Private Boat Tour of the Bahías de Huatulco: Swim, Snorkel & Spot Marine Life

You step onto the gunwale as the harbor loosens its grip and the bay opens like a live map—turquoise pockets framed by green ridges, cliffs that drop into glass. The captain eases the throttle and the rhythm of the Pacific takes over: a steady push, the smell of salt and grilled lime, the occasional spray that dares you to lower your sunglasses. Over seven hours, this private lancha moves at your pace. You choose up to three stops—La Entrega’s emerald shallows, the heart-shaped sweep of Cacaluta, or the hidden inlet that protects Playa La India—and the sea offers its small theater: dolphins cutting across the wake, turtles surfacing like old coins, and reef fish that shimmer when you slide beneath the surface.
