Review of La Paz’s Espiritu Santo sea lion snorkel tour, with boat logistics, lunch, costs, guides, wildlife, and practical booking advice.

“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!”
