These guys are the best! - These guys are pros. We had an amazing experience. Our guide David was super knowledgeable and easy to be around. He is great with kids too. He helped our 4 year old in the water with the sea lions. We saw whales and dolphins and had an delicious lunch as well. We felt very safe in the boat. Our Captain Charlie was great and let us know if it was going to be a little rough but mostly kept it nice and easy. I can’t say enough about this trip.

Highly recommend! - This private tour was absolutely spectacular--in part due to the incredible natural areas we visited and also because Miguel and Regina are fantastic guides. Everyone in our party was delighted by this experience, especially snorkeling with the sea lions, tropical fish, and coral reef. A delicious lunch on a small beach in a secluded bay was the perfect way to complete our tour. It is rare for everyone in my family to equally enjoy any activity, but we all agreed that this was the highlight of our entire vacation. Highly, highly recommend!

Outstanding experience - This was one of the best tours I’ve ever taken anywhere. The skipper (Charlie) and tour guide (Dani) were top notch, and the tour guide knew a lot about the area and the animals we were seeing. We saw three humpback whales, dozens of manta rays, and hundreds of beautiful birds. Of course, the highlight was snorkeling with sea lions, along with lots of colorful fish. If a private tour is too expensive, I’m sure a group tour would be fantastic as well. Either way, this should be on your short list if you go to La Paz. One caveat: If you get seasick, be sure to take medication for that beforehand, as the water is quite choppy around the sea lion rookery.

For this experience,... - For this experience, private is the way to go... Capt. Angel made the travel bearable and David was very knowledgeable. Had a great time even with the elevated winds.

Unique and memorable experience - Miguel and Up Dive did an unbelievable job taking us out swim with the sea lions. Miguel being a Marine Biologist was an extra bonus as he highlighted many aspects of the sea life and terrain. Miguel and Captain Charlie most hospitable and knowledgeable hosts- their homage ceviche quite tasty as well. If you plan on visiting the sea lions look no further than UpDive

UPDIVE the Best! - Wonderful experience. Boat trip was nice & Sea lions were so playful & fun. Great site seeing - not a birder but loads of interesting birds along the way also saw a HUGE pod of dolphins with babies. Warm & clear water. Snorkel Equipment & lunch was good - Captain Charlie & Miguel were superb - Miguel is also a marine biologist which was extra special - UPDive was a great choice for our adventure. Perfect day!
