What are people saying about La Paz

Olivier_Q, May 2026

Highly recommended

The tours to Espiritu island all looks the same, so I chose this one and I really did not regret. Alex was the guide, and Christian the captain. They both did a great job of entertaining us during the entire tour. Alex was very generous with information and all questions were welcomed. The tour itself was well organized, the sailing was smooth, snorkeling was great, a bit of current, but Alex lead through this. I would definitely take other tours with these guys. Thanks.

Full Day Gray Whale Watching Experience

Grey whales getting close

Make sure to bring a thin jacket if you are prone to freezing easily. You will be served a lunch with softdrinks. The lunch was the worst we had during our 14-day trip. They said that it would be the last week for whale watching and that only 50 whales were still in the bay. However, we could see quite a few pretty close to the boat. Every now and then sticking there head out of the water. The boat trip was partially a bit bumpy. Keep it in mind in case you are prone to seasickness.

Loved this experience

Great respect for nature and the animals. I loved the experience. Visibility underwater was poor, but once close to the sharks i could see it perfectly and swim alongside them. Peaceful and majestic creatures. Totally recommended the tour. The guide, capitan and organizer were all very friendly and thoughtful.

Wonderful experience!

The guide and ship captain were fantastic. Alprin (most likely misspelled) was a thoughtful, enthusiastic and engaging guide. This crew kept the Shark Whales and their environment at the top of their priorities. Very ecologically minded boat crew. We saw those amazing fish and were awed.
