Dive into One of La Paz’s Most Iconic Wildlife Experiences
At La Paz Divers, we invite you to experience one of Mexico’s most unforgettable marine adventures—snorkeling with La Paz sea lions. Just a short boat ride from the city, the islands of Espíritu Santo and Los Islotes are home to a lively colony of California sea lions. Here, you can swim alongside these playful and inquisitive creatures in the clear, turquoise waters of the Sea of Cortez.
Why Snorkel with Sea Lions in La Paz?
The sea lions in La Paz are notorious for their friendly and playful nature. Unlike most wild animals, sea lions in this protected area often engage with snorkelers, zipping through the water, blowing bubbles, and showing off their graceful underwater agility. It’s a rare opportunity to witness wildlife in its natural habitat—up close and personal, and always on their terms.
