“Enjoyed this excursion so much - the concern for these amazing animals is so appreciated in their habitat - Our guide Joe made sure we had a great time and maximized our experience with the whale sharks-our trip over with Raul and Mariowas flawless and informative- so this trip!!”

“What an amazing experience! Juan Carlos and Alberto were excellent guides, so knowledgeable and friendly. You can tell they love taking people out to the island. The equipment was nice and the Captain kept it smooth the whole time. MTA runs a great trip, highly recommend.”

“First I say read all information in every part of the app to stay up to date on information sent to you regarding pick up. We checked out our ticket info and arrived at the time it said, on the ticket it said 5 mlns before the pick up time. When they were not there on time we opened the app where it says to communicate. We then realized under this portion they put meet up instructions and that we were supposed to be there 45 mins earlier. Frustrated I called immediately and spoke with Edmin he was awesome and rescheduled for the next day. The next day came we…”

“We had a good time. The driver was great. Not enough time in the different locations. Lots of time in the seats”

“Nice tour- but be prepared to bring cash, sunscreen, hats, water and eat before you come. We kayaked through the ocean, kayaked through the marshes,and then snorkeled. We also did a small hike up the hill for the views. Then came time for the actual hike, and we opted to get a ride to the beach instead which was the final meet up spot. I am glad i did that because everyone was tired, exhausted, and one of the ladies fell ill because of how strenuous the hike was. It took the group almost two hours to meet us at the beach, while we enjoyed the drinks and the ocean,…”

“Such a great experience! Our tour guide, Francisco, was very kind and provided us a great and safe trip. Balandra beach was beautiful!”

“We had an amazing time! Hector and Delice were amazing guides. So kind and informative! Lunch was amazing. Whole day adventure to the island with a perfect sized boat and amount of people. Highly recommend them and would do it again :)”

“Friendly guides, a good lunch the snorkeling with sea lions was stunning, worth it!”

“This was such an incredible experience!!! It surpassed my expectations. The captain (Mimo) & our guide (Armando) were THE BEST!!! Great boating skills, Great Personalities, Great at their job, & very Knowledgeable. Armando knew exactly how to get everyone to see a perfect view of the whale sharks in the water and made sure everyone was & felt safe on the boat and in the water. Incredible photos/videos taken as well with our guides GoPro for additional charge so you can fully immerse yourself in the experience. My boyfriend and I had a blast and would HIGHLY recommend this experience. Definitely worth the money! And if you love fun boat…”

“Manuel was wonderful, very helpful and nice! Beautiful drive and really loved seeing all over the region. The reason for 2 stars is because Balandra beach is closed and we were never told. I made the reservation months ago and since then a yacht exploded and leaked oil resulting in the closure of the beach. The itinerary that we got right before the tour still included Balandra beach. That was the only reason we booked this tour. The itinerary also mentioned seeing a cathedral but we did not. Instead we went to a jewelry store and watched them harvest a pearl. While the work there was beautiful, we were bummed…”

“Beautiful experience great driver ac went out on our return so it was somewhat hot but other than that we were treated VIP”

“Stephanie really makes this tour top notch. She's a marine biologist and she shares her wealth of information. Her organization skills even more impressive ability to remember names. She is a strong swimmer and determined to assure your swim with the whalesharks. Nice picnic on Balandra Beach. We also viewed the sea lions at the mature colony. (Versus the reproductive colony at Los Isolotes). Well worth it!”

“We had such a nice time with Juan. We enjoyed learning about the history of Lapaz and the foods that we were eating. There were many beautiful murals to view as we ate and explored the city. Juan was knowledgeable, very easy to understand (English) and friendly. We ate at places we never would have stopped at if we hadn’t been with Juan. We had a wonderful experience! Thank you, Juan!”

“Great tour around the coast. We were excellently guided through the water to swim with the whale sharks!”

“If you're visiting La Paz, this private tour is a must! The Snorkel with Sea Lions and Espiritu Santo Island experience is exactly as described — an intimate adventure for you and your family or friends on a small boat with a dedicated guide and pilot. Our journey began with an unexpected highlight: we followed a whale for several minutes, an incredible bonus to start the day. We made a brief stop at Balandra Beach (remaining in the boat) before crossing the ocean to Espiritu Santo Island — a breathtaking destination in itself. Once there, you’ll have the unforgettable opportunity to snorkel with playful sea lions — they swim right…”
