You will then get fitted out with snorkel gear and continue to board a boat to head out into the gorgeous Sea of Cortez.
The ride to the island takes about 45 minutes and once there you'll have a leisurely look at the magnificent pink and black volcanic rock formations, the arches and caves, and all the bird life it all attracts. You'll then continue on to the permanent sea lion colony of Los Islotes, for the incredible joy of swimming and playing with the sea lion puppies. There is also great snorkeling at Los Islotes with a great array of tropical fish in the waters around the islands. Once everyone is exhausted from snorkeling it's back to the other side of Isla Espiritu Santo for a terrific picnic lunch prepared by our own chef Iker Algorri.
