Perfect day with amazing sea life - We had an amazing day swimming with the sea lions and whale sharks. Everything was smooth and easy from our pick up and travel to La Paz and touring around on the boat. Our guides were very knowledgeable and helpful in telling us all about the animals and the area. We never felt rushed or crowded. The beach we went to for lunch was one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen and the food was fabulous.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Snorkeling with a whale shark is an absolutely incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience! We went with Explora Baja, and the entire tour was very well organized. From start to finish, we felt safe, informed, and well taken care of. We also loved that we were only 6 guests on the boat! A special thank you to our guide, Abril, who was amazing - she was knowledgeable, patient, and made sure everyone felt comfortable in the water. You can tell she truly cares about both the guests and the animals. Captain Nico was fantastic as well - very professional and experienced. He navigated perfectly and always positioned us in the best spots while keeping safety a top priority. Swimming alongside a whale shark in their natural habitat was simply unforgettable. If we ever come back to Todos Santos / La Paz, we will absolutely book with Explora Baja again!
