Amazing day on and in the water! - Amazing day on the water! Swam with Mobulas even though it's not fully the season, saw dolphins (tried to swim with them twice, but they didn't want to), saw a whale and the sea lions. Really enjoyed it!

Amazing. - Beautiful! Autonomy framed in the water, which allows us to go at our own pace and take time with animals. Great guide and driver. We will keep unforgettable memories.

Ocean safari La Paz - The experience was great. Juan was the biologist for the trip and he had great knowledge on the marine life we came across. We were straight off the beach into wetsuits to see Mobulas, then 2 whale experiences including a mother with a new born that morning and then snorkeling on some coral reef next to sea lions. Overall Juan and the Captain made it a really good experience and helped in all ways. The back office also did a great job with communication and arrangements especially when the experience had to be arranged due to adverse weather conditions. Thanks all Jim

Highly recommended! - Our Ocean Safari was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The crew was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about marine life. We were lucky enough to see dolphins and other amazing wildlife up close, and the guides shared fascinating insights throughout the trip. The boat was comfortable and well-organized, making the entire experience both exciting and relaxing. It was truly a highlight of our trip and an unforgettable adventure on the water.

A trip we will never forget - My girlfriend and I had an absolute blast. It totally exceeded our expectations and I would 100% recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable adventure!! Our tour guide was Juan Carlos and he was extremely knowledgeable and very kind. I can’t quite remember our captains name but I believe it was Margot. He was such a kind man and took us to some beautiful places. We saw humpback whales breaching, snorkelled with thousands of rays and also swam with sea lions and lots of colourful fish! We can say with 100% confidence that we will be back! Thank you so much for an amazing experience

Dedicated, fun, and respectful! - I loved this excursion! Our guide, Juan, knows his stuff. Above all, they prioritized the safety of the animals. Super respectful, experienced, & ridiculously good at spotting whales.

Worthwhile tour - We were very happy with the tour. Both our guide John and the captain went to great lengths to show us everything that could be found. These were several encounters with humpback whales on our trip, a large dolphin school with which we could also snorkel several times as well as a small sea lion colony with which we could also snorkel. We haven't seen orcas, mobula or whale species other than humpback whales, which is probably due to the season. The dolphins and sea lions were also not playful (unlike in La Paz (Espiritu Santo)). Since the water is still quite fresh at the beginning of March, 5mm wetsuits would have been good, but there were only 2mm shorties. Summary: Guide, captain, friendliness and attitude of both: full score Equipment condition: full score, but thicker wetsuits would have been good. Catering: good What we saw: OK, I think according to the season Overall very good 4 or close 5 points
