Overview

This is not just a boat tour, it’s a naturalist-based marine wildlife expedition led by a certified naturalist. Unlike most tours that follow the same routes with large groups, we focus on small group travel (max. 10 guests), respectful wildlife observation, and real-time interpretation of what’s happening in nature.

You’ll snorkel near wild sea lions (from Jun - Aug, snorkel with sea lions is suspended due to the breeding season) and over vibrant reefs, but also stay alert for dolphins, turtles, mobula rays, and seasonal whales. We go beyond the basics, offering educational briefings, species ID field guides, and quiet, scenic locations away from the crowds.

Your route complies strictly with National Park regulations and is designed for those who value learning, conservation, and an authentic connection with Baja’s marine ecosystems. We’ll also spend a couple of hours on one of the island’s beaches for a scenic lunch break and well-deserved free time to relax or explore.

What's Included

  • Snorkeling equipment: mask, fins, wetsuit, life vest
  • Haded, comfortable panga-style boat with WC
  • National Park access permits and wristbands (CONANP)
  • Transportation to/from the meeting point in La Paz
  • Towels, hats, sunglasses, or sunscreen (please bring your own)
  • Alcoholic beverages
