What To Expect

Meet your guide in the morning at Marina Fonatur La Paz.

On the boat ride to Espiritu Santo National Park, take in sweeping views of the coastline that most visitors never see.

Make your way to a sea lion colony on arrival at the park, where you are free to snorkel in the UNESCO-protected waters. Your guide points out landmarks and marine life you might not have noticed on your own.

Back on the boat, sail to Ensenada Grande where you eat fresh ceviche, sandwiches, and chips by pristine waters. Then continue to a secluded beach far from the crowds of the mainland. Swim, snorkel, or relax on the warm sand until it’s time to head back to La Paz.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
