Great family day!

5.00Such a wonderful day and experience. Christian and Ramon were wonderful. Great balance of sight seeing, swim, beach time. Food was great. Highly recommend. We did have our 6 year old who isn’t the strongest swimmer and maybe wouldn’t have done as well without moderate to complete assistance. Our 9yo and 11yo did great. Overall, 10/10 recommend!
An extraordinary experience.

5.00The guides are sincere, caring and passionate! It was a great experience for my whole family despite my 4 year old not being very cooperative. Maybe he was a little too young for this activity. Thank you to the whole team. It was an exceptional experience and the food was delicious! I recommend it!

2.00Guide was very nice but very limited English. Beach stop was very crowded. Long and bumpy boat ride. Scenery was beautiful and sea lion colony great but not worth the trip.
A gorgeous and joyful experience

5.00An extraordinary day! Our captain and guides were so watchful and thoughtful that in addition to the sea lions, we saw multiple pods of dolphins playing, humpback whales cavorting, learned a bit about the beliefs of the indigenous peoples of the archipelago, saw loads of birds, and got a lovely stop in Balandra Bay where we saw the gorgeous beaches without fighting for the opportunity to get in by car. The lunch of ceviche tostadas was completely delicious. Cannot recommend strongly enough!

5.00Our guide was fantastic and is a marine biologist. The captain of the boat was very kind and had a wonderful singing voice. We not only swam with sea lions but saw a sea turtle and humpback whales. We were celebrating a 50th wedding anniversary and this team went above and beyond to make it special.
Great, though the...

Great Tour with a Great Company provided by Great People

5.00This is an excellent excursion with a great company, operated by kind and caring people. Christian went out of his way to reach out early, to text and follow-up with a call. He even talked with our cab driver to ensure we were going to exactly the right spot. Christian speaks excellent English and is very conscientious about the safety and wellbeing of his customers and especially the wildlife he is taking them to see. La Paz is a great place to visit, and this experience is a great part of that visit.

5.00Amazing experience!! The team is super friendly and professional, we learned a lot about the species that live on the island and swimming with the wolves was magical. I found it very important that they give high priority to the preservation of the island by taking care that there is no trash. I highly recommend them!!

5.00It’s a long boat ride, but worth it. There are a lot of sea lions. We also saw and learned about frigate birds.
