Posted on Deanna JennessMay 6, 2026 We have family in town that wanted to go out to Espiritu Santos and Balandra. We went out on a private tour with the Spirit of La Paz. There were 6 of us on the tour and the captain, Guillermo and mate/tour guide, Maximo. We had the BEST day. We started out swimming with the sea lions at San Rafaelito then a couple of hours at a beach at Espiritu Santo where we were the only ones there followed by an hour at Balandra eating amazing ceviche and guacamole. These guys were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. We definitely will go out with them again. Highly recommend!!Posted on Elizabeth ValdezMarch 25, 2026 Great excursion! My family got well taken care of. We got great good and plenty throughout the day. Max and Yahir were excellent hostess. We got to swin with sea lions, went to spiritu santo, and balandra. Our trip ended with a very pleasant surprise, we got to see whales! Thank you for such an amazing experience!Posted on Amanda LunaMarch 22, 2026 Excelente atención y servicio de Yair, Max y en general de la empresa. Respondieron a todas nuestras consultas desde que los contactamos. El recorrido cumplió nuestras expectativas, la embarcación súper cuidada y comimos un ceviche delicioso. Fue una gran experiencia!Posted on Jean PfarrMarch 10, 2026 The Spirit of La Paz and its’ crew made for a wonderful experience. Captain Yair ensured our food, beverage, music, snorkeling and water activities were in aligned with our interests. It was such a special treat. I’m not sure how he managed to get a humpback to breach on our way out!Posted on Chloe SorensenFebruary 11, 2026 Loved it! Everyone was helpful, and went above and beyond. They had a plan for us of where to go, with lunch and drinks. Everything was easy from start to finish.Posted on Brittney PaigeJanuary 19, 2026 We took this tour with 11 of our friends and it was by far the highlight of our trip. The captain and his crew took amazing care of us and made sure we always were comfortable, having fun and safe. The only thing I would recommend is bringing towels if you plan to swim as they did not have those on the boat.Posted on Raederle SwansonDecember 4, 2025 We had the best day out on the water with our family. There were 11 of us and It was really great to have it just us and the boat was very comfortable and large enough for us all. The snorkeling gear and other equipment was all top notch. The food was excellent and they catered to our every whim. Definitely recommend taking a day cruise with these guys. We will come back again someday!Posted on Carolyn DoyleNovember 13, 2025 We called in the morning and this team graciously made a private tour work for us. We had four 60 + aged women and the crew was so helpful - they made everything so easy. It was a beautiful 5 hour full experience including Swimming with sea lions, snorkeling with beautiful schools of fish, lunch at Balandra Beach and just hanging out in the sun on the boat deck. Top notch crew, food, beverages, and all the beauty of La Paz. We all highly recommend anyone visiting La Paz…don’t miss this tour and crew!Posted on NROctober 10, 2025 Amazing full day excursion on a private yacht!! We were a group of 8 and had plenty of space.
