Description
The day starts at 9.00 am, departing from Muelle Fiscal at La Paz malecón. We will board our 25-30 ft boat (shaded and with cushioned seats) along the rest of the group (max. 8 travelers). Espiritu Santo Island is an hour away, and on the way and with a bit of luck, we can see dolphins, whales, or mobula rays. Once there, we will head a bit farther out to Los Islotes sea lion colony where we will swim with the sea lions (except during their reproductive season june-august) for about 30-40 minutes and enjoy a rocky reef where we can find lots of corals, fish or starfish. Wearing a lifejacket while snorkeling with sea lions is mandatory. After snorkeling, we will have lunch at one of the incredible beaches of Espiritu Santo Island while enjoying the beautiful surrounding landscape. The island has many beaches, but we will always take you to the most promising beach of the day, in terms of number of people, and weather conditions. We can also take a short hike or do a second round of snokeling (upon previous request) to get to know a little more of the Espiritu Santo Island, and rest on the beach for a while before heading back to La Paz. During navigation periods we stop a several attraction points of the Island, such as San Gabriel bay, where an old pearl mine was located, and is now a sea bird colony. We will be arriving back to the malecon at around 3:30 pm. We provide all snorkeling equipment, and bring wetsuits during the months of November through May. If you wish to wear a wetsuit during the summer, please let us know. For lunch we bring delicious fresh ceviche but can accommodate food restrictions. For drinks we bring water, cold lemonade or iced tea, and snacks like chips and chookies.Includes

- During winter and spring, windy days can prevent us from visiting Los Islotes sea lion colony. If so, we can reschedule, or offer an alternative plan. During summer, when we aren't allowed to swim at Los Islotes, we will visit another (smaller) sea lion colony where we can swim. Bees and wasps are present at beaches, so if you have a strong allergy, bring whatever you might need in case of being stung. If you get easily seasick, you might want to bring sea sickness medicine as well.
