7 Days in Huatulco

DAY ONE

On the first day/night of your arrival, you’ll likely want to relax and enjoy the benefits of your rental. So why not let us bring the service to you? Take advantage of our Arrival Day Package which includes the first three meals of your stay (i.e. dinner on arrival night with breakfast and lunch the following day), pre-arrival alcohol/beverage stocking at the property, and all groceries for each meal - freshly prepared & served in the comfort of your vacation home (clean-up included). If you’re staying in a resort, you might want to enjoy the on-site restaurants!

DAY TWO

Get an early start and preview the coastline. Plan which beach you like best, by taking a 5 hour day-time trip on your own boat where you’ll experience all of Huatulco’s 36 beaches and 9 bays! You’ll want to leave bright and early in order to catch the calm water. If you’re feeling ambitious, dive in the water with the snorkel equipment provided on board! The boat crew will find some of the best snorkelling and swimming spots in the area, all while educating you on the many natural wonders along the way!

DAY THREE

Wake up to a leisurely morning. For Breakfast, head to Cafe Huatulco in Santa Cruz to start your day off right! Spend the rest of your day relaxing and people watching on Santa Cruz beach! After that, look for the cobblestone pathway connecting Santa Cruz to La Crucecita and get to know the local town! If you happen to be in Huatulco on a Saturday, you might also want to visit the Organic Market (Saturdays Only). Also centered around the main square in La Crucecita, are a number of awesome restaurant options to choose from for dinner!

DAY FOUR

Take a day trip to the waterfalls; they are truly beautiful beyond words! You will be gone a full day (10am - 5pm) since trips to the waterfalls are usually bundled with trips to the coffee plantations. (DISCLAIMER: The ride up and back is very bumpy - be prepared!) Your time at the waterfall will be spent cooling off in the water, and admiring the view. After hiking up to the falls, you will find a tiny plantation and an awesome meal ready for you!

DAY FIVE

Rent a car for the day and visit surfer’s paradise; Puerto Escondido! The drive to P.E. should take you about an hour to an hour and a half. Puerto Escondido is known for its many beaches and buzzing nightlife! If you’re a surfer, head to Zicatela Beach for its renowned pipeline surf break. If you’re interested in learning how to surf, the neighboring beach - La Punta Beach - has smaller waves! In the evening, sunset-watching is a MUST! At Zicatela, you can watch the sun go down behind the surfers - truly a sight to see!

DAY SIX

Get all your souvenir shopping out of the way! You’ll find vendors and souvenirs all around in La Crucecita & Santa Cruz. To take home the ultimate souvenir - Oaxaca's unique and notable culinary trademarks - jump into a cooking class with our local culinary expert, Alfredo Patiño. If you are a guest of ours, we can bring this class right to your vacation home! You’ll be able to share your new skills from this experience with your friends and family back home! When you’re done, quickly get out of the kitchen and get back into relaxation! Hangout by the pool, or enjoy a poolside in-house massage!

DAY SEVEN

If you’re an early riser, head to La Entrega beach before the crowds start swarming! Around 7 am the beach is quiet and empty except for the tour guide ready to take you out on any excursion of your choice (note: you will have access to lockers while you go out)! If you’re feeling ambitious, rent some paddle boards from Santa Cruz beach and paddle away to la Entraga! Then rent some snorkel equipment and witness all the beauty down under! For your last dinner in town (la Crucecita), try El Grillo Marinero; a local family owned restaurant best known for grilled seafood! (Tip: Ask for the scallops! It’s not on the menu) To end the night, go mezcal tasting at El Tonel Mezcal & Bar and pick one to take home!
