Full Day Snorkel and Swim with Sea Lions & Whale Sharks in La Paz
Overview
Swim with sea lions at their colony on the northern tip of Espiritu Santo Island, and with giant whale sharks, on this full-day, once-in-a-lifetime trip. Our skiff-rides to and from the various activities give us a panoramic view of the beautiful Bay of La Paz and it’s fascinating combination of desert and marine ecosystems. Leaving from La Paz in the morning, we take a 60 minute boat ride to the sea lion colony at Los Islotes. Here we will jump into the water to snorkel in a wild place, with playful and curious sea lion pups. Additionally, this rocky outcrop showcases beautiful shallow coral reefs full of fish and steep cliffs for seabirds including Frigate birds and Blue-footed Boobies. Afterwards, we make our way to one of the many beautiful beaches on the island for lunch and a rest. Finally, we make our way to the whale shark sanctuary to swim with these enigmatic animals.

What a great trip. The captain and crew were knowledgable and friendly. Jose and Erin were careful to prepare the entire group for the excursion, and checked and rechecked to assure all gear and supplies were not left behind. The sea lion snorkeling experience was nothing short of amazing, and the paddleboarding and lunch on the beach was a nice way to wind down the day.
