Adventure to Espiritu Santo Island: Snorkel with Sea Lions and Beach
Description
Espiritu Santo Island is an incredible paradise that you will never forget! The experience of swimming with sea lions is very nice, they are playful and they usually come close to interact with the swimmers. (During the months of June, July, and August, swimming with sea lions in their rookery is not allowed, so we just see them from the boat and snorkel and/or hike at another site of the island) We always try to take our clients to the beaches where there are less people, so that they get a unique experience with the feeling of adventure that we like so much. Finally, learning about the history of the ancient settlers, the fauna and flora of the area, the current lifestyle of the locals, and being accompanied by marine biologist guides will make your day a very enriching one. It can only be visited on boats with permits and certified guides.

Genuinely one of the most magical experiences we’ve had. Christian was our captain and Alberto was our guide. They were both incredibly knowledgeable about the ecosystems in the area, were accommodating for our allergies, and made the trip that much better. The ocean was truly remarkable, and the whole trip was really well balanced. I could not recommend this place enough.
One of the best trip ever. Our guide Mateo is a marine biologist and has wealth of information. Made every minute interesting. Snorkeling few different places and with sea lions. Lunch on private beach with super clear water. Christian the boat captain was very good too. We will book another trip with them next time.
Very good experience. The guide Omar was very attentive.
This was one of the best tours I’ve been on. We’re not really the ‘tour type’ but we were looking for something fun to do on our vacation for my partner’s birthday and the reviews for this were so good. It far exceeded our expectations! The snorkeling was incredible. We saw so much amazing wildlife: dolphins, birds, Mobula rays, sea lions, and so many kinds of fish. Maja, Christian, and Omar were incredible guides, so knowledgeable, kind and fun! They taught us a ton about the local ecology and history of the area. 10/10, would recommend this to anyone and would do it all over again.
We had an incredible time thanks to the guides, who taught us and explained every animal we saw. We swam with sea lions and snorkeled in reefs. 100% recommended.
My daughter & I had a wonderful day on this tour!! We highly recommend it. The only thing I would say is that we had a hard time finding the meeting point. Otherwise, it was an absolutely perfect day. Our guide & captain were so kind & helpful. They made us a beautiful lunch and were extremely knowledgeable about the area we visited. 10 stars!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Boat captain Cristian was amazing and very friendly and experienced! Maja is an incredible guide, giving clear instructions while on the trip, including many things about the flora and fauna and past history. It was a beautiful trip. Worth it!
Highly recommended, the crew made extra effort for us to see the mobula rays which is such a special moment
Our trip to Espíritu Santo Island was absolutely spectacular. We snorkeled with playful sea lions, explored a vibrant coral reef, and enjoyed an incredible ceviche lunch right on the beach. We also spotted dolphins and sea turtles along the way. The highlight of the day was swimming with mobula rays — a truly unforgettable experience. Chris and Omar were fantastic guides: friendly, flexible, and highly professional, always looking out for everyone in the group. Highly recommend this tour!
It was truly one of the best experiences of my life. The whole team was absolutely incredible. Everyone was so kind, welcoming, professional, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Their explanations throughout the day were fascinating and made the experience so much more meaningful. You can really feel how much they care about sharing this place with their guests. The boat was perfect, comfortable, the lunch was delicious, and the island was simply breathtaking. Thank you all so, so much for making this day so special. I couldn’t recommend this experience more. I will remember it forever. Luna
