What Guests Are Saying
Top-rated marine tours in La Paz, Baja California Sur
There is no place in the world more alive."
In the Water,
With a Marine Biologist.
Wild animals in their natural habitat, up close, in small groups, guided by marine biologists who have dedicated their lives to this sea.
Whale Sharks
Up to 5 in the water at a time; we might send 3–4 when the shark is moving fast. Every guest jumps multiple times.
Sea Safari
Searching the open water for marine life: common dolphins by the hundreds, Mobula rays launching from the water, and on the lucky days, orcas surfacing at the bow.
Sea Lions at Los Islotes
In the water with the largest sea lion colony in the Sea of Cortez: nearly 1,000 Sea Lions at Los Islotes, and our guides know them. The playful pups spiral around you and look you in the eye.
Balandra by Boat
Sea Lions, Blue-footed Boobies, El Hongo mushroom rock, fresh ceviche on a secluded beach. Mexico's most beautiful beach — small group boat from the Malecón.
