Darinka and Francisco took great care of us! Lots of beautiful nature, very knowledgeable guide and capable captain. Prepared a simple but lovely lunch for us, and were very safety minded. This is a MUST DO for anyone visiting La Paz.
We knew we wanted to do this tour just couldn’t decide what company to go with and we are so glad we booked with this company! All of the staff was incredibly knowledgeable and so kind.
Amazing places but spent more time on the boat than at sea. The guide was very nice. organization of the agency and logistic could be improved. Next time I would invest on a private tour
I had so much fun on this excursion. Our group was guided by two professional and knowledgeable tour guides. The beaches were so beautiful. The lunch they provided was delicious. Thank you so much for the lovely experience!
This experience is a must if it’s your first time visiting La Paz, BCS…. The meeting spot was near the malecón and easy to find. Playa Balandra and Espíritu Santo are beautiful beaches that you won’t want to miss. Food and drinks are included, we had a delicious Ceviche and sandwiches. You are also welcome to bring your own snacks, also, bring a towel.
You can bring your own beer. Beautiful journey. Sit to the back of the boat. If you hit waves the ride is smoother
This is more of a sightseeing trip rather than snorkeling. Did not snorkel with sea lions just a a beach with very few fish. Spent more time riding on the boat than anything else.
Amazing tour! Our guide Dari was amazing and Ernesto the captain was very friendly! Dari was very knowledgeable all throughout the tour !
Great experience. Perhaps train the guides a little better so they provide more geological, botanical, and biological information. But the service is very good, the ceviche delicious, and the tour with the different points visited spectacular.

It has been one of the best experiences taking this tour. All the visits that were made were the best.

Excellent service
Just a recommendation: more time in Balandra and less in Candelaria.
That's the only thing I would change.

Super good experience, the service was incredible, and the crew was the best (Jessi, Jorge, and Antonio)
