We have never seen as many dolphins as we did when off the coast of Puerto Escondido. We saw both white tail and spotted, and literally HUNDREDS of them just playing all around us.

A morning tour with Deep Blue Divers took us up and down the coastline to see dolphins, sea turtles, and even a 25 ton humpback whale with her baby.
