Swim with Whale Sharks, Sea Lions, and Explore Balandra
La Paz
Description
Dive into one of the most thrilling adventures of your life in the Bay of La Paz, one of the few unique places in the world where you can swim alongside the majestic whale shark. These incredible creatures have roamed the Earth for over 60 million years. They can reach lengths of up to 40 feet and weigh over 25 tons! Despite their massive size, they are completely harmless, feeding primarily on plankton and occasionally small fish.
Our certified guides will take you on an unforgettable snorkeling experience with these gentle giants, ensuring a respectful interaction in their natural habitat. Next, we'll visit San Rafaelito, a small coral reef home to a sea lion colony and vibrant marine life, perfect for snorkeling. This site is part of the Balandra Natural Protected Area, where we’ll discover pristine beaches with crystal-clear waters and soft white sand.
To complete the experience, enjoy a delicious meal by the iconic White Dune or a secluded beach in Balandra. Whether you choose to swim, snorkel, or simply relax in this stunning paradise, this activity combines nature, exploration, and breathtaking scenery all in one day.

We really enjoy this fantastic trip! Everyone was so nice and patient, and we saw the whale shark! So lovely and beautiful. If we had the chance must come to here again with Gluup! Thank you so much!

It was a magical and unforgettable experience. We saw the majestic whale shark; the guide even held our hands to help us stay calm and led us to where we could see it best! We felt incredibly safe with the captain and the guide, who were always very attentive and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed to eat and drink. The ceviche and guacamole were delicious. I highly recommend taking this tour with this company; you won't regret it!
