“The natural beach has no chairs or shade. We all got stung by jellyfish. They warned us about manta rays but not the jellyfish. Pretty beach but not very friendly waters! Hotel California was the best part but they are closing for renovations in November for 2 years, so be sure to consider that. It will never be seen in it's original state after November”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 107 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) Top rated

Guides such as Charlie, Jesus, and Uvaldo are named in guest feedback.

“Loved the glass boat tour! The glass blowing was great and so was the pearl showing. The only disappointment was, that we weren’t given more time to shop. We assumed the private tour was going to last 7 hours, but we only got 4. For what we paid, it should have been longer!”

We found mobula rays (a lot of them :D) pretty early on in the morning and they worked hard to make sure we were able to swim with them. Our guide Diego especially went out of his way to drag some of us that were slower swimmers lol to catch up with the group - we really appreciated that!!!”

Spend four hours at Chileno Bay with bilingual guides such as Noé, Francisco, Raoul, or Franco. Swim, snorkel, paddle board, or use the transparent kayak, then relax under a shaded beach setup with sandwiches, fruit, snacks, and drinks included.

“Molt bé! El Franco ha estat molt agradable i ens ha explicat curiositats de la zona. Com que degut a la mala mar no es podia fer kayak ni paddle, ens ha acompanyat a fer snorkel a la zona de la barrera de corall, on l’aigua estava més calmada. Experiència molt recomamable!”

The La Paz sights were good and our lunch fantastic. Todos Santos was an amazing town perhaps we could have had an extra 30 minutes there to see more of the town. Overall enjoyed the day thanks to Mario.”
