6 reviewed
The Pacific is a long way south of the valley, over the Sierra Madre and down. These are the best coast trips to Huatulco, Puerto Escondido and the bays between: which fly and which drive, how many nights each needs, what the water is like at that time of year, and current prices.

Premium Huatulco boat tour with secret park beaches, snorkeling in clear water, and a relaxed lunch stop with included drinks.

Private, air-conditioned transfer between Oaxaca City and Puerto Escondido with bottled water, pro drivers, and door-to-lodging convenience.
“Alejandro our driver was so good - he is a very safe driver and knows the zigzag road well going to Oaxaca. Alejandro was also a great tour guide, very knowledgeable. He shared many interesting facts along the way. I think we made the right decision taking the private transfer to Oaxaca than the bus due to the windiness of the road.”
