Guides supervise interactions and the animals typically approach on their own; follow instructions, avoid touching, and don’t pursue them in the water.
Typical inclusions are boat transport, snorkeling equipment, certified guide, beachfront lunch and refreshments (check the operator for exact menus and limits such as two beers per person).
Families are welcome but infants usually must sit on an adult’s lap; the operator recommends a moderate fitness level and basic swimming for participants.
Operators monitor weather and may cancel for safety—bring motion‑sickness meds if you’re prone to seasickness and arrive early to get a stable spot on deck.
The islands have long been used by local fishers and are part of broader Gulf of California conservation efforts that recognize their marine biodiversity.
The area sits within protected marine zones—visitors should use reef‑safe products, avoid disturbing wildlife, and follow guide instructions to minimize impact.
