If you’re to do one trip in La Paz, that is the trip to a spirit Tucson to aboard this boat they treat you well and it’s - The marine biologist on board was very knowledgeable and shared with us. All she knew about the floor and the fun. The meals were outrageous. We had ceviche which was so yummy and he can root with melon and drink drinks. The ride there was wonderful we even stopped on the way back for viewing of dolphins and we spent close to 20 minutes looking at all the dolphins.

Fantastic day on the water - My wife and I had a great time on the boat with Alexis and the crew. The crew were very knowledgeable about the wildlife and we even stopped along the way to see a whale shark. A very relaxing experience.

Great Aquatic Tour - Our guide was Valeria and she was exceptional. She was both highly knowledgeable (master's in marine biology) AND enthusiastic about guiding us. We stopped at multiple stops which gave us a nice selection of things to see. Also it was a nice touch to have the lunch on a beach.

Lovely day on the Sea of Cortez - Overall it was a great day on the sea. We saw a humpback and a pod of dolphins. The sea lions were entertaining. Our guide and boat captain did a great job.

Returning to where one is happy for a few hours - Whenever I can I will return because I love the beach and this is a luxury to have in our Mexico however it is necessary that they install a telephone antenna nearby or sell the bracelets in the module of the Park Guards of CONANP because otherwise they make you turn 2 times. I recommend always buying your access bracelets in advance so you can enjoy the little time you can be there.

Didn’t get what we booked. - Viator tours have always been good but this one was a huge letdown as we booked an English guided tour but the guide spoke no English. Maximum 18 on tour there were 20 so it was cramped on the boat. Given we were sailing and snorkelling this was dangerous due to not understanding safety warnings. Knowing we only spoke English the guide made no effort to try to explain anything to us. We learnt nothing about the area or island. If booking check before departure you are getting what you booked.

Bad experience - Lousy experience of the tour all day in a boat, tight and in the strong wind. If you go on a tour of the island, I recommend getting to the beaches by road. Since by boat you are only on a beach less than 2 hours. Food of the lowest quality. The overall staff very friendly but the experience disastrous. Scandalous and noisy music, we don’t all like it in moments that maybe we are looking for something quiet, or could balance during tour. Not recommended for anything under 3 years old even if they tell you they do.

Not recommended - If you want to spend a whole day in a super tight boat and fighting for a shadow when arriving at the unique beach they visit choose the tour. The beaches you see from afar and in which they let you descend on the island only leave you an hour, tell you that it is more time and we were cut 40 minutes. Super low quality food. They explain very little. The worst part is that I asked before booking if it would be advisable to go with 10-month-old baby and to sell or fill said yes and we had a super uncomfortable time. Zero recommended for babies under 3 years of age. But anyway if you decide to take it wear a sweatshirt and neck mountain type to protect from the wind back and forth because it sticks hard the air. Besides, we don’t all go with the intention of listening to outrageous music, some of us go in search of tranquility and connecting with nature. They don’t ask you anything to personalize your experience or to enjoy the tour more. It is advisable that you better visit the beaches by land because on this tour you will not even enjoy them. Also much faster by land you can visit and be good weather in 2 or 3. Instead of being on a boat all day.

Awful … use another tour guide company - The tour was nothing as advertised except for the swimming with the sea lions, which is about 10 min of the 7 hour tour, before they scream at you to get back in the boat. Coral reef snorkeling for an hour? What coral reef? Instead, we sat on a random beach for 90 min eating a quick lunch and staring at each other. You want to go to the famous Balandra Beach for an hour, as they promised? Get ready to stop by for 15 min at the end of the day when it’s getting dark and then yell at you to get back in the boat. I guess we spent too much time at the random beach staring at each other instead of Balandra Beach? And you get to do the whole tour with 27 other people squished beside you for 5 hours of the in a boat because they took WAY too many people. Good luck!!
