This large park boasts a gorgeous, unspoilt coast of picturesque rocky cliffs and empty golden beaches, with incredible marine life to snorkel with. I experienced the park only from the coast, having hired a boat with a captain and skipper to take us to the best snorkeling spots. The boatride itself is highly recommended, spectacular.

Outstanding places to know, both Oaxaca and Huatulco.

Food is splendid, not expensive, best not very expensive accomodations in Oaxaca Casa Abu and in Huatulco Quinta Bella, and move by Taxi for around $2 USD...and fly out of the area straight from Huatulco...and not very populated places. The best beach in Huatulco Playa La Entrega, you can reach it by boat or by Taxi, excellent food and be ready for swim in tranquil waters. Visit el Embarcadero in La Crucesita, and swim there as well and eat and drink best cool...

It was very disturbing to witness, and is one of the reasons the coral is no longer vibrant. He also grabbed a puffer fish, coral, and sea urchins for photo-ops and I don’t believe this kind of behaviour should be allowed at a “protected eco park”…Please try to work on educating the guides/ships to protect your gorgeous marine life. When I went previously with WestJet excursions, they were very respectful and ensured we all wear...
