Review of La Paz Ocean Safari: swim with mobulas, dolphins and sea lions, with a marine biologist, small groups, lunch and honest practical tips.

Juan Carlo & Berto were the best guides and took us to so many cool spots - saw humpback whales, dolphins, sea turtles, marlin, stingray pod, swam with sea lions and snorkeled along the coral reef and swam in the nature’s aquarium. We got back in the afternoon as the wind kicked in and boated through a tonne of kite & wind surfers. Such a memorable day for our family!”

They took the Go Pro and filmed it, so all we had to do was enjoy. We had plenty of time to enjoy them, and then we went to Chileno Bay for more snorkeling, this time in the reef. We saw all kinds of fish and even a turtle. The guides were amazing and very knowledgeable. The footage is amazing! If you are going to snorkel, do this trip! It is clearly the best one out there!”
