A private 7-hour Espiritu Santo Island trip from La Paz with sea lion snorkeling near La Lobera, Balandra Beach, and lunch included.

“This private tour was absolutely spectacular--in part due to the incredible natural areas we visited and also because Miguel and Regina are fantastic guides. Everyone in our party was delighted by this experience, especially snorkeling with the sea lions, tropical fish, and coral reef. A delicious lunch on a small beach in a secluded bay was the perfect way to complete our tour. It is rare for everyone in my family to equally enjoy any activity, but we all agreed that this was the highlight of our entire vacation. Highly, highly recommend!”

He gave us an estimated time line for our visit to each one of the six beaches on the tour, but he was very flexible throughout the day. We started at the furthest beach, Playa Balandra, and worked our way back to La Paz. The ceviche he provided for lunch was excellent. The other snacks were nice to have, too. This tour is highly recommended to those visiting La Paz for the first time.”
