Itinerary

Meet your guide in the morning at Marina Fonatur La Paz. On the boat ride to Espiritu Santo National Park, take in sweeping views of the coastline that most visitors never see. Make your way to a sea lion colony on arrival at the park, where you are free to snorkel in the UNESCO-protected waters. Your guide points out landmarks and marine life you might not have noticed on your own. Back on the boat, sail to Ensenada Grande where you eat fresh ceviche, sandwiches, and chips by pristine waters. Then continue to a secluded beach far from the crowds of the mainland. Swim, snorkel, or relax on the warm sand until it’s time to head back to La Paz. IMPORTANT NOTE: * Admission fee to Espiritu Santo National Park not included * From June 1st to August 31st snorkeling with the sea lions is prohibited. During this time we will pass by very close and be able to observe them from the boat and our snorkeling cavity will take place in "el candelero" * This activity is not recommended for travelers on a crew ship. We are not responsible for the return time and can result in missing your crew ship departure.

Hell of an experience

Published on Jun, 2024

I would do this tour every time I return to La Paz. Had an amazing day, we saw several different species of dolphins, devil rays and sea lions and learned a ton about the geography, geology and ecosystems in the area. Also had some of the best ceviches I’ve ever had on a perfect private beach.

Best thing we did in La Paz

The most memorable part of this trip! Our tour guides were super nice very helpful and informative. We loved snorkeling! Our group couldn’t stop talking about how incredible it was. We were able to sail by dolphins and swim with sea lions. And I just loved hanging around a secluded beach while we ate our sandwiches and ceviche. Also, don’t use Apple Maps to find their location! It took us to a completely different area across the pier so stick to google maps.

Once in a lifetime experience

This was an excellent experience! Some of the best snorkeling I’ve done and ive snorkeled quite a few places. The captain and guide created an excellent experience. They were very nice and accommodating. They provided lots of cool information during the boat ride. Swimming with sea lions was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I’ll never forget. There were tons of beautiful fish and we were the only snorkel group in the water which was awesome (we went in late May). We also saw a pod of dolphins playing on the ride back. The ceviche lunch was delicious as well. I’d definitely recommend this tour!

Unique experience on a safe boat with great guides

Amazing experience snorkeling with Sea Lions! We saw Dolphins and Rays as well on the boat ride to and from. I highly recommend Sunrider Tours!

Snorkel with Sea Lions for a once in a lifetime experience

Mel was a fantastic guide, fluently switching between Spanish and English throughout the tour. She made sure we had fun and kept us safe. Hector was a great boat captain, steering us towards a bonus viewing of a dolphin pod to cap off an already great expedition.
