Great tour!! Highly recommend
Amazing tour!! Christian was a great tour guide. Was very knowledgeable and is very friendly! We started out snorkeling in La Entraga. It was fantastic, great weather and he gave us extra time to snorkel. Took us into the adjacent cave as well. He took us to some great look outs where we took pictures. The hikes were nice both in the forest and on the beaches. At the end of our tour he dropped us off at a nice restaurant in La Crucecita recommended by him. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who likes to hike and snorkel!!
Response from the operator: Thanks a lot for the review!!

Great exploration day!
We booked this tour looking for a great four to five hour snorkel and hike and that's exactly what we got. Cristian picked us up on time and gave us a history lesson as we traveled to a couple beautiful lookout points before heading to the beach for snorkeling. We are novice snorkelers and while Cristian made sure our equipment was fitted properly, we probably could have used a bit of an overview of how the snorkeling was going to unfold, e.g. where we were going, what to look for, and what to expect. Other than that the snorkel was wonderful. He took us around the corral reef and then into a cave which was really cool. We saw lots of different fish and always felt safe and in control. Following our snorkel, we headed for our hike. The trail is well used and it is not a hard hike. Cristian was excellent in explaining some of the natural birds and conditions that impact the forest. The creme on the top was when you come out of the jungle you end up at a beautiful beach where you can see many turtle nesting sites and you have the opportunity to swim in the ocean. Normally there is also a local business that can provide drinks and food, but it was open the day we were there. The hike back from the beach to the vehicle took some time (about an hour) but was an easy walk through the jungle. You also get to see some farms, that are growing pineapples, bananas, among other things. We wrapped up the tour by going to La Crucecita where Cristian showed us around the town and helped us buy some local cheese. All in all it was a great few hours. We saw and learned about many things that we would not have, had we not gone on this tour. Only advice would be that have good sandals for walking as it is approximately three kilometers both ways.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the comment!

An enjoyable and low key day
Cristian our guide communicated with us very well before the excursion and provided a small group experience (2 couples) that was very fun. He was flexible with our schedule and we never felt “herded”. We first took in some spectacular viewpoints along the coast and then snorkeled in Playa La Entrega, a very popular beach. The bay was large enough for snorkeling without crowding and a there was a decent variety of fish to see. The seabed was in sad shape due to exposure to manmade chemicals (shampoo, soap, etc. coming off the swimmers). We then went to Hualtuco National Park for a hike through the jungle. The hike was hot and the jungle sparse it being the end of the dry season, but we found it interesting. The payoff was coming out to Playa Cacaluta, a very deserted and beautiful beach with a couple of small shacks selling water, beer, and snacks. The swimming appeared to be treacherous so we just enjoyed the solitude of nature. We hiked back along the road to the beach, passing several small farms. Cristian finished our tour with a drive around the area pointing out the various neighborhoods and bays.
Response from the operator: Thanks a lot Tim for the review!

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hiking - Snorkeling in the National Park and City tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Huatulco.
How much does Hiking - Snorkeling in the National Park and City tour cost?
+
Prices start at $60 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 Hiking - Snorkeling in the National Park and City tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Hiking - Snorkeling in the National Park and City tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Huatulco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hiking - Snorkeling in the National Park and City tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Hiking - Snorkeling in the National Park and City tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hiking - Snorkeling in the National Park and City tour?
+
Around 2 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hiking - Snorkeling in the National Park and City tour 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 Huatulco Ocean Eco Adventures, Tour to Copalitilla Magical Waterfalls from Huatulco with admission included, Huatulco: Waterfalls, Zipline & 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.
