Incredible and extreme visit to San Jose del Pacifico
The service from the time I sent a message via Whats to the time we were given the service was always excellent and they solved all my doubts. Our Driver and Guide Emmanuel was certainly an important part of making this trip unique as his recommendations were excellent and apart made the trip very enjoyable and shared a lot of information about the place and Oaxaca in general.
Response from the operator: ¡Muchas gracias por tus amables palabras! Nos alegra mucho saber que tu experiencia fue positiva. Para nosotros, es muy importante que cada visitante se lleve una experiencia única de Oaxaca, y nos da gusto haberlo logrado en tu caso. ¡Esperamos verte de nuevo en futuras aventuras con Oaxaca Dreams!

10/10
Javier was a great driver. He was very friendly and considerate of all our needs. He gave us information about all of the stops and activities as well as the different areas we passed. He stayed well beyond the time of the excursion to make sure we all experienced the activities we wanted and that we all ate before getting back on the road even though it meant him waiting and driving for an extra amount of time.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! Our team is dedicated to providing exceptional service, and it's great to know that Javier's efforts made a positive impact on your trip. We’ll be sure to pass along your compliments to him. We hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable adventures in Oaxaca! Safe travels!

Awesome Eco-tour
Very enjoyable day tour to explore mountain towns and hiking to a waterfall with a small group. Out tour guide, Adir and driver Emanuel were excellent. Adir was informative, entertaining and clearly enjoys his job. My family members enjoyed this trip more than the other day tours to Monte Alban and Hierve El Agua because it was less touristy. Everyone liked the drive in the open air on the back of the truck though the forest.
Response from the operator: That´s Good News, Thank you for the preference!!! saludos.

Awesome San Jose Del Pacifico Tour
There was bad weather in Sierra Juarez so we went to some other mountains to the south called San Jose del Pacifico! Wow! This was amazing ! We got to swing from really cool mountain swings and that overlooks the mountains! We even went to a really rustic but awesome mezcal distillery that makes amazing mezcales you could only find there! A long day but an awesome day ! Highly recommend !

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
San Jose del Pacifico Tour “Amid Clouds”: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.
How much does San Jose del Pacifico Tour “Amid Clouds” cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oaxaca City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does San Jose del Pacifico Tour “Amid Clouds” take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Oaxaca City is not rushed.
Is San Jose del Pacifico Tour “Amid Clouds” worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oaxaca City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule San Jose del Pacifico Tour “Amid Clouds”?
+
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 San Jose del Pacifico Tour “Amid Clouds” suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book San Jose del Pacifico Tour “Amid Clouds”?
+
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 Oaxaca City 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 Oaxaca City and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does San Jose del Pacifico Tour “Amid Clouds” 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 Oaxaca City 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 Oaxaca City?
+
On Outty we rank every Oaxaca City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include AUTHENTIC OAXACA CULTURAL FOOD TOUR, eat like a local., Hierve el Agua 2.5 hours, Mitla, Tule, Rugs and Mezcal for a Day, Traditional Oaxaqueña Cooking with Grandma's Recipes. 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 Oaxaca City?
+
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 Oaxaca City?
+
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.
