Best Diving Vacation Ever! - Planned a complete expedition in Baja California Sur with MTA. Did Marlin Run in Bahia Magdalena, visited Todos Santos, Scuba Diving in La Paz (Isla Espirtitu Santo), Scuba Diving in Cabo Pulmo. All this was organized and arranged by MTA and I could not be more happy and fulfilled with the experience. The attention, the human connection, the nice and knowledgable guides (all marin biologists) made this experience once in a lifetime. Big call out to Sergio (Checo), Fernando, and all the other boat captains and guides. This has been the best diving expedition in my entire life. Even going a bit out of season for some activities, the team always gave the extra effort to make sure we had an unforgetable experience. And might be luck, but the ocean provided and gifted us all we wanted to see: Hammerheads, Marlins, Humpbacks, Blue Whale, Sea Lions, Bull Sharks, MAnta Rays, etc, etc.... Special thanks to Karen, who was my PoC on organizing the trip and during the expedition. She always made sure to be in contact explaining how things were going to be conducted, providing alternatives when the port closed, and always making sure we were having a good time, which we did. Highly recomended tour operator for all their BCS activities!

Diving at Espiritu Island! - We had two wonderful days of diving at Espiritu island. The Sea Lions are so much fun and a bucket list experience. The Ship wreck was full of life….we swam through schools of Sardines to see the huge turtles sleeping on the deck. A magical two days with Marie, Marianna, and Captain Arturo.

Perfect Diving Experience! - We had an outstanding experience diving with Mexico Travel Adventure in La Paz! From start to finish, the crew was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. The dive sites were stunning, and we were lucky enough to see playful sea lions and several giant sea turtles — truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Then, to top off a perfect day of diving, there were dolphins and humpback whales next to dive boat!! The team did an excellent job with safety briefings, made sure everyone felt comfortable, and kept the day running smoothly. The equipment was in good condition and the entire operation was extremely well organized. I highly recommend Mexico Travel Adventure to anyone looking for an unforgettable scuba trip in La Paz. I can’t wait to come back and dive with them again! 🌊🐢🦭🐋🐬

Scuba and Snorkel Family Fun - We had the most amazing scuba and snorkel experience. We arranged this trip when porting in La Paz via a cruise ship. The planning and response rate ahead of time was amazing. We paid extra to have them pick us up only 50 yards from the ship itself. It was super fast on and off. Half of my family was scuba certified and the others did snorkel. Also since we were a family of 8 we commandeered the whole boat. The staff was super helpful explaining everything. Some needed a little refresher. We dive two sites. The first was at a reef just pass the seal island. It was full of life and max deprh 40-45 ft. It was full of life and we saw everything flourishing. Then we went to Espiritu Santo island. It was beautiful and not as much coral but still vibrant and full of life. We saw so many different species of fish. We wrapped with a picnic and swim at a beach feasting on the most tasty ceviche and sandwiches. The equipment was all good. The staff were superb and went above and beyond. They made this trip extra special for me and our family. Thanks for the memories, laugh and fun. We boarded the Black fin with Captain Christian and the two guides were Omar and Mateo

Excellent - We went to sea with Marie, Omar and Christian (I hope I'm not mistaken about the names) who were great! Marie explained the basics of diving very well and allowed us to see unforgettable seascapes. Excellent.

Great day trip! - Great day trip that exceeded our expectations. We were on a small boat with 7 people + 2 tour guides and a boat captain. Both tour guides knew a lot about the nature reserve and were super friendly. Lunch on the island was super tasty. The tour consists of the divers and the snorkelers on the same boat. So it's ideal to do in a group where some people like to scuba dive and others just like to snorkel. We saw lots of sea lions, whales and dolphins! Much recommended!
