Sea Lions & Mega-Paddleboard Tour in Espiritu Santo
Overview
There’s just no other way to say it… you simply can’t experience the beauty of Espiritu Santo Island -UNESCO World Heritage Site- until you get out on the water. Snorkeling with sea lions, surrounded by fish, invertebrates and birds, will make those moments when pups frolick around you magical. Savor our local flavors, with our delicious home-made fish and veggie ceviche, while you bask in the Sun at the beach. What makes this tour unique is the moment when you stand on our super-fun mega-paddelboards. Experience Espiritu Santo Island like few others, paddling along the shoreline, awed by meeting of desert and sea and there’s more, when fish leaping out of the water, pelicans diving from up high or turtles coming up for air appears suddenly. You won’t find anything like this anywhere else, so join us and knock this iconic La Paz experience off your bucket list.
*Note: During the mating season from June 1 to August 31, snorkeling takes place at the San Rafaelito instead of Los Islotes.

Then we head to one of the many beautiful beaches on the island for lunch. Lunch is included; let us know if you have dietary preferences at the time of your booking. We have delicious local ceviche or hummus.
Once we finish lunch, we get ready and paddle among the desert, sea, and mangroves at Espiritu Santo island.
