Isla Espiritu Santo

Enjoy a daytrip full of excitement on our comfortable shaded boats at this beautiful island just a few miles away from La Paz and experience the contrast of desert and sea. Be amazed by its gorgeous white sandy beaches and turquoise crystal-clear waters. Snorkel with the friendly Sea Lions at Los Islotes, and experience the coral reefs full of colorful fish and marine life. Have fresh ceviche and cold beer at a paradisiacal beach. Along the way, you could see other species like dolphins, sea turtles, whales, mobula rays and many seabirds. This is the perfect destination to practice sustainable eco-tourism and appreciate the rich flora and fauna in the area.*During the summer months of June, July and August, snorkeling with Sea Lions is prohibited because it’s their mating season. During these months, we will take you to alternative snorkeling sites that are just as gorgeous.

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Espiritu Santo Island Snorkeling and Beach Hopping?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
