An all day tour for nature lovers. I reccomend!
I did the tour to Ventanilla, Mazunte y Puerto Angel. It was a small and intimate group. Our guide Gabriel was excellent, easy going, informative and professional. I traveled solo and truly enjoyed it. We never felt rushed. The conservation efforts at Ventanilla are commendable. We went on a boat and saw tons of crocodiles, birds and turtles but my favorite were the white tail deer. I got to pet them and got kisses from one of them. The stop for lunch at Puerto Angel was great! Beautiful view and delicious fresh caught seafood. We also visited the nude beach Zipolite. Lastly we stoped at a woman’s cooperative that makes products like lotions, soaps, etc and another one to taste Mezcal, Cocoa, and other eatable products. The company had very good communication from beginning to end, very professional. The vehicles are clean and well maintained, and the tour prices are very competitive. It is an all day tour so be prepared for that. I recommend it if you are spending several days in Huatulco.
Response from the operator: We’re truly happy to hear that you enjoyed your tour to Ventanilla, Mazunte, Puerto Ángel, and Zipolite. It’s great to know that traveling solo felt comfortable and that the small group made your experience more personal and relaxed. Gabriel will be very glad to hear your kind words we’re proud to have guides who are passionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about our guests’ experience. We’re also delighted that you appreciated the conservation efforts at Ventanilla and had such special moments with the wildlife. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the fresh seafood in Puerto Ángel, the unique vibe of Zipolite, and the visits to the local cooperatives — supporting local communities is something we truly value. Thank you as well for recognizing our communication, vehicles, and overall service. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Huatulco for more amazing experiences in the future 🌴✨

From crocodiles to sunset on the beach
Great variety of experiences in one trip, from crocodiles, birds, and other wildlife, to village history and economies, to beach walking, chocolate and mescal tasting, and a terrific lunch on a beach palapa. The guide,Israel, was terrific. Highly professional in all aspects. Excellent communication and teaching skills, and a wealth of knowledge and local lore. I especially appreciated his knowledge of local endemic birds.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re thrilled that you enjoyed the rich variety of experiences. Israel will be delighted to hear your kind words about his professionalism, communication, and deep knowledge, especially his expertise with local endemic birds. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable experience.

Highly recommend trip and guide!
The variety of activities: crocodiles , birds, and wildlife; touring coastal villages; beach walks ; beachside lunch; etc, made for an highly educational and entertaining tour. The guide, Israel, Is excellent. He was very personable and at the same time professional. His explanations were very clear and timely. His knowledge of local history and natural history is excellent and he identified the wildlife and birds viewed on the trip in detail, providing natural history information of great interest to me. He is also an excellent driver, and made us feel relaxed and secure on rough and windy roads. I highly recommend this trip and guide, and hope to hire him as a local birding guide.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for this thoughtful and detailed review. We’re so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed the variety of activities—from observing crocodiles, birds, and other wildlife to visiting coastal villages, beach walks, and a relaxing lunch by the sea. Israel will be especially happy to hear your kind words about his professionalism, clear explanations, and deep knowledge of local and natural history. Thank you for the strong recommendation, and we would be delighted to help arrange a future birding tour with Israel.

Excellent trip to Ventanilla, Mazunte, Zipolite and Purrto Angel
Our guide Israe was an excellent driver, a very personable person, a knowledgeable naturalist. The Ventanillo experience with the crocodiles was fascinating and informative. I liked that one large family was in charge of the reserve. After the LaGuardia we went through Maxine to taste some Mescal, then to Zipolite to walk the beach and to Puerto Angel for dinner. We had a most pleasant day (from 10:30 to 7:30), our host Israel was the best and the ride was comfortable. Highly recommended.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear you had such a wonderful day with Israel. He truly is an excellent driver and a passionate naturalist who loves sharing his knowledge. We’re glad you enjoyed the Ventanilla crocodile reserve and learning about how the local family cares for it. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon!

Our tour guide Edgar was...
Our tour guide Edgar was very friendly and nice. The tour was fun to do and scary lol when coming up close with the alligators, the only sucky part was we were not able to get in the water in puerto angle even though even was mention on the itinerary.
Response from the operator: So glad you had fun! Those alligator moments are definitely a thrill 😅 Hope to see you on another adventure soon! 🐢

Tour Cocodrilos en Ventanilla, Mazunte, Zipolite+ Libera tortugas: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Huatulco.
How much does Tour Cocodrilos en Ventanilla, Mazunte, Zipolite+ Libera tortugas cost?
+
Prices start at $55 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Huatulco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tour Cocodrilos en Ventanilla, Mazunte, Zipolite+ Libera tortugas take?
+
Plan for about 7.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Huatulco is not rushed.
Is Tour Cocodrilos en Ventanilla, Mazunte, Zipolite+ Libera tortugas worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 101 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Huatulco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tour Cocodrilos en Ventanilla, Mazunte, Zipolite+ Libera tortugas?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Tour Cocodrilos en Ventanilla, Mazunte, Zipolite+ Libera tortugas suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tour Cocodrilos en Ventanilla, Mazunte, Zipolite+ Libera tortugas?
+
Around 35 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Huatulco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Huatulco and add a light layer if any part of the 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tour Cocodrilos en Ventanilla, Mazunte, Zipolite+ Libera tortugas start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Huatulco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Huatulco?
+
On Outty we rank every Huatulco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour to Copalitilla Magical Waterfalls from Huatulco with admission included, Huatulco Ocean Eco Adventures, Huatulco: Waterfalls & Oaxacan Food. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Huatulco?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Huatulco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
