What To Expect
Espiritu Santo Island, off the coast of La Paz in the Gulf of California, is part of the national marine park and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Espiritu Santo Island is abundant in wildlife and a popular destination for travelers looking to experience one of Mexico’s best kept secret.
Espiritu Santo Island is home to a colony of over 300 friendly sea lions. Join us on our scenic one hour and a half boat tour so you can catch a glimpse of the frigate bird colony at San Gabriel bay and view the beautiful rock formations the Island has to offer.

Yes, we allow pregnant women to go on snorkeling. However, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before doing so to assess your individual health and pregnancy stage.
Jan 2022Yes, this is possible, as long as you are comfortable going into the water. All Cool Destinations snorkeling tours adhere to strict safety regulations and have been designed to be enjoyed by all.
Your safety is our #1 priority, which is why:
- You will be wearing a flotation device at all times.
- On many tours, there is a stairway from the boat into the water so you won’t have to “jump” in!
- There are trained staff in the water and watching from the boat at all times.
For these reasons, we believe that even non-swimmers can have a wonderful time on our snorkeling trips, however, the final judgment call is yours to make. Please note we do not give refunds if you decide not to snorkel on the trip.
Oct 2021The snorkel gear we use on Cool Destinations tours is high quality and for your protection, the equipment is sanitized after each use.
