★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 188 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $131

Review of La Paz’s Espíritu Santo Island boat tour, with sea lions, snorkeling, lunch, wildlife, pricing, tips, and practical details.

“It was easy to find the meeting location. The staff spoke both Spanish and English so that was helpful. Our guide, Francisco, was very known and pleasant. We spotted some bottle-nosed dolphins on the way to the island so we followed them for a short time before we headed to our destination. The pinnacle of the tour was swimming with the sea lions. They were very playful and swam by closely. The beach we disembarked on for lunch was peaceful and beautiful. A great place to relax and enjoy the tostada and provided sandwiches.”

“This was an excellent experience! Some of the best snorkeling I’ve done and ive snorkeled quite a few places. The captain and guide created an excellent experience. They were very nice and accommodating. They provided lots of cool information during the boat ride. Swimming with sea lions was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I’ll never forget. There were tons of beautiful fish and we were the only snorkel group in the water which was awesome (we went in late May). We also saw a pod of dolphins playing on the ride back. The ceviche lunch was delicious as well. I’d definitely recommend this tour!”
