The collection and cultivation of pearls has been very relevant both economically and culturally in the history of Baja California Sur. In the VXI century, Spanish sailors found something extraordinary in this arid territory that caught their attention, it was not the magnificent sunsets or the contrast of the crystal clear sea and the desert, it was the beautiful pearls of the Gulf of California.
We will have lunch in El Paraje. In the malecon in La Paz either Fish or Chicken or vegetarian plate.
We have free time included so you can take photos, have a drink or just enjoy the beauty of the city.
Todos Santos is a small Magical town, located on the Pacific coast of the southern part of the Baja California peninsula. Located halfway between La Paz and Cabo San Lucas on Hwy 19, this charming place is one of the first settlements in Baja California and has a long and colorful history. On this visit we will see Hotel California the shops and art galleries for which Todos Santos is very well known all located in the center of town. We will visit for 1 hour.

The van used for this long day had NO a/c and there were 14 of us in the van. People were packed like sardines. Also, there was a cooler with water but NO ICE the water was hot. By the time we had one last stop to todos santos city we just couldn’t take it anymore, no A/c, no cold water, packed like sardines, and also it was HOT outside. We waited an 1hr at an Oxxo to be picked up by another van just to go back to the resort. Overall terrible tour experience.
Do not buy with this company are a fraud stopped by us at 4:30 in the morning punctual and never arrived, then they say that if they passed and even photo of the hotel lobby sent. When we were there the whole time and they never made it. Even hotel security guards are witnessing.
Una disculpa por esta situacion. solo que su reservacion no fue hecha por su agente de ventas externo.
Had a great time in this tour Size was good Not huge bus but a smaller group of 12 Our guide Kafaya was very nice and friendly Always giving us clear directions for all the activities
thank you
We took the tour with Kafaya, and it has definitely been a unique experience. Their professionalism and friendliness stand out considerably making the tour pleasant. The price for the tour is pretty good considering everything that is done. We'll definitely be back.
mil gracias
We had went on the tour with Kafaya to La Paz, Balandra, and Todos Santos and the adventure was the most authentic and amazing thing I’ve seen in a while. Kafaya was a great tour guide, super charismastic, and made the tour feel as if we were on a mobile adventure. Definitely recommend if you have a full day to spare.
thank you very much
The service was really very bad. They told us they were coming to pick us up at 5.00am. When they arrived they had left us the worst seats in a very small and old bus. On a journey of more than 13 hours the seats were uncomfortable and narrow and could not be reclined either. When claiming the driver he only told us that he was simply a driver and that if we were not comfortable we would get off and talk to the company to see if the next day they had a space. In the end, we were only told that if we wanted to be comfortable we would have to pay for a private service that they offered, but which cost three times more than the group. Certainly, the service was terrible. I recommend NOT taking any services with this tour company. It's terrible.

This was a great way to see La Paz and Todos Santos for the first time. Our tour guide Bernardo was very friendly and made us feel welcome. Some of the stops were a little short on time but we still were able to see the main attractions. If you like the beach Balandra does not disappoint. We highly recommend 😀
We greatly apreciate youre comments thank you very much
Money was stolen. We booked a sloop tour from Los Cabos. Advisor Daniel told us a 500mxn advance. The hurricane arrived so we were canceled the weather tour h never made the return. They say they know Daniel worse than he works as a freelancer, they can't do anything. I feel that a serious Enterprise should know how to respond to these eventualities. We had a very hard time and they having knowledge did nothing. I don't recommend it.
Lamentamos no poder haber dado servicio. Por seguridad de cada uno de nuestros huespedes en los cabos no era posible salir al recorrido. saber esta situacion nos da tristeza ya que la empresa no se maneja de esa manera. en este caso en particular de agentes de ventas externos la empresa no se hace responsables. Una disculpa no estabamos enterados que no le realizo el agente de ventas externo su devolucion. Podemos hacer presion ante su agente de ventas externo para la devolucion si usted mos pasa la informacion correspondiente. Con gusto le apoyamos.
Although a very long day, with Kafaya as my tour guide, he made the trip fun & interesting. He translates into English and helped to make our mixed language and broad age group feel very cohesive. I felt very welcome as an English-speaking solo female traveler. I am experienced in solo international travel, but I would also feel safe having my 20-year-old daughter go on this tour on her own with Kafaya as her tour leader. The water is so crystal clear here, I was blown away. I could see fish, crabs and rocks clearly without goggles in the shallower areas of Bandaras. I heard the warning about the rays in advance and how sliding your feet in the sand will scare them away before you get jabbed, but I missed the warning about the jelly fish. Nothing too bad, but I felt a little sting for a few hours (bee stings have hurt worse), but I never actually saw the jelly fish that got me. It may be wise to bring something with you in the event that happens as I saw some parents panicking on the beach when their little one got stung and they didn’t know what to do to help her. The second beach we visited was fabulous too. I actually spent time swimming on the left side of the pier, since it was less crowded than the right side. The beach has free showers and changing rooms as well. In La Paz, after a quick mission stop for photos, we got to see how pearls are made in a fine jewelry store on our next stop. We the. got to take photos in the area, grab snacks or shop for a little bit before heading to lunch. The restaurant we went to for lunch has fantastic ceviche, but wow! it was a LOT of ceviche, I am a healthy eater and I could not manage to finish it all. Another traveler let me sample his baked fish and vegetable dish and it was really good too as was the hibiscus tea. We were also grateful for the massive fan they have set up to keep the restaurant cool for us. We then made our last stop in Todos Santos where we got to see the Hotel California and another mission. In all three locations I was able to find the big colorful letters and take photos. Plenty of opportunities to buy souvenirs on this trip too. Kafaya was kind enough to pull over on the drive home so we could take photos of the stunning sunset over the water. I had such a fantastic time and would recommend this trip to friends and family. I would even do it again!
Thank you
The tour was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Balandra Beach is a real paradise: crystal clear water, scenery and tranquility make you not want to leave. In La Paz we enjoyed the sea wall, tasted delicious food and got to know the city a little more. Finally, Todos Santos was the perfect closure, with its Artistic Mood, colorful streets and a lot of good energy. The whole tour was very well organized, the guide was attentive, friendly and always willing to answer questions. We had just enough time to enjoy each stop without rush. I definitely recommend this tour, it is very worth it and I would do it again without hesitation!
gracias
