Our two guides were delightful, and very knowledgeable about the biology, geology, and history of the region. You can bring your own wetwear and snorkeling gear (some type of neoprene wetsuit is best; 1.5 - 2mm was appropriate for the weather and water temp on our visit, you might need 3mm at the coldest part of the year), or rent a wetsuit (quite cheaply) and borrow a snorkel and mask for free.

I'm sure other…read moreoutfitters do a fine job bringing you to see the sealions, but I doubt they can do it with as much love and excitement as Captain Alberto and his mate Alan. What makes this trip unique is that Alan is a genuine Marine Biologist who has a true love of the ocean and all its life that it offers. We left the pier around 10am. It took an hour and 45 minutes to arrive at the SeaLion rookery cause along the way they stop and show you local bird life and other points of interest. The SeaLion area is amazing. The sights and sounds of the beautiful animals in there native habitat is humbling. THAN you get to snorkel up close and they are very playful. Like puppies. One even kissed my wrist. About 45 minutes there. After we motor to a private beach where they spread out a tasty lunch(Homemade Ceviche!). After lunch, an hour of snorkelling in a protected cove. We had time to stop at a deeper cove to freedive for about 15 mins. Than the ride back to the dock. I have heard said many times that if you love what you do for a living, it's not a job. I really witnessed that today with Alberto and Alan. Just a GREAT tour that I won't ever forget. Just a word of caution, the area where the SeaLions reside had a very strong undercurrent today. I had to really kick with flippers a little bit to get away from boat. I was told this is unusual for this area. With a life vest on, It wasn't that big of a deal, but You should be ready for it. I can't wait to come back next year to swim with Whale Sharks. It will definitely be with Alan and Alberto.

I had originally booked for Nov, 4 weeks into the usual season, but this year the government held season up for 6 weeks, so I had to reschedule further down the calendar by 2 months to make sure season would be going. Anna and the team were very communicative during that whole time. Even the first day of my rescheduled trip was cancelled due to high winds, but once again Anna was very communicative and refunded that day immediately. Luckily, the second day was a GO and I finally got to meet Anna and the crew of Angel and Pachito were just excellent the whole day; Angel is part fish because he just kept swimming and swimming and swimming along with the whale shark, while we all gassed out and swapped groups. I whole-heartedly recommend them for your Whale Shark experience or anything that they offer because they're an excellent operation.

We originally booked our trip through Mar Y Aventuras but they couldnt book the tour since they…read moreneeded at least 4 people to go and my wife and I were the only ones that were willing. The company then asked us if we wanted to go snorkeling which we agreed to but little did we know that it was with another company. We later found out when a taxi arrived to take us to the pier which ended up being with Marlin Adventures. At first we were disappointed that we werent booked with our original operator but in hindsight we are so happy. Th tour we got was to snorkel with sea lions. First let us tell you that it didnt start out great. All but 2 of us on this tour were same day bookings. One of the groups was having breakfast and were told to take their time for breakfast. So our 9am departure became 10. We left with tensions high with the angst of losing an hour of our tour (which the company said wouldnt effect the tour and that the hour lost would be gained at the tail end). All the tension was soon alleviated as we departed from the beach. As we are leaving to get our tour started there was pod of dolphins following our boat! The captain proceeded to drive in circles as he saw the delight of the passengers. Some of us went to the front to experience the dolphins jumping from the front and some of us stayed in the back to watch them follow and jump from the rear of the boat. On our way to Espiritu Santo, Arturo, our tour guide came up to me and told me to keep an eye out for whales. Not 3 seconds go by and boom, Whale!!! We then proceeded to follow the whale for the next 20 minutes! Another bonus we got for leaving late! It takes about 2 hours to get to the sea lion colony from La Paz and let me tell you that it was all worth it! The pups like to get up close and personal. They will swim right up to you. My wife later told me that there was one pup swimming and playing right around me constantly trying to stay out of my eyesight. He later jumped over my head and swam away and that was the time that I noticed it. Others will playfully bite your arm if you let it. The people that let the pups bite them told us that it didnt hurt at all, they were just curious. Since they have no hands, biting is how they explore. If you are a diver and with a snorkeling companion, this is a great tour to do. During the tour I also found out that the whale sharks are still there. The whale sharks are supposed to be gone, but they are still there. So after 5 years of trying to find them this was finally my chance. We booked a tour the following day to snorkel with them. The whale sharks are not located far from where we were. After about 20 minutes we found our first one. You see it from the boat and they tell you how big it is, but it doesnt prepare you for when you are in the water and face to face with this gentle giant. We spent maybe an hour with the whale sharks. It could have been longer but I was the only one jumping in at the end so I agreed to head back to town. I do have to tell you that I believe the last whale shark I jumped in with was very curious of me. I was the only on e in the water and I swear that the thing was following me. We just kept going in circles and circles. For both tours we had Arturo. He is very knowledgeable about the area and about the sea life. We found out that his girlfriend is a marine biologist and this is where he gets all his information. He is a little crazy but in a good way. Also before your tour, have breakfast in the place behind the tour office. Sebastian will tell you not to look at the menu and just ask you a bunch of questions to see what to cook. You want american or mexcican? Eggs or no eggs? Hungry or snacky? then he will whip up something for you. If you want he also has "happy butter" for those that need to ease some tension.

Dellis was excellent with our younger son (9yrs old) who was a little nervous in the water. She was always watching out for everybody in our group to ensure we had a good view of the whale shark. Our boat captain (Martin) did a great job keeping the boat close by so we could alternate going out (we had a total of 7 in our tour group) as there can only be a total of 6 people in the water (to include the guide) at any one time. They provided all the snorkel gear to include wet suits, mask, snorkel & fins. They also had a cooler with complimentary water & sodas for our group. Excellent service and we will be back the next time we are in Baja! They also accept credit cards. Highly recommend this company...their gear & boat are in excellent condition. Plus friendly service make it 5 stars!

I enjoyed the humpback whale expedition which came with a free lunch and drinks. We saw a lot of action not terribly far from shore. They also offered a photo workshop. Believe this is more useful for folks that use a digital camera as opposed to a cell phone camera although she gave some tips on that as well. Both were complimentary (on March 11). There was nothing wrong with the trip per se but there are many parts that occurred to get you to where you end up finally. Everyone was nice but I feel like there is a drop in communication as there are too many parts of the wheel. The charter flight was about 2 and half hours so make sure you use the restroom. There is NO bathroom on board. Also for clothing, please make sure you are covered from head to toe. This is NO joke. The weather may seem hot as hades on shore except at night, prepare for windy freezing conditions (they provided a heater AND heating blankets). When you are on the panga and travelling fast, it will be windy and probably cold. However, when you are waiting for some action, you are under the sun in water. Do NOT wear shorts and bring a cover-up for your face as well. Caps/hats are all good ideas. They offered the gaiters and a wind breaker. I commend the luxury tent. This is really what you are paying for. The fact that you get your own porta-potty and running water was fantastic. The shower had more settings than my own shower. They also offer room service so if you don't want it, please let them know. The food was decent as well. Breakfast is buffet and there is a person who can make you an omelet and the lunch and dinner are plated. Honestly, unless you enjoy the feeling of a 5 star hotel, don't think it was necessary. You honestly don't have that much time to eat during this trip. The time is literally spent getting ready for and the whale excursions. There's a volleyball net, soccer goals & bikes for you but it was so windy and honestly not much time to do any of that. Happy Hour had a different "snack" each day (oyster one was awesome) but no alcohol is free except for the one you get when you get off the plane. The food and service was wonderful. Was every dish a 5? No, but you are in a place where they have to import everything. There is also a nightly 30 minute? presentation given by some of your tour leaders. This tour company had the furthest spot (closest to the airport) so you spend a good 30 minutes (travelling quite fast) to get to the area where the whales are (and don't forget the return trip). We saw plenty of whales but everyone is there to "touch" a whale. The last day there, all the boats in our area did manage to touch one and our boat collided with another panga. Luckily all, including the whale, were unharmed but needless to say, our panga did NOT touch one. It also sounded like the whales were not coming to that area as much anymore. In fact, some were spotted in Cabo. Pro Tips: You should ask they rotate the people on the boats so you're not always with the same captain or panga. If you don't mind sharing a central porta-potty, pick a tour company that is closer to the area where they gather. You will have more free time. Don't drink any diuretics before the panga rides as bathrooms are limited to nature (although some boats do have a bathroom). Pangas that are lower might be better because than when you reach over the boat, you're closer to the surface of the water and don't have to bend over as much. This is a desert area so keep that in mind when packing.

They had a great positive attitude, and were able to work with all the detailed and unique requests my client had. Nothing was too difficult for Trevor. The best part was that she LOVED the trip and LOVED the diving. Baja Connections took great care of her while there, and made sure she experienced the best diving in the area. She can't stop talking about them or the diving. I would absolutely work with Baja Connections again, and would definitely consider doing so in other parts of Mexico and beyond - I understand they are creating a program that would combine diving in the Yucatan with diving in La Paz. Trevor has worked in diving all over the world and has an extensive knowledge worth tapping into. Net/net - if you are looking at diving, or any other activities in the area, Baja Connections is a great choice.
