Big day trip from San Jose del Cabo to Balandra, La Paz, and Todos Santos, with lunch, Malecón views, and iconic Hotel California.

“So we were picked up at 4:20 AM in a van, which is equivalent to a van you would use to transport equipment in and was absolutely awful to sit in for hours at a time. Our driver was actually our guide and even though he was absolutely sweet spoke little to no English. This is actually truly a Spanish speaking event. And it is not a Tour because he does not explain anything about anywhere we go. It was literally just a driver. Otherwise, we had a nice time exploring Belanger Beach but it was too long for 2 1/2 hours. So bring your beach stuff. Then we drove…”

Kayak Balandra, snorkel a rocky reef, then hike to Tecolote Beach for ceviche. Small groups, gear included, real sea views.

“Nice tour- but be prepared to bring cash, sunscreen, hats, water and eat before you come. We kayaked through the ocean, kayaked through the marshes,and then snorkeled. We also did a small hike up the hill for the views. Then came time for the actual hike, and we opted to get a ride to the beach instead which was the final meet up spot. I am glad i did that because everyone was tired, exhausted, and one of the ladies fell ill because of how strenuous the hike was. It took the group almost two hours to meet us at the beach, while we enjoyed the drinks and the ocean,…”

“They cancelled on me the day before the experience. They called and said that they needed 4 people in order to go on the trip, and they only had 2, so they just cancelled on us without giving us any other options for the same day we booked. They offered experiences on Monday or Tuesday, but Saturday was our last day in La Paz. I am still waiting for the refund.”

“This is a bucket list experience to swim alongside these gentle giants. Sun Rider tours guide Armando and Captain Martin put in tremendous skill and passionate understanding of these creatures. Each person on our boat was given a unique moment or two with our whale. Pay attention to the clearly stated instructions on being patient and attentive in order to have your bucket list photo- or skip the camera expectation and enjoy the moment. This was a physical four hour day on the water for just a few precious moments. Keep your expectations in check and it’ll blow your mind to be so close.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 110 reviews · from $154

Balandra Beach, La Paz, and Todos Santos in one long day from Cabo, with lunch, scenic Malecón stops, and easy hotel pickup.

“Although everywhere we went was beautiful, and we expected shared transportation - we were crammed in a van/shuttle with too many people. Someone had to sit on someone's lap for us all to fit and two people had to share a front seat. In addition, we were the only ones who spoke English and it seemed to be an inconvenience to translate for us. Also - Todos Santos on a Sunday evening is a waste of time - nearly everything is closed.”

From Cabo, a full day in La Paz and Todos Santos with Balandra and El Coromuel beaches, included lunch, and bilingual guiding.

“First, it was a long day. A break from the pool monotony of resort. Our host Kafaya (Daniel) had amazing energy the entire trip. I was the only non Spanish speaker but he always made me feel included. Bring your own towels (etc) for Balandra Beach. Highly recommend a lemonade, guacamole, chips at second beach. Go for a swim, take some amazing photos. Cool shops in La Paz/Todos Santas. Ask Kafaya anything he is very knowledgable. I highly recommend to get off resort & experience a taste of Baja Sur life & with luck Kafaya will be your guide.”

Mexico Travel Adventure is an excellent operation -- very professional, safety focused, and clearly cared about the animals and about being good stewards of the environment. Our guide -- Andrea-- was superb. She was super knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. We liked it so much we did another tour with them a few days later.”
