Description

The experience is distinguished by offering more real time in the destinations, a careful and humane service, and logistics designed for you to enjoy without rush or crowds. We leave from strategic marinas closer to the island, which allows us to make better use of the day and reduce sailing times. We visit unspoilt and quiet beaches, snorkel with sea lions responsibly, and close the day in Balandra at sunset, one of the most special moments of the tour. All this accompanied by fresh Punta Baja style foods, drinks included, comfortable boats and certified guides that really engage in your experience. The same island... what changes is who you live with.

Fantastic Boat Tour!

We cannot recommend the tour enough! Everything about it from the beginning until the end was fantastic. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly and experts in marine biology. They added interesting stories and information along the boat rides. They were very respectful of the sanctuaries we visited doing their best to keep the areas protected during the tour. The beaches were gorgeous and snorkelling with the sea lions was a once in a lifetime experience. Throughout the trip we had unlimited drinks and snacks provided. For lunch, we had unlimited ceviche, some of the best we have ever had. The boat rides was smooth and at the end our captain Juan found some dolphins breaching allowing us to see them! Thank you Sam, Karen and Juan de Dios for making this an amazing experience!

This is definitely not a tourist trap!!!!

it was absolutely stunning, everything was perfect 😍😍😍 the best crew that I’ve ever met!! everyone was amazing I recommend 100%!!!!! The crew truly cares about the well-being of wild life and makes sure interactions with sea lions are respectful. We kept a safe distance at all times, it was actually the sea lions that came to us, making the experience feel authentic and ethical. And the food??? Just spectacular!!!! Thank you for allowing us to discover a part of your wonderful country 🥰🙏✨

The most excellent tour in La Paz!!!

Karen n Juan de Dios let an amazing tour.We had an excellent pick up they even put down a step so we wouldn't trip. They were so informational and good-humored.Made us feel so comfortable. We went to four places , and they brought the most delicious cerviche and tuna salad sandwiches- all we could eat!! They offered a variety of drinks-even cervezas! They kept us very safe and in the end, their equipment was so comfortable. They were so hospitable and kind I was able to buy a mask and a snorkel from them. I'll come back to them anytime and would totally recommend their tour--- with these particular two people Karen n Juan de Dios!!!

Amazing experience! Beautiful sights and snorkeling, our guide (I think his name was Sam) was a highlight as well! Very informative and made sure both Spanish and English speaking guests were informed throughout the full tour.
