La Paz: Balandra Beach Private Boat Tour — Small Group
Overview
Balandra Beach has been called the most beautiful beach in Mexico — and arriving by private boat, anchoring in the turquoise shallows, and swimming to shore makes that claim feel accurate. Every Balandra booking is a private boat exclusively for your group — no strangers, no shared schedule, up to 10 guests. Includes a stop at San Rafaelito sea lion colony (September through May) where sea lions approach snorkelers within arm's reach. June through August a spectacular alternative snorkel site is substituted during the seasonal CONANP closure. Balandra entry bracelet included for all guests — no cash needed, no advance purchase required. Snorkel equipment and fresh ceviche on the beach included. Wetsuits available to rent. Year-round.
What's Included

- Use of Snorkelling equipment
