Espiritu Santo Island, Sea Lions & Paddleboard Adventure

Overview

Explore one of the most remarkable natural settings in Baja California Sur. Espíritu Santo Island, part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, brings together wildlife, majestic landscapes, pristine beaches and crystal-clear blue waters

Cruise across the sea looking for frigate birds and more than 400 sea lions, then slip into the water to snorkel and discover marine life beneath the surface

But Espíritu Santo is just as special out of the water. Step onto a pristine beach, enjoy lunch by the sea, then grab a paddleboard, take another swim or simply relax with the turquoise water in front of you

What makes the island unforgettable is the contrast: desert landscapes meeting the sea, wildlife above and below the water, and peaceful beaches surrounded by the wild beauty of Baja

Sea lions, snorkeling, paddleboarding, pristine beaches and a UNESCO World Heritage setting come together in one day adventure across the Sea of Cortez

This is one La Paz adventure you simply won't want to miss
