So much wildlife! - This was the highlight of our trip! We had an incredible day hiking, snorkeling and enjoying the island. The boat ride to the island was incredible. We saw humpback whales, pods of dolphins and sea lions. The panga driver was so warm and knowledgeable too. Loved it, highly recommend.

Unforgettable trip! - Everything about this excursion was fabulous!! The highlight, however, was chasing dolphins along the sea of Cortez! Our boat captain Lalo was also awesome!

Fantastic Birthday excursion - I booked this for my husband's birthday. Our tour guide, Alfredo met us at the designated spot and from there we went to our little boat and then we were off! The boat is small an can accomodate 4 people plus 2 tour guides. The ride to the island was about 45 mininutes, if not more. Alfredo took us all around the island and provided commentary about everything--wildlife, rock formations, etc. He was quite informative. We saw a sea lion colony which was just amazing! He got us o close to them and they were all so cute! I loved it! Alfredo gave us the choice of picknicking at 2 different beaches. We picked the beach that had facilities. Alfredo was well prepared with ice chests, drinks, food, fruit, snorkelt gear! He had it all and he was so very helpful. He was so kind and even provided chairs for us. He also made the best ceviche I have ever had. I cannot say enough about how great this was. We didn't have to lift a finger and he was happy to do whatever we asked of him. I would do this again!

Sunshine, dolphins and sea lions. - Sea & Land tours gave us a thrilling day of watching dolphins and swimmimg with sea lions. Mario ( our tour guide ) is very knowledable about the history of Coranado island and all that swims in the dee blue sea. Aiejo ( skipper ) is the absolute best boat handler. Irene handles the charters and she is an angel. Sunshine and calm sparkling sea made for a magical day. Two species of dolphin entertained us heading to Coranado island. The skipper slows down to a stop and cameras were going every direction. We then powered up and within a short time we were in the midst of a sea lion colony. Mario gave us saftey tips on sea lions and was thorough that we were ready. He swam with us and really made the experience perfect. Best day ever. After the sea lion swim, the skipper lowered the ladder and helped everyone aboard. Throttle down, off for more shallow reef snorkling amd a shore lunch. Beatiful white sandy beach with washrooms. Perfect finish to an amazing day. McWilson

A Perfect Way to Spend the Day - We had a wonderful trip to Coronado Island with Martin! It was a little windy and the water was choppy but Martin was an excellent captain! We chased dolphins, hung out with some sea lions and finished the day snorkeling and hanging out at the beach. This excursion was the best day of our trip!

Coronado Island is a must do experience - We changed our day at the last minute due to weather, the tour operator was very agreeable to the change. We loved everything about our day to Coronado Island. The boat ride was great, we saw lots of sea lions. The lunch on the beach was delicious, we swam, snorkeled and left when the wind came up!
