Stunning

This is a spectacular excursion. The snorkeling off the beach is mellow and the beach is an experience you must have.

Best day of my life

Best day of my life to be honest. That might sound dramatic but I mean it. Snorkeling and seeing all sorts of fishes, plants, crabs, sea urchins!

A must do excursion in Loreto.

Everthing was smooth. The inclusions, beer, lunch, chairs, towels as indicated and delivered. Nice day. Wish it was an hour longer. Out at 9.A.M. back at 1:00.

Book it!

We had an excellent experience. We were the only couple on the tour and it felt special for us. Our guide took us to a small beach where we were the only couple. We swam with sea lions and saw a jug pod of 30+ dolphins.

BEST EXCURSION FROM ALL OF MY CRUISES IN MY LIFETIME!!!

This excursion took the #1 spot out of all my cruise excursions in my history of cruising. We had an amazing tour guide with his son & amazing small group of people to go with it! Hundreds of dolphins and sea lions around us. Amazing videos & photos! Fantastic lunch and drinks provided plus a private beach which we spent extra time on for snorkeling, swimming and just to enjoy the sun! Great time to be alive I won't ever forget Coronados!! Five stars all the way!!

Would highly recommend

We had a blast on this tour!! The wildlife and scenery was amazing!! I also loved that our Captain was respectful of the wildlife we saw. There were other boats where the captain was running through pods of dolphins at full speed so a tourist could make a video. Our Captain said that that kind of thing is illegal! The time on the beach will go down in history for me. We met some great people, there were a total of 6 of us. The tequila and beer were quite enjoyable. The beach chairs, shade tent and towels were greatly appreciated as well. Lunch was very simple. A bean and a beef burrito and chips. I would highly recommend this tour!
