The most memorable part of this half-day outing is the chance to release a baby sea turtle into the Pacific. You also visit a crocodile farm, then cruise Tres Palos Lagoon by small motorboat, where mangrove channels, water hyacinths, palms, and bird-filled shores replace Acapulco’s busy beachfront.

I like the mix of hands-on conservation and quiet nature. I also like that hotel pickup, bottled water, the boat trip, and lunch are built into the price. The main drawback is the pace: with several stops packed into five or six hours, you may have limited time at each place.
