If you truly want to get to know rural Mexico at an intimate level, this shore excursion is the perfect choice for you.

This cruise tour starts with a convenient pick-up and at Huatulco’s main pier. In this journey, you'll get to know more about rural Mexico and the underlying culture that moves this entire region forward.

The first stop is a local community that is perfectly representative of everyday life in Mexico. The community of Piedra de Moros is a pocket community that is close-knit but presents the opportunity to learn a lot about Mexican culture in a short period of time. In this sleepy little village, you'll learn about the ancient holistic healing practices that people in this region have been using for centuries and what herbs are used to help natives recover from illness and injuries.

From there, you'll be brought to a Nopal plantation. These iconic cactuses are native to the region and have served as an important part of Mexican culture for centuries. You'll learn about the plantation way of life and discover what sets this region apart from others around the world.

You’ll be tempted not to move from the golden sand of the beach, but Bahía San Agustín has some of the best snorkelling in Huatulco, with crystal clear waters and a reef just metres from the shore with an abundance of life like sea urchins, rays and bright shoals of tropical fish. This shoreline excursion is perfect for those that want an authentic experience on their cruise tour vacation.
