The three-hour adventure includes a tour of private remote islands, snorkeling and an experience to interact with marine life.
Swim with Whale Sharks: Spotter plans, boats and expert guides will navigate guests through the waters outside of La Paz to popular feeding grounds where they will swim with whale sharks measuring up to 40 feet and watch these animals feed on plankton. Guests can get up close and personal and this eight-hour trip includes roundtrip ground transportation to La Paz, an authentic Mexican breakfast, lunch and snacks prepared by Esperanza, wet suit and snorkel equipment, as well as underwater photography and videography upon request.

Esperanza guests can enjoy an intimate whale encounter experience, getting up close to these friendly gray whales. The eight-hour excursion begins with a flight on a Cessna Grand Caravan plane over the peninsula coastline with fascinating views of the whale sanctuaries. It includes a tour from a certified guide, roundtrip ground and aerial transportation, lunch at a local seafood restaurant and flight bites.
