Trip was cancelled the night before. Very little communication. They have been non responsive about getting a refund.
Response from Host , May 2022
Kelly, sorry but they closed the port due bad weather, and we do not get more time in advance, just a few hours prior to closing, for the port authority is also a close call because they don't want to close with out been secure in necessary.
I also know that the refund has been done.
Again sorry we had to cancel, but believe me, we don't like to loose any business at all.
Mario.

Magical adventures with beautiful sea life and wonderful boating crew!
Sara_B
, Apr 2022
We had a surreal and stunning trip to the island- the water was all shades of incredible blues and turquoise. I have never been this close to a community of sea lions- our guide gave us the time of our life seeing these beautiful animals play, swim, communicate and live. There were so many other fish and diversity of sea life, including a large group of rays (not sure which type). They were jumping high into the air and almost flying!
We were happy for the wetsuits, as the water was on the chilly side. The lunch was delicious with many different options for our vegetarian group. Lunch took place in a shallow, aqua secluded white sand beach.
The whole crew was lovely. Thank you Sunrider tours, we will see you again!

We had a wonderful experience on our trip to EspirItu Santo Island National Park! Our guides were so nice and talked us through the whole trip step by step. It was fun to see and swim with all the sea lions and the snorkeling was awesome, way better than I expected. The lunch was delicious as well. I would definitely recommend it!

A great day of boating, snorkeling, swimming, etc. The crew was very friendly and professional, especially enjoyed snorkeling with the sea lions cavorting around us (with one gently biting my hand) and all the fish, starfish, etc. They prepared a wonderful lunch in a beautiful, calm cove. A great day!
Worth it!

A beautiful day - the boat trip was really scenic and comfortable, the staff was organized and considerate, lunch was perfect. The sea lions were so playful and curious! Amazing to be able to do this in the wild. The other beach we went to for lunch was one of the most beautiful and quiet ones I’ve ever seen. Go snorkelling along the the rocks there, too for even extra fun!
Wonderful Experience!

Wonderful experience! We got to snorkel super close to the sea lions in their natural habitat, they swim up so close to you! We also saw coral reefs up close and got to swim and hang out on the beach in a second location. Our guides were friendly and informative as well, and prepared a delicious lunch and snacks for us!
A Must Do!

Highly recommend! First off the guides where very friendly and informative throughout the whole tour! The boat that took us to the island was the nicest boat that I saw compared to the rest of the tour boats that where out there, it had a restroom and a fresh water hose to rinse off after swimming. The tour itself is a must do if you’re in La Paz, the beaches are the nicest beaches I have ever been too and also the snorkeling with sea lions is a lifetime experience! Sun riders also have us great ceviche and great subways once we got to the beach. Overall we had a great experience and will do it again!

The entire day was well done and all had a great time. We were a little disappointed about not being able to swim with the sea lions since it was nursery season. I’m thinking that should be part of the event description. Our guide (Dellis) was fantastic, the food was good, and we really enjoyed the beach. Highly recommend!

It started early with our tour guide Delisa (I think that’s her name) greeting us with a smile and kindness. Our entire trip with her made this our favorite part of the tour. She was amazing, funny, knowledgeable, accommodating, and patient with the ninos. When one of the guests lost there iPhone in the water and she dove in and found it! The most memorable was the gorgeous clear blue water. Absolutely amazing! Oh and the lunch you get. Holy moly! Delicious!!! I have friends going at the end of this month and I told them it’s a must to book with Viator. They reached out to us the day before to tell us they didn’t have enough people to go out but not to worry they will take care of us and they sure did! Absolutely amazing.

If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
