A beautiful place to snorkel!
The snorkeling was great. Saw a lot of colorful fish and two spotted eagle rays. Lunch was delicious and tasty local food. Jorge was a friendly, knowledgeable guide. Had some trouble finding him, so would suggest a more detailed place to meet as the marina is quite spread out.

Great service but coral reef is dead
The tour company and guide were informative, prompt and helpful. However, sadly, the coral reef at Entrega Bay is nearly dead due to over-tourism, chemicals and warming. We would recommend the same tour company but go to the national park instead if you want to snorkel and actually see beautiful fish. Just don’t wear sunscreen either chemicals in it!!

Wow. Snorkeling trip 5 Stars.
One of the best. I am 88 years old and had great time. Our guide was helpful in every way and ensured a safe and wonderful snorkeling trip.

Excellent Family Snorkeling tour
Great for cruise passengers. Much more personal than being on a ship booked excursion with a bus load of people. Our tour was just my wife & I so much more personal. Our guide Mario was wonderful! Was at the meeting point at the entrance of Santa Cruz pier on time & provided lots of history and was very knowledgeable about the area and especially snorkeling, the fish & plants. Even took underwater photos and videos of us underwater with the various fish seen and airdropped them to us at no extra cost (extra tip). Would definitely book with them again.

The best snorkeling ever! What a fantastic experience!
It ended up only being the two of us for this tour. I did not go snorkeling, but my husband did. The tour guide found me a shaded place on the beach to sit and wait. I was able to order chips, salsa and guacamole and a drink while they went snorkeling. My partner said that it was some of the best snorkeling he had ever done. We were on the cruise and I watched the cruise tour go snorkeling and I later heard complaints from the tour. Not on ours, it was great!

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Shore Excursion Premium Family Snorkeling Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Huatulco.
How much does Shore Excursion Premium Family Snorkeling Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $69 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 Shore Excursion Premium Family Snorkeling Experience take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Shore Excursion Premium Family Snorkeling Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 6 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 Shore Excursion Premium Family Snorkeling Experience?
+
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 Shore Excursion Premium Family Snorkeling Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Shore Excursion Premium Family Snorkeling Experience?
+
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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Shore Excursion Premium Family Snorkeling Experience 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.
