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.

Great tour from a solid tour company. It's a full experience, highly educational and fun. It's pretty much a full day out and around Isla Espiritu and La Partida. The beach area between the islands, where you stop for lunch is absolutely fantastic. Great snorkeling at the reef we stopped at (forgot the name) and the boat ride itself is nicely shaded and fairly comfortable. Omar (guide) really knows his stuff and shares lots of good information. The captain is fantastic as well. Great value, super fun and highly recommended!
We had a great experience with Sam and the Captain. We did swim with the sea lions, spent time on some great beaches, saw lots of fish on the corral reef. The ceviche and the tuna salad were delicious as well! I can’t recommend this tour enough!
Amazing experience and one of the best tour guides ever. Lorenza and Christian really managed to create a unique tour for us. They are extremely competent and great to spend time with. Loved everything
Excellent excursion and great guide Mara and Christian, super good lunch on a dream beach
Very friendly guide and captain, Maja and Cris Small group of people (4) 👌 highly recommend
We came with a group of 10 and got a private boat! The 3 guides were incredibly kind, funny, and knowledgeable about the island and all the wildlife. Even though we went in the offseason, we saw mobula rays & blue footed boobies, swam with sea lions, and there were THOUSANDS of fish. They also brought an underwater camera and took photos of our group swimming free of charge, which I did not expect but was such a nice touch! We did 2 snorkel stops and ate on a lovely beach, with ceviche, chips, and wafers prepared by the crew. The 7ish hour trip felt like it went by in a flash. Was worth every penny and more!
Our family has taken several snorkel tours and this was one of the best! The MTA guides were so knowledgeable and passionate about the the marine life and ecosystem of Espiritu Island. It is truly a special place to explore. There were only 10 people on our tour so it was nice to be part of a small group. The ceviche lunch was plentiful and delicious. I highly recommend MTA and visiting Espiritu Santo!
The snorkeling experience was beautiful. The guide was informative and took great care of us. Would definitely recommend.
We had an amazing experience with Black Fin Tours in La Paz! Fernando and Alexis were outstanding guides. They were friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the marine life and the history of the national park. You can tell they’re passionate about what they do, and they made the entire tour both fun and educational. Everything was well organized, and they were right on time, which made the day stress-free. The ceviche they served was fresh and delicious, and it was such a great addition to an already fantastic experience. If you’re looking for a tour company in La Paz, we highly recommend the Black Fin. Thank you, Fernando and Alexis, for making our family’s trip so memorable!
Really good experience with Alberto and team, they are very punctual and with a lot of patience! We have a first timer in our family to do snorkeling and the team was very caring! Ceviche was good and they shared a lot of information and knowledge about the marine animals.
