Huatulco Crocodiles and Turtles Tour
The Huatulco Crocodiles and turtles tour is a great mix of adventure and nature. It shows both the crocodiles and turtles in their native environment, and allows you to view them at a safe distance. There are many other animals and birds you will see on the tour.
Crocodiles Excursion
You will be picked up at your resort or hotel and brought to the town of La Ventanilla. Here, a group of families strive to restore the crocodiles habitat. With Crocodiles being endangered in the area, the efforts to keep the area preserved is a worthy one. The eco tour factor is definitely present in this excursion. All in all, this could be on the list of best Huatulco Tours for ecotourism out there.
Don’t forget to bring the 100 pesos entrance fee.
The tour includes being paddled through a river with crocodiles swimming around. You will also see plenty of iguanas, birds and other wildlife in the area. Alfonso’s knowledge of the birds is unparalleled.
Be sure to stop at the café for authentic coconut water out of the shell, homemade tortillas, and other snacks.
Turtles Tour
Your tour will begin with a drive through the mountains to the small, authentic town of Mazunte. Here, you will stop and visit the local shops before going to the National Turtle Research Center. This Center a key for breeding, releasing, and keeping turtle numbers stable in many regions of Mexico. Make sure you take the time to look at the numerous species of turtles at various stages of growth.
Bring an extra 32 pesos for your admission, along with some extra money for locally made soaps, moisturizers and other souvenirs.
Supporting the Environment
Both the crocodile & turtle portions of this tour are about building a sound ecological future in Mexico. With the tourism industry bustling, it is very easy to forget about our duty to the environment. Your tour locations are set up to ensure that never happens.
Length of Tour: Roughly 7 hours
Departure: Your Huatulco hotel or Resort

Community Needs are Important to Alfonso. He Gives 10% of Each Tour to Help
Great communication and friendly. - So, I’m all about managing my expectations. However, Alfonso provided a service to rival all resort and cruise ship tour guides I’ve ever experienced.
First of... read more all, the communication was very responsive. Especially when getting closer to arrival. Our itinerary was agreed upon prior to arrival. Alfonso asked that we PayPal 20% deposit to secure the tours.
He provided a very intimate style tour for our group of 17. No one was left behind(which we’ve experienced before). Our rides were literally waiting for us prior to agreed time which allowed for earlier start.
While the itinerary was “set” the hualtulco weather thew us 1 curve ball. We were going on a bay tour, we were on the boat and paid for snorkel rentals. Once we left the harbor, the seas were a bit choppy and windy. Alfonso made the call to change up the activity for the day. So we got an early start to the waterfall tours which was in the other side of the city in the mountains. Went off with out a hitch.
Alfonso has his partners that host the tours to assist with making everything flow seamlessly. The waterfall tours were such a great time. We managed a group of 17, aging from 3 years old to 73 years old. Alfonso was able to manage all of the individual needs and still maintain line of sight of those that were more able bodied.
The lunch portion after the water falls were so much better then expected. The Molé was amazing, the pork just as juicy. And hand made tortillas chefs kiss-** I love everything spicy. So they gave me chopped habanero peppers on the side. Perfect touch of heat for me.
That ended a great day.
Our second tour, was the bay tour which which we originally attempted but weather didn’t permit. However, Poseidon’s fury didn’t defeat Alfonso this time! We made the bay tour went off without any hiccups. We recommend bringing some chips and snacks for the ride. But Victoria’s(beers) and waters were provided. When touring the bays, the locals are out selling snacks and drinks. Make sure to ask for double shot as the drinks unintentionally needed to be leaded.
Over all we had a wonderful time. Alfonso played a great deal in that. The tour experience was def appreciated and we’re definitely using his services again.
