Private Bays of Huatulco Catamaran Sail & Snorkel

Glide across nine jewel-coloured bays aboard a private catamaran, dropping anchor at hidden coves inaccessible by road for world-class snorkelling with sea turtles and rays. This is Huatulco's defining seascape experience — unhurried, exclusive, and utterly cinematic.

What to expect

Depart from Santa Cruz marina and sail west through Chahué, Tangolunda and the wild Cacaluta Bay — a UNESCO-protected lagoon famed for its untouched reef. Snorkelling stops reveal hawksbill sea turtles, colourful parrotfish and the occasional manta ray. A gourmet deck lunch of Oaxacan ceviche, fresh guacamole and chilled craft beverages is served mid-bay. The return sail at sunset turns the Pacific gold.
