Return Details

Returns to original departure point
This half-day snorkeling experience at Espiritu Santo Island National Park departs from Pier Fiscal in La Paz for a boat ride over to Espiritu Santo Island National Park. Please note you need to bring the park fee with you, payable at the time of tour check-in.

Once your boat reaches the UNESCO-protected park, the first thing on your agenda for the day is to go snorkeling in the sea lions’ natural habitat. This area is a sea lion colony with more than 300 sea lions. Not only can you see the sea lions, but keep an eye out for the different types of fish, too. The park is known to have more than 500 different types of species.

Next up, get back on the boat and sail to Ensenada Grande where you eat fresh ceviche, sandwiches and chips on the beach. Then, you can decide if you’d like to sunbathe, relax, swim, or snorkel some more.

Afterward, board your boat for the return cruise back to La Paz. Make sure to check out views of Balandra Bay on your way.

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!

The experience was really special. A tiny bit scary for little kids and anyone who isn’t a strong swimmer, but ultimately very rewarding for having done it. The sea lions were great, good lunch, fantastic crew!

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! 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!

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.

Delis and Memo were amazing! Delis was so patient and helpful with my 70 year old dad with his first time snorkeling! We are definitely doing this again! The sea lions were right beneath us and the beautiful coral and fish were amazing! Thank you!
