Overview

Explore the wild side of Balandra on this 7-hour small-group tour. This unique experience combines snorkeling with sea lions, paddleboarding through mangroves, and a beachside lunch, all led by expert naturalist guides.

Your day begins with a scenic skiff ride through the turquoise bays and rocky headlands of Balandra Natural Protected Area. Upon arrival at the beach, we will set up a light snack before heading off on our exploration of Balandra’s peaceful mangrove channels on our exclusive Mega Paddleboards—stable, fun, and great for beginners.

Then, we will enjoy a fresh ceviche lunch (vegan options available), followed by time to swim, unwind, and take in the serene beauty of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The grand finale? A visit to San Rafaelito Reef, where you’ll snorkel among colorful fish and playful sea lions.

Perfect for nature lovers, families, and groups of friends, this full-day tour blends fun, education, and conservation into one unforgettable adventure.
