Activity itinerary

Bahía de Santa Cruz Huatulco (Pass by)

As you begin your Bays tour, one of the first attractions you'll enjoy is Santa Cruz Bay, Huatulco's most iconic bay. From the boat, you can observe: Huatulco's main pier, where international cruise ships arrive; Santa Cruz beach, with its golden sand and calm waters, where there is also a chapel; beaches such as "La Entrega" and "Yerbabuena".

Playa La Entrega (Pass by)

During your tour, you'll be able to see "La Entrega" beach, a popular attraction in the destination known for its crystal-clear emerald-green waters and calm waves. Inclusive, recreational beach with greater historical wealth. The name La Entrega beach comes from an important storey, as it was here that General Vicente Guerrero, one of the heroes of Mexico's independence, was betrayed and handed over to his enemy forces.

Bahia De Cacaluta (Pass by)

Located within the majestic Huatulco National Park, Cacaluta Bay is one of the most impressive spots on the tour. You'll be amazed by the natural beauty of this pristine bay, famous for its heart shape. From the boat, you can admire: The long white sand beach, bordered by tropical jungle and completely virgin, which makes it look like an untouched paradise; The iconic heart-shaped view of Cacaluta, visible when you move away a little, makes it a bay recognised even for having appeared in films such as "Y Tu Mamá También" and "Juana La Cubana."

Chachacual

  • 1h 30m
A real paradise hidden inside Huatulco National Park. Accessed only by sea, this bay offers you a total disconnection experience, surrounded by nature. This area was formerly inhabited by indigenous Zapotec and Mixtec groups, who used the bays as a fishing refuge and passageway on their coastal trade routes. This is the first stop: you will have the opportunity to walk along the beach, swim, snorkel and enjoy refreshing drinks such as pina colada, coconut or micheladas prepared by local people.

Playa La India (Pass by)

Playa La India, designated by National Geographic as one of the 10 most beautiful beaches in the world and located within Chachacual Bay, in the heart of Huatulco National Park. The beach takes its name from an ancient local legend that tells of a young indigenous woman who took refuge in this area to escape the bustle and find peace. Today, Playa “La India” remains a place of pure tranquility, as it is only accessible by sea, which keeps it protected and free of urbanisation. From the boat, you can observe: an extensive and peaceful bay surrounded by tropical vegetation and green mountains; the unspoilt beach, where peace and natural beauty reign.

Playa Maguey

  • 2h
At this second stop, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy Maguey Bay, known as Huatulco's giant natural pool. It's characterised by calm waves and the agave-green colour of its waters. Maguey Bay owes its name to the maguey plant, very common in the region and a symbol of Oaxacan culture. At this second stop, you can walk along its golden sand, swim, and sample delicious food cooked here in a wood-fired oven, such as pineapple stuffed with seafood, grilled fish, or a seafood speciality.

Playa del Órgano (Pass by)

This is the smallest of Huatulco's bays. Within it, you'll find the pristine beach "El Órgano," certified as a "Clean Sustainable Beach" and also holding the international Blue Flag certification, making it a conservation beach recognised for its quality and environmental preservation. Here we will observe the famous stone face or Mixtec face, a natural rock formation.
