Perfect day - Not a finger to put on the boat, the captain, the guide, the food or the whole experience in general. We have nothing bad to tell. We saw many sea lions and more whale sharks!

Under the Sea 🌊 - Here’s a polished, enthusiastic review you can post anywhere (Google, TripAdvisor, etc.): ⸻ Absolutely unforgettable experience with Tuna Tuna Tours! The snorkeling was next-level — swimming alongside whale sharks was surreal and something I’ll never forget. We also got to snorkel with sea lions, which was insanely fun and way more interactive than I expected. On top of that, the beach stops were beautiful, crystal-clear water, relaxed vibes, and perfect spots to soak it all in. Huge shoutout to Danny, our driver, who was awesome the entire time — super friendly, professional, and made the whole day smooth and stress-free. And Marella, our guide, was incredible — knowledgeable, fun, and genuinely passionate about what she does. She made sure everyone felt comfortable, informed, and had the best experience possible. If you’re thinking about booking a tour in Mexico, Tuna Tuna Tours is a no-brainer. Highly, highly recommend! 🌊🐋🦭

Great tour - What a great day. Tuna tuna was very communicative with changing the meet up time to 7am. The water was so calm and the fact to be able to snorkel with whale sharks and sea lions in such an intimate setting was great. The beach lunch stop was very beautiful as well with such blue sandy waters.

Great whale shark sea lion adventure - We loved our trip. It was an experience of a lifetime. Stephanie was kind, patient and full of fascinating facts about the marine life in La Paz and even restaurants in the area. We all had plenty of time to swim with the whale sharks and sea lions and even received wonderful videos she shot on her GoPro (free of charge!!) I highly recommend this tour. Worth every penny!

Bucket list experience - I had an unforgettable experience with Tuna Tour in La Paz! From the moment we arrived, the team was kind, professional, and so passionate about the ocean. They took us to swim with whale sharks and sea lions, and it was absolutely magical — an experience I will remember for a lifetime. Our guides made sure we felt safe, informed, and comfortable the entire time. They respected the marine life, explained everything clearly, and created such a joyful atmosphere. The boat was clean, well-prepared, and the crew captured beautiful moments for us. I have been on many tours, but this one truly stands out. If you are visiting La Paz, Tuna Tour is a must! Thank you for giving us a perfect day on the water — full of beauty, adventure, and memories we will never forget. 🌊💙🐋
