About

We headed to explore two natural areas in the same day The adventure begins from the moment we take the boat with a ride through the Bay of La Paz, if we are lucky during the trip, we will be able to see: a family of dolphins, whales, turtles and different marine species. First stop will be Gaviota Island, part of the Balandra ANP where we can see different endemic and migratory birds. Our first snorkel point, we will have it in San Rafaelito ANP Balandra, we will have the opportunity to have close contact with Sea Lions, respecting their habitat, following the rules that your local guide will have to inform you before and in each descent will be supporting you . In this site of interest we can also see coral, yellow-legged gulls, sardines, snappers and several species that are considered exclusive to the region. We continue to get to know the cataloged "most beautiful beach in Mexico", and we will go down in the beach front 2 of Balandra, which we baptize as Balandra Vip and we will be about 20 to 30 minutes and later from above the boat, we will observe the representative mushroom that characterizes this famous beach . A few minutes later, we will be at the final point of the destination, Espíritu Santo Island, part of the archipelago of the same name, characterized by its beautiful beaches with crystalline waters and soft white sands, we will visit several points of interest, such as San Gabriel Bay, El Gallo and La Gallina, Bahía El Candelero, Isleta La Ballena and Playa La Ballena, once again we will dive into “The Aquarium of the World”, and we will practice another snorkel among corals and fish, a site of exceptional beauty that is this World Heritage Island.
