What To Expect
We will begin the adventure early, at 7:00 a.m., starting from the main bay of Puerto Escondido, where we will board a comfortable and safe boat, equipped to offer a professional experience at sea.
We will sail offshore to search for dolphins in their natural habitat, being able to observe their impressive jumps and social behaviors from very close up. Our expert captain will share fascinating information about these species and their presence on the Pacific coast.
During the tour, we will also have the opportunity to see sea turtles swimming in open water, and sometimes we will be surprised by the majesty of the manta rays.
