Additional Information

Espiritu Santo Island is an unforgettable, breathtaking haven!

Having a swim surrounded by frolicsome sea lions is a delightful experience as they often approach swimmers to interact.
(Note: Due to regulations, sea lion rookery excursions are unavailable during June, July, and August. During these months, we view them from the boat and partake in snorkeling and/or hiking at different areas of the island)

We make a consistent effort to guide our guests to less crowded beaches, aiming to provide a unique experience imbued with a sense of adventure that we hold dear.

To wrap it up, gaining insights about the history of early inhabitants, the local wildlife and vegetation, contemporary lifestyle of the residence, and having the accompaniment of marine biology expertise could make your visit an enriching experience.

Only boats with authorized permits and accredited guides are permitted to visit the island.

A wonderful and unforgettable day!!!! - It was a fantastic experience!! Andrea and Christian welcomed us on time and, after explaining in detail the program of the day and offering us the delicious lemonade we immediately left. During the trip we stopped to snorkel near a wonderful reef and Andrea gave us a lot of explanations. We could also swim with female sea lion and it was very very exciting!!! Once we left, Christian spotted a school of dolphins and took us there. It was an amazing experience!!! We were in the middle of about forty dolphins that played around us and stood near us and the boat with incredible visibility even underwater! The day continued by going to see the sea lions and then having lunch a bay with fantastic water in which we could swim again. On the way back, Andrea showed us and described other animals encountered (including rays and sea turtles) and after the last swim, we returned. It was a day I will never forget!!! Meravigliosa!!!

Isla de Santu Spiritu - we went out with Andrea and Christian, for Espiritu Santo Island. Was an amazing days, we seen dolphins and 2 wheles, we went to sea lion place (in August we're not allowed tp swim with them) but she was eplaining so well.. that it looks like we did it :) Andrea told us also about the island and we stop for snorkeling. Our kids were amazed she has always been kind and explaining everything. Tour last from 9 to 15.30 16.00 and it's worth to be done ...

Off the charts experience - We had the best experience with MTA in our tour to Espiritu Santo Island. Our tour guide, Mateo, did an amazing job telling all the fun stories and environmental facts related to the the Espiritu Santo National Park. He is very knowledgeable, fun, and approachable. Our captain, Cristian, kept us safe and made the trip so enjoyable, taking us to marvelous points along our journey. They took us to a small beach for lunch and set everything for us. We enjoyed two types of ceviche, tostadas, dessert and lemonade. This trip had all the elements to make a of this one a memorable visit to Espiritu Santo. We highly recommend them and would definitely choose them again.

Wonderful experience - Making the reservation was very easy, and when I called the office from the US to make sure I had ordered a vegan lunch for my friend, and ask about jellyfish, Karen was very friendly, reassuring and helpful. Antonio and Christian, our guide and boat captain respectively, brought us to beautiful places and were both so knowledgeable about the animals we saw. At one point on the trip a school of dolphins came along side of the boat and Christian expertly and safely rode with them. Karen also went above and beyond to help me with something after the tour ended. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants more than a snorkel excursion.

MTA in Holy Spirit, very good experience - Very good guides those of Mexico Travel Adventure (MTA) from Karen who is always watching that everything works well to the guides and captain of the ship. Alberto accompanied us to the island of the Holy Spirit and both he and the captain made it very worthwhile. We were able to swim with sea lions and snorkel in an area where we are not forbidden (pro the time of year) and we were brought very good ceviches when we arrived at Dan Gabriel Bay to eat, a unique place with beautiful crystal clear waters. Very good experience from start to finish

A Fantastic Trip - Alberto and Christian took us on an extraordinary and really fun adventure today. It included snorkeling with seals, traveling with a pod of fun-loving dolphins, a delicious beach lunch and all kinds of history from pirates and black pearl fishing to the unique geology of the area. If you’re curious (and we were) they will be able to tell you about the mating habits of sea lions, frigate birds and blue footed boobies. They were friendly, hospitable and took good care of us all.
