About your trip

Experience the breathtaking beauty of Espiritu Santo and La Partida, two of the most stunning islands in the Sea of Cortez. Dive into crystal-clear blue waters rich with vibrant marine life—truly a snorkeler's dream! Don't miss the highlight of the tour: the unique opportunity to swim alongside playful sea lions. Discover a captivating micro-ecosystem bursting with diverse birds, lively fish, radiant coral, and more. During your adventure, you might even spot whales, dolphins, and mobula rays. 


Your journey begins at 10:15 am, with a scenic walk along the Malecon to the government docks, where our team will ensure you have a properly fitted life jacket, snorkel, mask, and wetsuit (From Oct. 15 - May 15). We’ll also provide delicious lunch, refreshing beverages, and tasty snacks to energize you. Departure from the docks is at 11:00 am.


 Please Note:
1) From June 1 - August 31, snorkeling with the sea lions is not allowed at Los Islotes as the females are pupping. We will however, make every effort to swim with the sea lions at San Rafaelito during the Los Islotes closure.

2) To fully enjoy this experience, it is highly recommended that guests possess knowledge of water safety skills and swimming abilities.
3) We require all guests to sign a standard industry waiver before setting off on this unforgettable adventure.
