Very fun and very friendly and attentive staff, in the accommodation perhaps the room could be better, not because it was ugly or dirty, it was in excellent condition, but they promoted with a small balcony and gave us one with only a window
A must do in Puerto López

It's been one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. Wonderful humpback whale watching with respectful approach. The hike to the Island allowed us to see the different birds in their habitat, at all times accompanied by the guide and his explanations, is totally worth it. We snorkeled with turtles. Very remarkable is that each trip allows the foundation to conduct research to protect and conserve these beautiful animals. The agency’s guides and researchers are very friendly people, always attentive to us and with great enthusiasm. Scientific tourism and excellence. 100% recommended!
Very cool experience

Palo Santo Travel in puerto López is a great company. They do work with whale researchers as well, sending out a marine biologist on each trip to photograph the whales for an international database.
