“Sadly, the weather and sea conditions were too rough so our tour was cancelled. However, I do have to mention the tour reps and their communication. Outstanding!! They advised us several days in advance that the tour may be cancelled, and provided the possible reasons why. They kept in touch as our tour date grew closer.

4.Espiritu Santo Island Snorkel & Sea Lion Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 172 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $145

Review of La Paz’s Espiritu Santo sea lion snorkel tour, with boat details, lunch, costs, water conditions, wildlife, and booking advice.

“Dolphins, rays, sea lions, and tons of fish, we saw so much! Delise and Hector were great, giving us little bits of local history and wildlife info, and answering questions. The boat was comfortable and the lunch was good, at a really lovely beach. The snorkeling was the highlight. We all had sealions approach us playfully and swimming through the arch and over the reef was just amazing. We would 100 percent do it again! What a great day!”
