April 30, Huatulco

Today we are in Mexico at Huatulco. We are doing a princess tour today



Nine bays bordered by 36 golden-sand beaches form the beautiful Las Bahias de Huatulco in the state of Oaxaca.

Welcome to Mexico's newest resort on the Pacific Riviera. Huatulco is a tropical Eden with crystalline waters, coral reefs, and uncrowded beaches. Inland, the rugged coast range is thickly carpeted with rainforest and coffee plantations. While Huatulco is still in its early stages of development, travelers may note that the resort has a different feel from other destinations on the Mexican Riviera. That's because large areas of Huatulco have been designated as an ecological reserve. Huatulco is located in the state of Oaxaca where the foothills of the Sierra Madre del Sur Mountains meet the Pacific Ocean

Tour Overview

Huatulco's major attractions are its picturesque bays and sun-drenched coastline, with the jagged Sierra Madre Mountains as a striking back-drop. This resort area is fast becoming a favorite tourist destination. The secluded coves and sandy beaches found along this stretch of Mexico's Pacific coast provide the ideal setting for seaside resorts and water activities.
Board a comfortable motorized catamaran-style vessel for a relaxing scenic cruise from the harbor to Tangolunda Bay, viewing the area's natural beauty and surrounding resorts as you cruise the azure seas. Some of the sights you'll see are the unusual rock formations at Organo Bay, tranquil Maguey Bay and Chahue Bay.
Pass Santa Cruz Bay with its gorgeous beaches, and see the impressive blowhole located nearby.
Your local guide will provide an informative commentary and answer any questions you may have about this wonderful coastal haven.
For your enjoyment there's an open bar on board, serving domestic drinks and a snack.
Arriving back at the marina, board an air-conditioned transportation for the second phase of the tour, which takes you to the charming town of La Crucesita.
Take photos at the Tangolunda viewpoint and the estuary of the Copalita River.
Admire the picturesque tree-lined streets and central plaza of La Crucesita.
En route back to the pier, enjoy one final photo stop at the La Entrega viewpoint offering panoramic views of your ship in the port, along with the dazzling crescent of white sand beach and emerald waters that comprise La Entrega Beach.



The day went just as planned. The boat trip cane first and then the bus. My only complaint was the heat. It was like stepping into a furnace. I am so glad we choose a tour on the water.







We did the boat tour first and then the bus tour. Fortunately the bus was air conditioned, and on the boat they served lots of beverages. I was so glad to get back to the air conditioned ship.

This community is spelled HUATULCO
