An extraordinary experience. - The guides are sincere, caring and passionate! It was a great experience for my whole family despite my 4 year old not being very cooperative. Maybe he was a little too young for this activity. Thank you to the whole team. It was an exceptional experience and the food was delicious! I recommend it!

A gorgeous and joyful experience - An extraordinary day! Our captain and guides were so watchful and thoughtful that in addition to the sea lions, we saw multiple pods of dolphins playing, humpback whales cavorting, learned a bit about the beliefs of the indigenous peoples of the archipelago, saw loads of birds, and got a lovely stop in Balandra Bay where we saw the gorgeous beaches without fighting for the opportunity to get in by car. The lunch of ceviche tostadas was completely delicious. Cannot recommend strongly enough!

Our guide was fantastic... - Our guide was fantastic and is a marine biologist. The captain of the boat was very kind and had a wonderful singing voice. We not only swam with sea lions but saw a sea turtle and humpback whales. We were celebrating a 50th wedding anniversary and this team went above and beyond to make it special.

Great Tour with a Great Company provided by Great People - This is an excellent excursion with a great company, operated by kind and caring people. Christian went out of his way to reach out early, to text and follow-up with a call. He even talked with our cab driver to ensure we were going to exactly the right spot. Christian speaks excellent English and is very conscientious about the safety and wellbeing of his customers and especially the wildlife he is taking them to see. La Paz is a great place to visit, and this experience is a great part of that visit.

My trip to the island - Amazing experience!! The team is super friendly and professional, we learned a lot about the species that live on the island and swimming with the wolves was magical. I found it very important that they give high priority to the preservation of the island by taking care that there is no trash. I highly recommend them!!

It’s a long boat ride,... - It’s a long boat ride, but worth it. There are a lot of sea lions. We also saw and learned about frigate birds.

Amazing!!! - They say things happen for a reason, well…Carnival cancelled our excursion swimming with the sea lions the day before we docked in La Paz. This was on our bucket list so I immediately starting searching for an excursion that we could book to swim with the sea lions. We found this excursion with Salty Life and to say it was amazing is an understatement. Fernando was in contact with us as soon as we booked to answer any questions and let us know where to meet. Maritza and Ramon were the best! Maritza is a marine biologist, how cool to have an excursion with a marine biologist!! She answered all our questions and was so accommodating. We had someone in our group that was a little timid with the snorkeling and being close to the sea lions. Maritza was so calm and reassuring, she made my friend feel at ease. We spent a long time with the sea lions, which was amazing! Then we went to a beautiful beach and had lunch made by the captain. They even set up umbrellas and chairs for us. I am so glad that our excursion with Carnival got cancelled. This experience was amazing and exceeded all of our expectations! Do not hesitate to book this tour with Salty Life, you will not regret it!

Not as advertised - Guide was very nice but very limited English. Beach stop was very crowded. Long and bumpy boat ride. Scenery was beautiful and sea lion colony great but not worth the trip.
