Amazing experiences! The host were super friendly and knowledgeable, and the activities were very special… saw tons of dolphins, lovely snorkeling with sea lions and fresh ceviche lunch on an empty fabulous beach!

I had an incredible experience with UpDive Adventures in La Paz, Mexico! Swimming with the sea lions was truly magical. The guides, especially David, were fantastic and incredibly attentive, even with my kids, who have a big age gap (one is 15 and the other is 3). Captain Charlie was also amazing. We visited a secluded beach and enjoyed a delicious lunch provided by the team. I highly recommend UpDive Adventures for anyone looking for a memorable and fun experience. You won't be disappointed!

We had the absolute BEST experience on our private boat tour to Balandra Beach! Our guides were incredible, both so knowledgeable in marine biology and clearly passionate about what they do. They made us feel safe and completely taken care of from start to finish. On top of that, they were fun, personable, and just a joy to spend the day with. Their balance of professionalism and great energy made the whole trip unforgettable. If you’re looking for an amazing way to experience Balandra Beach, this tour is a must!

Great experience, we were given a lot of information about the area and saw some very cool things. Our favorite was hiking the rocks around balancers.
