An experience not to be missed in BCS - Our guide Sergio is a marine biologist and is obviously passionate about what he does. He and boat captain Christian took 9 of us on a wonderful excursion and taught us about not only the sea lions, but also the fish, the birds, the geology and history of the area. They also made sure to emphasize safety and caring for the environment (when they said to bring reef-safe sunscreen, it was a good sign). One member of the group was a little nervous in the water, and Sergio made sure she felt comfortable, so she ended up having a great time. I highly recommend this trip for any visitors to La Paz. What a wonderful day!

A must in La Paz - A beautiful experience with lots of super interesting facts about the island and the wildlife. I loved the combination of informative boat ride with beautiful sights and the activity. Swimming very close with the sea lions was obviously a highlight but I definitely enjoyed the delicious lunch on a beautiful white beach where we could swim as well. Great tour guide and the perfect size of the group on the boat.

Peaceful and relaxing experience - Great to go on this time of the year as you 1) see not so many people and 2) the water temperature is amazingly delicious. Playa Calendero is the most beautiful we saw.

Great tour to swim with the sea lions - Great trip. Andrea did a great job as tour guide and outfitter. The lunch on the beach was delicious. Recommend MTA for swimming with her sea lions in La Paz.

Espiritu Santo Island tour / Sea lion snorkeling - We had a great day with the guys from MTA. We made the Espiritu Santo Island tour. Despite the fact, that the ocean was very rough, our captain, Christian, managed every situation properly. We always felt safe. Mateo, our tour guide, spoke perfect english and had a lot of knowledge in marine life. He enjoyed his job very much. We saw a whole colony of sea lions. A perfect day. We will come back.
