Awesome adventure to Balandra - Sergio and Alejandro were amazing guides. We started out kayaking in the mangroves at Balandra, snorkeled to see Bruce the giant snapper and hiked along the coast to Tecalote beach. We ended our day enjoying delicious ceviche and lemonade in the shade looking out onto the Sea of Cortez. Stunning views and a wonderful adventure! Well worth the cost. Go with their transportation to get into the park and meet the guides. Easy pick up and drop off No need to stress on vacation.

10/10 experience would do it all over again ! - Best experience me and my partner have had so far, it being our first time in la Paz we didn’t know what to expect. But this booking was exceptional. Me personally I never really liked having tour guides because the experience is usually rather awkward, but Mateo and Sergio made it feel like it was just another day which made it comfortable. They’re informed with every piece of that land and gave us such a good experience due to their knowledge, love and passion for balandra. Thank you Mateo and Sergio for treating us like family.

Unmissable experience! - I loved the boat ride, the visit to the mangrove and the snorkeling! Also, I appreciate the flexibility and the nice attitude of Felipe and Czech to not take us to the hike because we would not be able to anymore!

Breath taking experiences with kind hearted guides - We were a group of 8 girls and luckily Alejandro and Matteo were extremely welcoming and made us feel safe and taken care of. Alejandro was great explaining all the kayaking instructions and giving us some awesome info on the land, plants and animals. Mateo was so patient with us while on the hike. They handled the time perfectly and efficiently where we got to do everything during our excursion. It was truly an amazing experience, highly recommend!!
