Description

Would you like to have one of the most amazing experiences of your life? Come and swim with the greatest fish in the world, the whale shark! We will take you to the Whaleshark Sanctuary site where you will have the opportunity to snorkel with these majestic creatures.

It is believed that the whale shark inhabits the Earth since 60 million years ago!! It can measure up to 40 feet and weigh over 25 tons! They appear in groups at specific times of the year in very few places in the world in order to feed themselves. The amazing bay of La Paz is one of those unique places where you can have the opportunity to swim with them! The shark whales are harmless; their feeding is based mainly on plankton and sometimes small fish.

Afterwards, you will snorkel with sea lions in Isla Espiritu Santo.

In the northern part of the majestic Espiritu Santo Island, which is located at the northeast of the beautiful bay of La Paz, there is an islet called "Los Islotes", which are two islets or large rocks, one of which is a natural arch.

There lives a colony of over 400 sea lions. In this tour you will have the amazing opportunity to get into the water and swim with them! They are very playful and fun, particularly the small ones.

Besides the sea lions you will enjoy a wide variety of species of tropical fish, corals, and larger animals such as in certain occasions whale sharks.

On the way to the island is very common to find dolphins that come to play in the boat, and in season, various whale species or mobulas.

If the weather and the schedule allow it we will stop at one of the most beautiful beaches of the Espiritu Santo Island in order to take a delicious lunch in a pleasant environment and have some time for sunbathing and snorkeling.

My experience has been very positive—simply the best dives of my life. The treatment from the staff (sales team, guides, captains, etc.) was excellent, and I’m very happy. I would definitely do it again without hesitation.
