“Awesome adventure to Balandra - Sergio and Alejandro were amazing guides. We started out kayaking in the mangroves at Balandra, snorkeled to see Bruce the giant snapper and hiked along the coast to Tecalote beach. We ended our day enjoying delicious ceviche and lemonade in the shade looking out onto the Sea of Cortez. Stunning views and a wonderful adventure! Well worth the cost.” - Reviewed on 2024-09-26
