We visited Eco Adventures and talked to Juan for the bioluminescence tour. Juan was not honest about the tour. He said that we would see both white and blue plankton because he said that he had seen blue plankton the previous night. There was no blue plankton, only white. He also said that we had to go that night because the moon was getting brighter as it was a waxing crescent and the brighter the moon, the less you could see the plankton. This was also a lie because when you get to the lagoon, you go inside a tent over the water where the moonlight is irrelevant. If they're not honest about the bioluminescence tour, they're probably not honest about any other tour. I recommend you avoid Eco Adventures. On a positive note, our driver to/from the lagoon was very nice and helpful.

WHAT A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! The beach alone was truly magnificent! Our guide was kind and very informative. What I loved about THIS turtle release, is that it is not as commercial as other ones and we each got about 7 babies to release!!! (Other tours that I looked into do not let each person have a bowl of turtles!) I was already forewarned that some of the babies will not successfully make it all the way to the water because of the vigilant seagulls & frigates! But some do, and they are only 2 hours old when you release them - so it is amazing to see them automatically scamper towards the water. Then, we were able to enjoy a splendid sunset on the beach and on the ride back - we enjoyed cervezas and waters!

Absolutely loved this tour. Unfortunately we were not able to find an English speaking guide and none of us knew more than very basic Spanish. We were able to still enjoy the trip and find dolphins, turtles and whales! What an incredible experience!

The bioluminescence was a magnificent sight and it was fun to play in the water at night. The experience included a driver who seemed really impatient to get to the experience, get back in the boat, and drive us all back home. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone else who is sensitive to bright and/or flashing lights. I spent the time when the boat was moving with my eyes closed—the flashlights the boat operators use to navigate and communicate are blinding (pro tip: Sit behind the boat operator so you don’t get blinded!)

Our guide Juan Carlos gave us the best day on the coast! We did the Oaxacan coast tour and got to visit an island with crocodiles and feed deer, go snorkeling and see colorful reef fish, and visit various sites along the coast. We also had a cacao and mezcal tasting and he took us to a great beachside restaurant for lunch. Bring bug repellent (there are vendors you can buy it from for around 100 pesos) for the island visit. Also bring some cash for breakfast. We had a nice breakfast on the island near the crocodiles. That was around 400 pesos for two people. Plus they ask you to tip the boat captain who brings you to the island. On the boat there is no shade so also bring a hat. The lunch spot was great for super fresh seafood and took credit cards. I would definitely recommend this tour and Juan Carlos. It was a highlight of our trip.

We we went on two tours with Eco Adventures - releasing baby turtles and Dolphin watching tour - both of which we greatly enjoyed. Efrain and his brother were fantastic at communicating about both tours and showed up on time with smiles on their faces. Very well run and reliable tour agency that I would highly recommend! The Dolphin Watching Tour was particularly memorable - we saw hundreds of dolphins, a whale and some large sea turtles!

It was amazing, efrain was an amazing guide and brought us to this small location, where the 3 of us (my girlfriend me and Efrain) took off in our kayaks. The view was nothing like I ever seen before. Beautiful birds everywhere. An other comment said it reminded them of jurassic Park and I can only agree. What an amazing experience, I would recommend it to everyone.

Eco Adventures are wonderful! Super-responsive on WhatsApp, with superb staff. We went on a dolphin and whale-watching tour with them, and our boat captain was hugely knowledgeable - we were often the only boat with a school of dolphins, which gave us plenty of opportunity to jump in and swim with them in an experience we’ll never forget. We took a tour down the coast with Juan Carlos, who was an excellent guide, and really responsive to what we needed. A really brilliant company working in a really responsible and kind way.

We had the most amazing experiences in Puerto Escondido, some of them the highlight of our trip thanks to Eco Adventures. During our stay, we did 3 tours with them: Chacahua National Park, Dolphin Tour and Sunset Horse Ride. Pick up was always on time and they communicated well on whatsapp, reminding what to bring to before the tour. Super thankful they managed to squeeze us in for the sunset ride last minute too! Juan Carlos Gama was our guide for two of the three tours, he spoke in fluent English providing good explanations of the wildlife in the park and was super sweet in checking in on us regularly and took some amazing photos & videos for us! For the Chacahua National Park, it was an amazing and surreal experience being amongst the mangroves watching beautiful birds around. After the boat ride, you get a few hours on the beach for lunch & swim. We went near NYE so it was crowded with locals but we had some delicious freshly caught fish for lunch! It ended up being a private tour with just the two of us and we were amazed to see the bioluminescent planktons at night under the starry night. You can swim there at night but we didn’t end up going in. It is a long day given it’s a 1.5 hour drive away but worth it in my opinion! The Dolphin tour with Captain Ezy was one of our trip highlights. We saw hundreds of dolphins, a string ray, a water snake and even caught sight of a humpback whale! Bring sunscreen and a dry bag! It can get quite choppy out there and when we catch sight of wildlife, we accelerate towards to it to get a closer view so you can imagine it can be a bit bumpy but it’s all good fun! The sunset horse ride was very scenic, the route winding through farms, crossing rivers and ending on the beach for sunset. The horses do seem well trained but there were a few instances of a few misbehaving (sitting down or starting to gallop). The guides were good at rushing to help however not all speak English. We have been horse riding before so we knew how to control the horse for the most part, if you are afraid or tentative about horses then perhaps this is not the best for you to start with. You get the chance to try galloping on the beach which was an amazing experience! The ride back after sunset was quite dark but horses have great night vision and know where they are going. You can bring a head torchlight but make sure you bring insect repellant and spray ALL over - the mosquitos come out after sunset and they are vicious! We had the best memorable experiences in Puerto Escondido thanks to Eco Adventures and Juan Carlos. The whole booking process, logistics and tours were the easiest and most stress-free of all the tours we did in Mexico.

This was an incredible experience with an excellent tour guide. We were picked up and dropped of from outside of our hostel and received ice cold beer and water on the drive there and back. Would highly recommend this tour. Excellent value.

They cancelled my tour on the same day, because there wasn't enough people. Unfortunately I had already paid for my tour, and they told me they would do the reimbursement immediately. It´s been almost 1 month since it happened and I haven´t received it so far. I try to communicate with the daily, and they only keep saying that I had to wait for 15 business days (which already happened), and NO REIMBURSEMENT, so far. I do not recommend this agency.

We did two excursion with Eco Adventures and both were great. The bioluminescent lagoon (Laguna Manialtepec) one night and the dolphin watching the next morning. this outfit is well-organized. The rides picked us up on time. Handoffs between the driver and boat captains were smooth. Everyone was friendly and informative. Nothing felt rushed or harried. For the bioluminescent lagoon, forget about the open lagoon and head for the floating tents. It's much darker in there and you can see about twice as much glowing. Try to avoid brighter nights (clear, full moon)--the darker the better. For the dolphins, we saw probably a hundred. We also saw two sea turtles getting it on, which was hot. for me, the boat ride and the Puerto Escondido skyline from the ocean was cooler than the dolphin viewing itself, but I've done several dolphin things in the past. Highly recommend either or both of these excursions.

How do people not see that this is a a business and not conservation? If they truly cared about the preservation of these turtles they would not allow Instagram happy strangers to participate. Instead, professional handlers would release them whilst those truly interested in the process could donate. Additionally, the time of day they release them is not conducive to a release program. Sunset is for happy snaps and not for their chance of survival. The vast majority dont make it to the water. It's as if, once you pay, you own the turtle. Disgusting in every way. If you care about tutle, donate to a real conservation group and stay away from this proftering ritual!

Excellent service from the driver/guide. The introduction and explanation at the site was a bit sterile and short, they should invest more on the teaching part. Overall, a good experience but the cultural/knowledge part of it is lacking.

We had a great experience! The hotel pick up and drop off made the experience accessible. Our driver Mario was friendly and provided bottled water for us. The beach where we released the turtles was quiet and we released them during sunset. The conservation volunteers spoke both English and Spanish and were knowledgeable about the different species and ensured the turtle safety throughout the release.
