This was an amazing day! Our guide, Argente, was great. Beautiful tour on the water, followed by snorkeling and a well-prepared lunch. Highly recommend this tour.
Fantastic experience. Highlight of the trip and one of the most beautiful places I’ve experienced around the world. Our captain made the trip so much fun. They looked after us so well making sure we were having the best time. Also accommodated my vegetarian girlfriend. Will return and book this every trip to Loreto.
The captain was fun and hospitable. The boat was clean and loved the tour -- the island was pristine, we snorkeled in two locations (with the sea lions and off the beach). Loved the beautiful turquoise water. We saw lots of beautiful fish and manta rays jumping out of the water. It was great! The only missed opportunity for this tour is sharing more about the area. My wife wanted to hear about the Loreto Bay National Park, its Unesco World Heritage designation, preservation efforts, the 5 islands and more about the Coronado Volcano. It also would have been fun to hike the volcano. I read hiking is allowed and there's a path. Maybe that's offered in a different tour.
Had a fantastic time snorkeling at Coronados Island with a small group — made the whole experience feel personal instead of crowded. The captain found us a quieter spot away from the other boats, which made a huge difference. He was friendly and attentive the entire time, and the food they provided was genuinely good, not just an afterthought. Nice touch having shade cover and chairs set up too, so you could relax comfortably between swims. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore the Sea of Cortez without the big-crowd feel. Will definitely book again next time we’re in the area!
Amazing day! Our captain was knowledgeable, helpful, and made us feel comfortable. The boat ride was gorgeous, and we got to snorkel with sea lions! Absolutely order the fish ceviche-the best we’ve had! Highly recommend!
Captain Argeni took very good care of us. He customized the trip to ensure that we were comfortable despite the very hot weather. He took us to a very nice cove away from the crowds. Lunch was great, highly recommend the ceviche!
This is a spectacular excursion. The snorkeling off the beach is mellow and the beach is an experience you must have.
Best day of my life to be honest. That might sound dramatic but I mean it. Snorkeling and seeing all sorts of fishes, plants, crabs, sea urchins!
The experience was great, 2nd time booked in 2 years and this tour to Coronados never disappoints. Order the Civeche it was amazing. Thanks again for a great experience.
Everthing was smooth. The inclusions, beer, lunch, chairs, towels as indicated and delivered. Nice day. Wish it was an hour longer. Out at 9.A.M. back at 1:00.
