Dive with Sea Lions in Baja California Sur
Scuba diving with sea lions is possible across the south of the peninsula at most tourist hotspots: from Cabo San Lucas, to Cabo Pulmo National Park and in La Paz. The sea lions of La Paz are more playful and are home to more females and pups.
There are 2 large sea lion colonies in La Paz: the largest (Los Islotes) and the secondary colony of San Rafaelito. We visit the latter during this combination tour and it’s usual to see an abundance of these playful animals here
Aside from the sea lions, San Rafaelito has soft corals and tropical fish making a shallow dive an enjoyable addition to the regular whale shark tour.
La Paz to Cabo San Lucas
The state capital of La Paz is an easy 2 hour drive from Cabo San Lucas. Highway 19 takes you through the arable farm and fishing village of Pescadero and then bypassing Todos Santos; a town with rich culture in architecture, arts and mining.
Following Todos Santos we stop for homemade burritos and coffee at a charming roadside cafe, just after the sun has risen. This has accidentally become one of the tour highlights in actual fact! Unfortunately, we cannot stay long. We always try and arrive at the La Paz seafront or ‘Melacon’ by 8.30am to guarantee a good place in the whaleshark queue which can sometimes be longer in the busier holiday seasons. But don’t let this put you off!
Actually, combining your tour with a sea lion dive means we can visit the colony until our place is available to see the whale sharks. You can also combine the whale shark tour with a Sea lion snorkeling tour. La Paz is also famous for his shipwreck, join our La Paz Wreck Diving Tour to explore two shipwrecks in one day.
Our boat is located at La Paz marina and here they have clean, modern facilities if you need a last minute bathroom break or to change into swimwear/dry clothes.
