Para nuestro primer viaje internacional en familia, esta salida nos pareció muy bien armada. Salimos a horario, el traslado fue puntual y el guía explicó cómo acercarnos sin molestar a los delfines. Vimos varios grupos y hasta una tortuga cerca de la lancha. Duró lo prometido, sin tiempos muertos; por lo que cuesta, la relación precio-calidad resulta excelente.
Our boat group was small, cheerful, and surprisingly quiet whenever dolphins surfaced—then everyone yelled at once. We spotted several pods, watched sea turtles near the reef, and had time for snorkeling and swimming in a calm blue cove. The crew kept things relaxed, sharing funny local stories without turning the trip into a lecture. A pelican even tried to steal our guide’s snack. Great mix of wildlife, water, and easygoing holiday vibes.
Fomos em família, com duas crianças, na baixa temporada, e o passeio de observação de golfinhos em Puerto Escondido foi lindo. Saímos no horário combinado; a van chegou às 7h55 no hotel e o embarque aconteceu sem correria. O mar estava calmo, passamos por praias de areia clara e vimos golfinhos perto das falésias, além de tartarugas. O retorno também foi pontual, com espaço para as crianças descansarem. Tudo bem organizado, sem esperas chatas — milagre familiar!
Schon die frühe Bootsfahrt vor Puerto Escondido war ein Erlebnis: Wir hielten Ausschau nach Delfinen, beobachteten Meeresschildkröten und bekamen Zeit zum Schwimmen im ruhigen Wasser. Unser Guide Mateo kannte die Küste hervorragend und erklärte sogar, warum sich die Delfine an diesem Morgen nahe dem Felsen von Zicatela sammelten. Er blieb geduldig, half uns beim Einsteigen und passte das Tempo angenehm an unser Alter an.
En plein été, j’avais une escale professionnelle à Puerto Escondido et j’en ai profité pour faire cette sortie. L’équipe Tangol a répondu en français à mes questions et m’a confirmé l’horaire la veille par WhatsApp, avec un message très clair. Rendez-vous à la plage à 7 h 30, embarquement rapide, puis navigation le long de la côte avant de chercher les dauphins. On a aussi observé des tortues et quelques raies ; le guide expliquait sans réciter un discours. Retour prévu vers 10 h 30, tout s’est déroulé à l’heure. Rythme tranquille, organisation vraiment impeccable.
