The vegan option for food was delicious! We had a lot of fun and learned a lot about the biodiversity. Got to see a lot of cool animals and our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable!
Awesome time!

Sea Lions, Private Beach and Delicious Ceviche!
Marlon_K, Apr 2024
Had a great time going out to Espiritu Santo and snorkeling with sea lions! Sea lions were very playful and it was amazing getting to snorkel with them. They also took us to a pristine beach that we had all to ourselves, where they served us delicious ceviche, before we headed back. Tour was very well organized and the guide and captain took great care of us. He was very knowledgeable too!
'Island of the Holy Spirit' says it all.
Sue_P, Mar 2024
Island of the Holy Spirit is, in a word, absolute. Our guides, Christian and Valentina, were very knowledgable and especially gracious. The food was delightful. This is the best tour I have ever been on. What a blessing.
Excellent Day Trip!
Aimee_G, Mar 2024
Start to finish, communication was excellent. Our trip needed to be postponed due to wind (which I’m guessing is can be common) and the admin staff, Karen, was very helpful and made sure that we were able to attend another tour day that worked for us. Andrea, the lead guide, meet us on-time at the meeting spot. She was extremely engaging, knowledgeable and kind. She spoke fluent English and Spanish (maybe other languages too?) and ran a very smooth trip. Cristian, the boat captain, was also very kind and excellent at his job. They made a great team! The snorkeling was fantastic! We were able to interact with young sea lions and snorkel around and view that numerous fish. My only wish was to be able to snorkel longer. I understand that the time allotment is regulated and the valuable role that regulation plays in protecting the sea life, but nonetheless I could have snorkeled 3x longer. The snorkel portion was about 45 minutes. We had an amazing lunch on a lovely beach. The ceviche was outstanding. We viewed wildlife and historic sites both on the way to the rookery and back, and that was both very interesting and an enjoyable pause in the boat ride. My only complaint would be the life jackets. They were uncomfortable and difficult to snorkel in. All in all, an excellent trip. Thank you!
Amazing experience on tour of Espíritu Santo Island

Amazing tour. The captain Chacho and the guides Otto and Alonso were excellent ! They were very patient, attentive and provided a lot of interesting information about the flora and fauna of the island. It was great to swim so close to the sea lions and see the corals. We had a delicious lunch on a great beach on the way back, I highly recommend this tour
What an Adventure!

Our guide Maria and Capitan Chris were fabulous! They were very personable and knowledgeable of the sea life, great communicators in both English and Spanish. Snorkeling with the sea lions was amazing, the lunch was delicious, And the boat ride was fun. We saw dolphins, frigate birds, boobies, terns, and many reef fish. Everything about this trip was A+. What an adventure!
The sea lions were playful and plentiful.

Lorenza was an outstanding guide, and Christian was a wonderful captain. The sea lions were playful and plentiful. A day to remember.
Absolutely amazing!!!
Christina_S, Feb 2024
Our experience with MTA to visit Espíritu Santo was amazing!!! The tour guide, Mateo, was extremely knowledgeable and the captain, Christian, made the passage very smooth even given the choppy conditions. Swimming amongst the sea lions was the highlight of our trip.
Great day on the boat!
Christine_I, Jan 2024
Andrea was a wonderful guide and Christian was an excellent captain of the boat. We were able to get up close and personal with the sea lions. Had a lovely lunch on a secluded beach, and even saw a whale in the distance. A great way to spend the day!
The one tour worth doing again
Tommie_L, Dec 2023
Sea lion pups everywhere! It was an unbelievable experience swimming with them. Valentina was very knowledgeable about the ecosystem and ensured everyone was comfortable and safe. We were lucky enough to see humpback whales on the way out. Ceviche lunch was delicious and beautiful on a private beach.
100% recommended!
Jorge_S, Nov 2023

Amazing experience. Seals were great and scenery and stops were beautiful. Ideal for teens and adults that are adventurous…
Highly Recommend!!
Julie_W, Nov 2023
Great company, fantastic tour. Karen reached out shortly after booking which was helpful as we booked last minute, and provided info regarding parking and where to meet our guides. Matteo, Lorenza and Arturo were fantastic! They provided very educational information, were fun and laid back, but always felt safe and looked after. Swimming with the sea lions was amazing, and would recommend this trip for anyone up for a day adventure!
Espiritu Island magic, with sea lions, caves, birds, beaches and dolphins!
Jennifer_D, Oct 2023
Took an amazing boat tour to Espiritu Island. Learned a lot about the area, the geography, local birds and vegetation. Our guide Matteo was super knowledgeable and had great passion for it all. Also learned about the Sea Lions that we would swim with. We snorkeled in amazing blue/green waters and saw different types of fish, coral and SEA LIONS! It was amazing! Then on the way back we ran into dolphins! Our boat captain knew exactly how to circle around and get them to chase us. So fantastic!
Amazing
Anna_N, Sep 2023
Matteo was a friendly and knowledgeable guide. We had a great time. The beaches and water were idyllic.
Dive La Paz team was exceptional!
gitaneroyce, Sep 2023
The entire team- Dive in La Paz shop staff, captain, guides- was professional, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Biologist Hugo was exceptional. An extremely perceptive guide in the water - expertly getting us close to and pointing out sea life but always safe. He described the antics of the sea life and birds with humor. The fresh local catch ceviche lunch was delicious! The Vegan ceviche was amazing! My 16 year old daughter and I had a great time and will return.
Would do over and over again
Rafael_C, Sep 2023
Fabulous tour guide (Mateo is a marine biologist by training) putting into context all the sights we saw of a stunningly beautiful place.
Fantastic knowledgeable...
Torgeir_B, Jul 2023
Fantastic knowledgeable guide, wonderful tour. Lots to see - and nice variation of activities! An adventure never to be forgotten. First snorkling stop - wow, my best snorkling experience ever. Such an abundance of fish, with even two sea lions swimming around!
Gran tour
