The Baja California Sur peninsula, located in the heart of the Sea of Cortez, is considered one of the best places in the world for ocean safaris and observing marine wildlife in the wild. In recent years, this destination has become popular due to the biodiversity found around Espíritu Santo Island and Cerralvo Island (also known as Jacques Cousteau Island). Between March and June, vast aggregations of Mobula rays gather in these waters, while whales and dolphins are frequently encountered. These conditions have led to orca sightings, as they are attracted to the area to feed on Mobulas. From July to December, warm water temperatures and good visibility provide excellent conditions for exploring the marine environment. During winter, migrating whales travel between the coastline and the islands, creating further opportunities for wildlife encounters. La Paz, Espíritu Santo Island, La Ventana, and Cerralvo Island form one of the best corners of the Sea of Cortez.

There’s just no other way to say it… you simply can’t experience the beauty of Espiritu Santo Island -UNESCO World Heritage Site- until you get out on the water. Snorkeling with sea lions, surrounded by fish, invertebrates and birds, will make those moments when pups frolick around you magical. Savor our local flavors, with our delicious home-made fish and veggie ceviche, while you bask in the Sun at the beach. What makes this tour unique is the moment when you stand on our super-fun mega-paddelboards. Experience Espiritu Santo Island like few others, paddling along the shoreline, awed by meeting of desert and sea and there’s more, when fish leaping out of the water, pelicans diving from up high or turtles coming up for air appears suddenly. You won’t find anything like this anywhere else, so join us and knock this iconic La Paz experience off your bucket list. *Note: During the mating season from June 1 to August 31, snorkeling takes place at the San Rafaelito instead of Los Islotes.
