transferred to an ATV for a bumpy trip about a mile to the beach and turtle nursery. Along with another small group we learned about the three turtle types on this beach. We then transferred our 65 or so newborns to baskets, then after some frigate birds finally left, carried them just above the surf and released them. It was quite exciting to help them start their journey. We highly recommend this tour!”
Kayak across Zihuatanejo Bay to Las Gatas for guided snorkeling, a beach lunch, local stories, and family-friendly fun.
“This was a great trip. Guide was a lot of fun. Snorkeling was good. If lucky the water will be clear, but if not clear then its not the best. The lunch was good, friendly staff.”
Pick a coast, a ruin or a kitchen.
