5.00A fantastic experience with Abraham and Axel, highly recommended. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and learned a lot throughout the entire activity. We want to especially highlight Abraham, who did a great job creating a very pleasant atmosphere on the boat, integrating all the participants and ensuring that each crew member felt comfortable and was having a good time. His energy, approachability, and attention to detail made the experience even more special. Additionally, he proudly conveyed his love for his homeland and instilled in us the importance of caring for the beaches, the seas, and the wildlife, helping us to be more aware of the impact we have on these valuable environments. Axel also contributed to everything going wonderfully. We took away great memories from this experience and, without a doubt, we will return. Thank you both very much! đâď¸đ
Extraordinary adventure.

5.00Very interesting, extraordinary nature. Excellent. Our guide, Mr. Juan Jose Palafox, is not only educated, correct, and experienced, but also knowledgeable about everything included in the excursion. The boat driver is also. They fulfilled each and every step in a timely and proper manner. Very appropriate and good lunch. I suggest that passengers be prohibited from bringing and consuming alcohol, by port authorities, through the confiscation of such items upon boarding the vessel. This will prevent unpleasant episodes for tourists, the guide, and the boat driver.
I'd hire them back!

5.00We hired the private tour on May 1 with my husband, as I am pregnant and either wanted to put myself at risk or harm anyone. The experience was amazing, EloĂsa treated me very well and took care of me at all times. He put together the perfect plan for me, without knowing me, I could visit both beaches, and swim with the sea lions, I did everything! But personalized and that was thanks to her! I really appreciate the treatment you had and the laughter you gave me. Mega I recommend you go with them. The collective must be amazing too.
tour was great, beautiful...

5.00Guides were very kind and we got to see some amazing stuff!! The only challenge was we were a group of 4 in the whole group of 25, the guides gave all info/instructions in Spanish. They spoke very little English to us.
Fun and informational ride to beautiful beaches.

5.00Fabulous trip! We hopped out of the boat to walk in the water to Bandara Beach. Beautiful colors of the water. Then we sped off to EspĂrito Santo Island. Choppy waters didnât deter our excellent Captain Xavier. Edwin gave us all the info regarding flora and fauna with help from Antonio. They were all a very knowledgable and fun crew! Donât miss this trip!
The whole crew was great Daniela Maria and Tony

5.00Everything was amazing and exceeded my expectations. The tour was guided by Daniela & Antonio, they were super friendly and attentive the whole trip, always very attentive to the needs of the crew, our captain Yazhir was quite experienced and made the trip quite enjoyable. We saw all the most beautiful spots on the island, sloop and Lobera. The food on the beach was very delicious and we were always very well served. I highly recommend!
