Are you excited yet? Here's what you can expect on your journey with us:

Exploring the Bay

Wake up nice and early and get ready to meet your crew at 10am by the marina. Jump on our water vessel and get ready to enjoy a leisurely boat ride from La Paz through to the bay. Contrary to what most people think, Balandra Beach is just one of seven stunning beaches you will find in Balandra Bay. As we glide, you'll be amazed by the shallowness of the water - this is possible thanks to a sandbar, which you may see at various times of the day due to the tides. As well as these famous calm and clear waters, Balandra Bay is full of intricate and interesting rock formations, including the infamous "Mushroom Rock" and "Honeymoon Island."

If relaxation is your thing, why not take a dip in the crystal-clear waters? With temperatures hovering around a comfortable 80°F, it's the perfect temperature for a refreshing swim that will be sure to rejuvenate both your body and mind.

Discovering the Mangroves

Next, we'll take a break from the water and head inland to explore the bay's mangroves. This beautiful natural surrounding is made up of an intricate network of mangroves. The roots and branches create a unique ecosystem that provides a safe haven for a variety of wildlife, including birds, fish, and crabs. Keep your eyes peeled for brightly-colored crabs scurrying along the branches or colorful fish darting in and out of the roots. Lucky guests can also expect to spot a sea turtle, dolphins, or even a stingray swimming through the shallow waters.

As we continue our journey, expect to observe a diverse and indigenous range of flora and fauna of the Baja region. You may also spot different species of birds, such as herons and egrets, perched on the branches or soaring above overhead.

As you immerse yourself, take a minute to be present. Focus on your senses and embrace the tranquility of Balandra Bay. The only sounds you will hear are the gentle lapping of the water against your kayak and the occasional bird call looking for its next mate.

Snorkel with a colony of sea lions

It is really no wonder that San Rafaelito Islet is considered one of the best snorkeling sites in Balandra Bay. This small island is home to a colony of hundreds of these curious and cute creatures. Observe these marine mammals up close and personal and get to know their charming, yet cheeky personalities, often seen swimming curiously towards visitors and popping their heads out of the water to get a better look.

Their big brown eyes and cute whiskered faces only add to their charm. Snap photos of the macho sea lions as they strike a pose, sunbathing on the rocks in front of you.

Hiking to the Top

If hiking is your thing, Balandra Bay is definitely a trip you should not miss out on. Indeed, it is true that no trip to Balandra Bay would be complete without hiking to the top of one of its magnificent cliffs. From the top, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the bay and the surrounding mountains.

The hike can be a bit challenging, but our experienced guides will be there to help you every step of the way. And trust us, the view from the top is more than worth the effort.

Picnicking in Paradise

After all that activity, you're sure to have worked up an appetite. Get excited for a traditional Mexican Ceviche lunch right on the beach. Get ready for a feast of the freshest seafood while taking in the best views and enjoying great company!

While you're savoring your meal, soak in the breathtaking natural beauty of Balandra Bay. Take a moment to appreciate the tranquility and serenity of the surroundings. It's the perfect opportunity to unwind and recharge before jumping back into the fun-filled adventures that await you.
