Excellent tour with a small group - Had an amazing experience with Tuna Tours! We spent a lot of time with the whale sharks and with not too many other people around. Cristian was an excellent guide.

Only a few places in the world to experience this sea life! Go to La Paz - A bucket list experience! Christian and Marco were amazing! We saw 5 whale sharks and spend 30 mins swimming with one of them. Then sea lions, huge fish ball, king angels and the list goes on!

Tuna Tuna is the BEST! - We had an amazing tour with Cristian and Marco. Our group was only 3 people and we lucked out with having amazing weather and calm seas. We saw 6 whale sharks and a special treat of a manta ray. The tour was well organized and staff were friendly. The equipment (wet suits and snorkel gear) was in excellent condition and fit well. We were actually scheduled for the tour on a different day but Tuna Tuna tours contacted us a few days early to explain there is windy weather and marina closure that day and rescheduled us to an earlier date. So thankful they rearranged this experience for us so we didn’t miss out since it was the highlight of the trip. Cristian also took Go Pro pictures and video that were emailed to us 24 hrs later, included in the price of the tour.

Magical whale shark tour - Fantastic experience with Marco and Cristian! They were super knowledgeable and friendly, and most important, respectful of the animals. We got to swim with multiple whale sharks and Cristian took great pictures and videos of our experience. We got a bonus swim with a manta ray, we were the only group to do it! Overall a magical experience. With only three customers on the boat, it was so nice to not be crowded or have to take turns. Would highly recommend this tour company! The weather for the date we originally reserved for was going to be windy, but they helped us reschedule so we wouldn’t miss out.

Nice - As far as whale shark experiences go, this is way more ethical and authentic than some of the other ones I’ve witnessed. Very knowledgeable and respectful guides and not overly crowded or harassing the whale sharks. Definitely worth the money.

Dreams do come true - You can have dreams, and then see that your dreams come true. Watching my 7 year old daughter’s face while she was discovering the whale sharks as the boat approached them was one of those moments when you know that magic exits. But the best part was the guide and capitán at Tuna Tuna, Christian and Juan Carlos made our experience even more magical. They helped my daughter with every single detail, and took care of her personally inside the water. I had seen the whale shark in xol box years ago but the experience I had with Tuna Tuna was amazing. They take care of every single Detail and respect every person and their rythm in getting comfortable with the water, the gear. It is said that a big part of any experience is the people you share it with, tuna tuna made us all feel like very comfortable and happy on the boat, if I where to do it again I wouldn’t doubt one second on going with Tuna and Tuna gain. Try it, you won’t regret it.

Snorkeling with Whale Sharks - My wife and I were in Los Cabos for a week and we wanted to try something that had been on my bucket list for a while now. We did some research and came across Tuna Tuna Tours. They were easy to book online and explained the process on how the tours worked. We booked the Whale Shark, Sea Lion and Balandra Bay tour. We were all set to go for the following day, but were informed that evening the tour was cancelled due to the Harbour Master shutting down the harbour due to the strong winds. We still elected to make the 2 1/2 hour drive to La Paz to go and explore Balandra Bay. After hitting the beach and doing a couple small hikes for views of the Balandra Bay. Juan Carlos messaged us and said that the harbour had re-opened and wanted to know if we were still interested in going on just the Whale Shark tour. We were up for the trip and they were willing to wait on us to arrive before departing. We met Juan Carlos at the marina where he introduced us to our Captain (Juan) and Marine Biologist (Carla) that would be taking us on our tour. They were very professional in their duties and explained to us all about the whale sharks. The boat and the snorkel equipment was well maintained. There was adequate dry storage on the boat to keep your personal belongings safe and secure. We were out on the water for 2 hours which flashed by. It was great to have a personalized tour with these amazing animals and an experience we wont forget anytime soon. I would highly recommend booking your whale shark snorkel trip with Tuna Tuna tours.
