Swim with Whale Sharks, Sea Lions, and Explore Balandra

La Paz

From USD 160/person

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.

Very responsive on what’sapp and gave clear information on the tour and how to get there. The place is very pretty! The tour guide and the boat captain were friendly. We had 4 stops in our snorkel tour as planned. Visibility was not great , but it was still amazing. I hope to go back for scuba diving one day. I also liked that they keep things real: (1) do not try to sell things that may not happen (due to nature), (2) they do not put additional fees - what they tell you is what you pay (very different than other tours I have seen around Los Cabos) One point to highlight is that the boat is small, so if the ocean is rough it may not be the best for people that get sea sickness.
