The lunch they provided was delicious and ite beach was absolutely gorgeous The Miko was a clean, comfortable boat. Chrissy was a fantastic guide We all had a phenomenal time!

Espíritu Santo Island (All Island tour) - From start to finish, the entire crew made me feel comfortable, welcomed, and genuinely cared for—something I truly appreciate. It’s not every day you feel treated like a decent human being, especially when you’re new to something, but they absolutely nailed it. A huge shoutout to Captain Juan, who set the tone with his professionalism and easygoing nature. And our tour guide? Incredibly patient, informative, and reassuring. They took the time to explain everything clearly, never made me feel rushed or out of place, and were always ready to answer any questions. The photos and recordings were top-notch way beyond what I expected. High-quality memories that captured the whole experience perfectly.

5/5 - 5/5 Christian and Juan Carlos were awesome. If you want professional, chill, safe and fun guides book with these guys. The group of sea lions we swam with were friendly and safe. They just did their thing and we let them. It was super fun. After sea lions they took us to Balandra which is about the prettiest place you’ll ever see. They had shade set up for us , AMAZING, Mexican food, drinks, fruit, snacks. We were in heaven. Anyhow go with Tuna Tuna Tours. It was fun and safe and most of all memorable.

Fun day - Really fun small group (10, + 2 staff) boat trip to snorkel among sea lions. We used the wet suit and snorkel, mask & fins from TT, and it was great! And when is rental/borrowed snorkeling equipment ever great?! Usually never! The 2 staff were organized, helpful and positive all day, we felt like we were in good hands. THe staff make a big effort to stop for any interesting, and we had 2 amazing encounters with gray whales (including jumps!). More than expected. The boat ride is long (1.5 hours I think) but it helped to have whales and dolphins to see along the way, and the island is cool once you reach it. The actual snorkeling part is rather short and the water is really cold (end of March) even in wet suits, but the fish were amazing and several younger sea lions came by to playfully check us out. Nice to see some spots on Espiritu Santa Island. Nice outing for sure!

Great day exploring Espiritu Santo! - We had so much fun visiting Espiritu Santo with Tuna Tuna Tours. Our captain Javier and guide Christian were phenomenal and the whole family really enjoyed the day! We loved the pristine beaches, beautiful coral and fun interactions with sea lions. We even saw whales and dolphins on the way out. Such a great way to experience the sea life.

Thank you guys we loved it!!! - We were on the tour with Tuna Tuna last year and decided to do it with them this year again. Everything was very well organized, and the staff is super friendly. Our guide Stephany went above and beyond, she answered all our questions and even give us very helpful info about the rest of our tour. We are definitely coming again! I recommend Tuna Tuna to everyone, I had different experience with La Paz with another company, it was rather disappointing. Tuna Tuna is a gem, chose them if you need a water excursion you will love it!

Fantastic day at Espiritu Santo Island and swimming with the Sea Lions. - Christian was a fantastic guide. Always stopped if we saw something interesting along the way and explained everything about the islands and sea life. Both the captain and Christian ensured it was a special day for all of us. The sea lions were so playful. The wet suit was appreciated. Delicious lunch. Beautiful island beach. Thanks for a wonderful day Tuna Tuna.

Amazing experience! - The guide took us to a full trip of the island, from the pirate bird's area to the mask in the rock. It was very informative, then we swam with the sea lions and a lot of colorful fish, that populates the island. After that, we stopped on a beach to enjoy the sun and an amazing fish ceviche On the way back we stopped briefly to enjoy the company of a few dolphins around us
