Another red letter day! Thanks Baja Charters! - I am highly recommending Baja Charters for sight seeing and sea tours when in Southern Baja. I have taken my family and friends on several different excursions and you always overdeliver and our best México memories are on your boat. Great crew! You guys are number one!

Lovely day out with a great crew! - This was even better than we could have imagined! The boat and the crew were first-class. If we were to do another tour with Baja Charters (which I certainly hope we do!), I might aim for one with a bit more time off the boat to snorkel or hang out on a beach. That said, we had a great experience seeing Espiritu Santo, and we even saw a bonus whale and calf!

Becoming one with the Sea - The snorkeling was great and surroundings magnificent. The crew was just as accommodating as you could ask for and the boat and food were great. The price may seem high but for an almost 14 hour adventure totally inclusive package it’s very reasonable.

Excellent trip - This was the best part of our trip to Los Cabos. My husband and I had an amazing time. The crew members were incredible and the chef cooked us amazing meal through out the day. We enjoyed delicious drinks on our way to the island. The beaches were mesmerizing. We wanna say thank you once again because the experience was so incredible. We are thinking of coming back and share this experience with our loved ones.

From start to finish the... - From start to finish the experience was incredible. All the crew members were professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. The food they provied was excellent. I do not have enough words to describe how amazing the beaches were. We got to snorkel next to the Sea Lions and even though the water on this specific area was not very visible this time, it was still amazing. We are definitely coming back but now with family members. We would like to do a private tour.

Amazing - It was a perfect experience worth the money. We were lucky it was low season and there was just another couple and us. We got a lot of personal care and had the boat to ourselves (usually there are 20 tourists per trip). As we arrived to the marina we were greeted by a wonderful crew who had breakfast ready. We did snorkeling and experienced sea-lions and fish and coral of different colors. We then spent some time in Balandra splashing around. Our last stop was Isla Espíritu Santo and we paddled to the private beach where the water was just amazing. Our lunch was waiting for us as we sailed back. The boat was clean and spacious and the staff was just sweet and helpful. I would definitely recommend this experience

Luxurious snorkeling sail excursion ! - This luxurious, sailboat, snorkeling excursion was beyond what I had expected from picking us up at are resort, from getting on the boat, we were served breakfast, lunch and drinks. We swam with seals, which was very interesting and fun ! The only issue was that there where some unforeseen micro scopic stingers who made it feel like you were having a mild acupuncture session. It did not bother me too much, but some people it certainly did! It’s not some thing that always there from my understanding but it was especially around the areas where the sea lions reside. The next stop was a Espíritu. Santo island which was unbelievably beautiful and so worth going the water was crystal clear and so very enjoyable it’s difficult to put into words just stunning with every penny just to see such beautiful clear water and the snorkeling was outstanding in the area and no stingers haha I highly recommend this excursion it’s definitely worth spending the money you will not be disappointed ! The crew was very professional and knowledgeable. They were very attentive. They even dove for chocolate clams, and had us taste some so we could have that experience as well !

A lifetime experience with Baja Charters! - Wow what a magical day spent with Baja Charters! From the minute we stepped onboard the catamaran to our return, the day was so perfect. By far the most memorable tour I’ve had in my lifetime. The captain, Jesus was skilled and experienced. The food was crazy good! Jennifer created a beautiful breakfast, a Mexican type charcuterie (ceviche!) for appetizers, and a 5 star lunch including steak, chicken and seafood. The chef made any cocktail you could want. Open bar all day. Once anchored at this beautiful island we snorkeled seeing colorful fish and Lalo brought a shade covering and cooler up to shore. Ana, the marine biologist, was beyond passionate! She literally took my friends hand to help with her swimming anxiety. The knowledge she shared about the ocean creatures was fascinating. A 5 star day, 5 star crew, and 5 star tour company! We will return next year! Toes in the sand, and the clear blue ocean was paradise!

La Paz Perfect Day with Baja Charters - Best day ever. The boat was in great condition. The staff was helpful, fun and kind. The food was outstanding- like 5-star food and drinks on a clean boat with great staff. Right after we left the marina, we came into a large pod of dolphins. They played and jumped around the boat for almost half an hour before they set off to chase some tuna. It was magical and priceless to see the smiles on my kids' faces. :) Then we set course for Espiritu Santo island. Halfway there we stopped at a group of rocks where sea lions live. We snorkled around the rocks and swam with a large group of playful sealions. Incredible experience, so much better than anything you can do in Cabo. We made it to the island, which was just beautiful. The beaches were pristine and uninhabited. We spent the day snorkling there and reluctantly got back aboard for the trip back to the marina. Perfect day. I've been coming to Cabo for 20 years. Glad I found out about this tour in La Paz. Transportation both ways was provided as part of the package... and on the way back we got to stop at Hotel California! I *highly* recommend this company and the tours they offer. It's worth every penny. It was our best day Mexico and I'll be going back every time. - David Neal

Ultimate Day Trip of a Lifetime! - This was one of the best trips of a lifetime. From start to finish it was amazing. I was told I would be picked up at my hotel at 6 am. I got down to the front lobby at 5:50 and Juan our driver was there waiting for me. Juan was super kind and even asked us to let him know if we wanted to make any stops along the way. We got to La Paz and the crew (Lina, Jesus, Lalo and Jenny) were there waiting for us. All four of them were simply fantastic and as nice and helpful as they could be. You can tell they love what they do and did everything in their power to make sure we had the best day ever. The catamaran is gorgeous and has all the amenities one would need. It is literally a floating cruise with a shower and bathroom as well as kitchen. They let us treat the boat as if it were our very own. Jenny our cook for the day had scrambled eggs, bacon and a ton of pastry assortments as well as fresh fruit waiting for us on our trip out the island. Along the way, we stopped at the sea lion colony and got to snorkel with sea lions. They had full wet suits and snorkel gear for each of us to use. Lina, our safety guide was with us making sure each of us were safe and ensured we had the best experience possible. Along the way we saw Whales and blue footed booby birds. Once at the island we got to do whatever we wanted. You could stay on the boat, swim to the island or snorkel. I choose to snorkel and Lina was especially kind to go with me and ensure I saw as many fish as possible. It was absolutely stunning. On the trip back we were treated to grilled chicken, steak, mashed potatoes fresh salad and steamed vegetables. Best meal I had the entire time I was in Mexico. When we got back to La Paz, Juan was there waiting for us and even let us stop to see The Hotel California on the way back. If you are in Cabo or La Paz do not miss out on this adventure, or you will mis out on one of the most spectacular days of your life.
