All Islands Tour: Espíritu Santo

About

Los Islotes and the islands of Espíritu Santo National Park

Meet your guide at Marina La Paz at 8:00. On board you get biodegradable sunscreen, a wetsuit and snorkel gear, plus a briefing on the environment, safety and the animals.

🦭 Los Islotes A 1.5-hour ride takes you to Los Islotes, north of Espíritu Santo, to snorkel beside the biggest sea lion colony in the Sea of Cortez: more than 800 sea lions and many curious pups. Park rules require a life vest in the water. Sea lion pups were born in June and are incredibly curious and playful. The coral and fish biodiversity is unique.

🏝️ Lunch on a quiet beach Instead of busy Ensenada Grande we usually stop at Candelero or Corralito. Your guide sets up a table, shade and chairs for fresh ceviche, meat and bean-and-cheese burritos, and fruit. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free on request.

🐚 After lunch A short walk on the island to a freshwater well, or more snorkelling on another reef or over the C-59 wreck when visibility allows. Then San Gabriel Bay, where magnificent frigatebirds nest beside the remains of the world's first pearl farm, destroyed in 1910.
