omg whatta tour!!! - Best tour I've ever taken. 5 minutes out school of dolphins and gray whale!
Edwin our Salty Life guide, began to share his passion for marine biology with amazing background, descriptions and facts. Moving on to spectacular vistas and intermitant updates. Scruffy desert and stunning green sea colors provided an exquisite artists pallet of scenery. Passing La Paz infrastructure, unique island nature and local fisherman history made for an infor.ative and entertaining experience. Edwin was so good! Onward to even more gorgeous green seas and the iconic rock formation giving the area its name...Espiritu Santo. Keep your eyes out the blue footed boobies...hard to spot! Through a natural arch formation closing in on the sea lion colony. These beauties welcome you first with their robust calls and then with their playful actions. Its time to snorkle in "refreshing" crystal clear waters! Schools of tropical fish abound as you anticipate your first close encounter with a sea lion. And then there it is..having a ball swooping around and under you. You're swimming with a sea lion in its homeland! Later you re board your lancha captained by Martìn with 22 years experience. Now heading to an unoccopied beach in paradise for a couple of super relaxing hours. You could lay on a towel read and/or sleep. But you'd be closing your eyes to heaven! Check over the dunes...its a vibrant cactus filled desert landscape with mountain backdrop. Turn around and once again you're seeing the most gorgeous green ocean ever, backdropped by cliffs kilometers away. Traditional fresh fish ceviche or sandwich alternatives take of your appetite. Time to shmooze with everyone and snap memorable pix before you re board again and head back to La Paz. A quick tour of Balandra Beach nearby...top 50 beah in the world! Then head for home. We were fortunate to encounter dozens of leaping manta rays doing belly flops as we jouneyed back! An unbelievable sight! OMG whatta tour!

Amazing tour - Super friendly staff. Ana gave us interesting information all the way and they were watching us both she and the captain.
Swimming with sea lions is an experience that you should not miss for anything if you go to La Paz. The food they brought was very rich and fresh on an amazing beach with few people.
I would definitely come back with them in the experiences

Great experience. - We really enjoyed it. Our host Ana was great as was our captain. It is a full day from 11-5 on the boat. Get to see so much. We saw dolphin on the way out and humpback whales on the way back. Had a spectacular lunch on a small beach. And - the sea lion experience is absolutely crazy good.

Great Day!! - It was a great experience. Magy and her crew were knowledgeable about the area, history, and shared a lot of information about species living in the national park. The sea lions were cool too! Fresh lunch was delicious and the time on the beach was just perfect. Highly recommend!

MUST DO - core memories for a lifetime! - Absolutely unbelievable trip. Loved swimming with sea lions - a core memory for our children for sure. But in addition really enjoyed the beach lunch, the exploration of the cliffs, natural beauty of the area, and other marine life - so many dolphins right as we were entering the Bay! Our guide Edwin was exceptional and very patient with the weak swimmer in our group. Highly recommend and hope to return.

Memorable experience but not without its flaws - Memorable experience but not without its flaws. How often do you get to swim with sea lions, after all? But, the trip to the sea lions is fairly long and the ride can be uncomfortable even unpleasant in a small boat not designed for comfort. The beach for lunch was spectacular. The guide, Ana, and Berto, our Captain, made sure we stopped at a deserted beach in a beautiful cove. They also made sure we stopped to see dolphins and a huge manta ray along the way, which was special. The swim with the sea lions was quite cold at this time of year despite the wet suits. We swam for 20-25 minutes but that was plenty long in the cold water. The sea lions were swimming in and among us. However, even though we had only 10 in our group, the area was very crowded with other groups and bumping into others was inevitable. I wouldn’t call it snorkeling really. You were just moving along in the water trying to stay out of other people’s way. There were at least 5 other groups while we were there some of which were much larger than ours. We were able to observe the sea lions underwater and some moved in closer to us out of curiosity. That’s really what you pay for. But, it could have been a much better experience with the sea lions without the dozens of other people packed into the smaller area around the rocks. I would say the weather was pleasant on this day, but the sea was still rough in places. We were glad we had worn some patches for sea sickness. Ana was well-informed and did a nice job leading us, despite the crowd. Berto was a good captain and did a good job trying to soften the ride and get us to our destination. Lunch of fruit, ham sandwiches, and ceviche was solid as well. Drinks of various kinds were available. The rough ride on an uncomfortable vessel along with the overly crowded sea lion experience is what caused me to take 1 star off. But, overall it was a good day and memorable experience.

Not recommended - The boat ride is long, and the water can be icy in November. The tour ends at a very crowded beach for lunch. Compared to other tours we did this is probably the least enjoyable. We wouldn’t do it again. If you're visiting La Paz, there are more intimate and carefully crafted tour experiences available!

Sad in La Paz - My reservation got canceled due to unfavorable weather conditions (winds from the north). I was hoping for a miracle in the weather but unfortunately the odds were not in our favor. Mother Nature wins. This activity will have to wait until next year.
