Part of marine life! - The trip to the island was incredible, Miguel and Regina always explaining everything about marine and terrestrial life, always very attentive. I recommend the trip 100%. I learned a lot and learned a lot about the sea lions. It was a fun and enjoyable trip, with their incredible personalities.
With up.dive you can live the best experiences and always be in touch with nature!

The tour was great! We... - The tour was great! We visited Balandra, which is truly a paradise, and we also had the chance to snorkel at a couple of beautiful reefs. Dani, the guide, is very knowledgeable about the region’s marine biology and is very friendly. Charly, the captain, was also very kind

A perfect day and great experience for our family. - Miguel and Leo were wonderfully knowledgeable and enthusiastic guides. Their depth of knowledge the areas wildlife and terrain is vast. We were able to see several types of nesting birds with new hatchlings, a local and friendly pod of bottlenose dolphins, blue footed booties, huge numbers of mobula rays and of course the reason for the trip the sea lions. Espiritu Island is beyond special, and the visibility was amazing as hundreds of fish swim around you and the curious sea lions frolicking and playing with each other swim by. It was incredible. There was so much to see and appreciate. Lunch in a quiet bay with delicious ceviche led us to see some cow nose sting rays and dip in the turquoise waters again. And we capped off our adventure with a truly special experience of snorkeling near hundreds of mobula rays- unbelievable!!! The entire day was filled with smiles, humor, and learning. Miguel and Leo were exceptionally kind and did not rush anything. 1000% recommend them and hope to go on another adventure with them in the future!! My 18yo said, "Best day ever!"

Wow! Wow! Wow! Amazing tours - Wow, wow, wow! If you are considering booking this tour- just do it! We went with my senior Mom, and two young children. Miguel and Carla spent every moment making this tour the best possible for us. Communication was excellent, the boat was so comfortable, Carla taught us so much about what we were seeing, and Miguel was an amazing captain. We saw rays, a grey whale, snorkeled with playful sea lions, saw many many fish, and had dolphins swim right alongside our boat. We ended up doing two tours with Up Dive- the island tour and Balandra beach. Both were excellent. Miguel and Carla kept us fed with delicious snacks, fresh ceviche, and cold drinks. It was so worth the little bit extra money to have a private tour with the boat to ourselves. Highly highly recommend. I hope to come back and book with Miguel when the girls are old enough to get their scuba certification.

Amazing ocean adventure - Book this tour! Miguel is a fun and knowledgeable marine biologist and a very conscientious guide! He helped our party of 5 feel comfortable exploring the water. And we saw so much! Gray whales, blue whales, humpback whales, dolphins, jumping manta rays, and sea lions that swam so close to us we could pet them! Tropical fish sightings via snorkel were abundant too. Stop at Balandra for ceviche and a hike was wonderful too. I can’t recommend Miguel and this tour enough!!!!

Swim with Sea Lions & Discover Espiritu Santo: A Must-Do in La Paz - If you're visiting La Paz, this private tour is a must! The Snorkel with Sea Lions and Espiritu Santo Island experience is exactly as described — an intimate adventure for you and your family or friends on a small boat with a dedicated guide and pilot.
Our journey began with an unexpected highlight: we followed a whale for several minutes, an incredible bonus to start the day. We made a brief stop at Balandra Beach (remaining in the boat) before crossing the ocean to Espiritu Santo Island — a breathtaking destination in itself.
Once there, you’ll have the unforgettable opportunity to snorkel with playful sea lions — they swim right up to you, making for a truly unique and memorable experience.
On the return trip, we stopped at a picturesque bird sanctuary, and we encountered a pod of dolphins crossing the ocean, spending several minutes following them.
The tour concludes with a relaxing one-hour lunch (provided by the tour company) on a secluded private beach — the perfect way to unwind after an exciting day.
I highly recommend this tour, and if you're fortunate enough to have Danny as your guide and Charlie as your pilot (both extremely patient, helpful, and welcoming), you're in for an extraordinary experience!

An incredible day on the water! - Leo was our captain and Karla was our guide. Both were extremely knowledgeable marine biologists and incredibly sweet hosts! We brought our two preschool sons who just adored them and learned so much. We saw dolphins, mantra rays, sea lions, and several kinds of fish and birds. It was such a fun day for the family. We would do it again in a heartbeat!
