Amazing Experience! - This was a great tour! Our guide, Omar, and captain, Cristian, were also great! We saw whales and dolphins on our way out to the islands, then snorkeled at the sea lion colony. We had a delicious lunch on a private beach, then saw a frigate bird nesting area on the way back. Omar was very knowledgeable and explained everything very well. Highly recommended!

10/10 recommend this tour - We LOVED this tour! We had a great captain (Christian) and tour guide (Omar). We saw so much wildlife....blue footed boobies, nesting great blue herons, peregrine falcon, blue shark, gray whales, humpback whales, bottlenose dolphins, hundreds of common dolphins, and of course, swimming with the sea lions. Lunch was delicious!! The beach we stopped to have lunch was beautiful. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this company and especially this tour.

Humpbacks and seals and fish, oh my! - What a wonderful experience We were in the trusty hands of Arturo as captain and Eduardo as guide in the water. On the way to snorkel with the sea lions, we were audience to a humpback show as well as learning about the geology of Espiritu Santo, visiting a lovely bay and then a snorkel with curious juvenile sea lions. Not only did we learn about their behaviors but also their communication. We visited the nursery of pups to see some suckling, the retired sea lions colony as well as the frigate nesting site by the old pearl location. In between we had time on a lovely beach accompanied by many hungry bees. We also snorkeled over a beautiful coral reef.

Unanticipated delight - We were met by organizers as planned. There was an unexpected pause early in our trip to watch breaching whales. The guides were not locked to the schedule. Although breezy and choppy there was no hesitation regarding our fairly lengthy voyage to and snorkel swim in proximity to the colony of sea lions living off of the northern tip of Espiritu Santo. A delightful surprise was the living coral reef we were able to explore there. Ceviche was served on a protected beach en route back to La Paz. A wonderful, delightful, challenging and rewarding day !

Excellent tour - We had a perfect day for this trip. Dolphins appeared by our boat even before we had left the bay and that set the tone for the rest of the day. Omar was an excellent guide, he was very knowledgeable. The care with which this tour was organized impressed us, it was well paced and well planned. I didn’t think I would want to have ceviche for lunch but it looked so good that I tried it and it was excellent. I was especially impressed with the quality of the equipment we were given - masks, snorkels and wetsuits were all in great condition. Highly recommend!

Espiritu island and sea lions and more - Omar and the boat captain did a great job on our tour to Espiritu island, swimming with the sea lions. They made sure that we saw as much as possible - dolphins, whales, seabirds along the way. And explained the rocks and geology, as well. We stopped at a nice beach on the way back and really enjoyed the fresh ceviche lunch.
