Adventure to Espiritu Santo Island: Snorkel with Sea Lions and Beach
Description
Espiritu Santo Island is an incredible paradise that you will never forget! The experience of swimming with sea lions is very nice, they are playful and they usually come close to interact with the swimmers. (During the months of June, July, and August, swimming with sea lions in their rookery is not allowed, so we just see them from the boat and snorkel and/or hike at another site of the island) We always try to take our clients to the beaches where there are less people, so that they get a unique experience with the feeling of adventure that we like so much. Finally, learning about the history of the ancient settlers, the fauna and flora of the area, the current lifestyle of the locals, and being accompanied by marine biologist guides will make your day a very enriching one. It can only be visited on boats with permits and certified guides.

Alejandro and Christian were wonderful guides. We learned about the islands and the ride was smooth. We were all very relaxed and comfortable. We will be booking again when we return with our family.
It was a pretty easy, smooth experience. The 3 guides, Fernando Mariana and Christian were very friendly & informative. After 2 snorkel destinations with a ton of fish & sea lions, we hit a 3rd destination which was a pristine, desolate, beach, where they set up a tent, ceviche, and Lemonade. Just dreamy! In all this is a six hour expedition so it will take your entire day. The boat does not have any kind of back rests so you need to rely on your own body strength.
Genuinely one of the most magical experiences we’ve had. Christian was our captain and Alberto was our guide. They were both incredibly knowledgeable about the ecosystems in the area, were accommodating for our allergies, and made the trip that much better. The ocean was truly remarkable, and the whole trip was really well balanced. I could not recommend this place enough.
Very pleasant contact with nature. Having Lorenza, our guide, Cristian, our captain, and Omar share their knowledge with us enriched this tour. At times, we had experiences that are once in a lifetime. We didn't bring back shells or photos, but we did have a nice connection with nature that stays with us. Thank you.
One of the best trip ever. Our guide Mateo is a marine biologist and has wealth of information. Made every minute interesting. Snorkeling few different places and with sea lions. Lunch on private beach with super clear water. Christian the boat captain was very good too. We will book another trip with them next time.
Very good experience. The guide Omar was very attentive.
This was one of the best tours I’ve been on. We’re not really the ‘tour type’ but we were looking for something fun to do on our vacation for my partner’s birthday and the reviews for this were so good. It far exceeded our expectations! The snorkeling was incredible. We saw so much amazing wildlife: dolphins, birds, Mobula rays, sea lions, and so many kinds of fish. Maja, Christian, and Omar were incredible guides, so knowledgeable, kind and fun! They taught us a ton about the local ecology and history of the area. 10/10, would recommend this to anyone and would do it all over again.
We had an incredible time thanks to the guides, who taught us and explained every animal we saw. We swam with sea lions and snorkeled in reefs. 100% recommended.
My daughter & I had a wonderful day on this tour!! We highly recommend it. The only thing I would say is that we had a hard time finding the meeting point. Otherwise, it was an absolutely perfect day. Our guide & captain were so kind & helpful. They made us a beautiful lunch and were extremely knowledgeable about the area we visited. 10 stars!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Boat captain Cristian was amazing and very friendly and experienced! Maja is an incredible guide, giving clear instructions while on the trip, including many things about the flora and fauna and past history. It was a beautiful trip. Worth it!
