If you are coming in on a cruise ship they will pick you up at port but there’s an extra $15 port fee that you pay when you’re picked up. Also if you don’t plan to have phone service make sure to communicate that ahead of time as well as that you will be waiting outside the cruise terminal building.
Juan was absolutely amazing! He was knowledgeable and friendly but not overly talkative. We requested to spend as much time at Balandra as possible and he accommodated. We made a quick stop at Playa Tesoro (since we prefer they calm secluded water and beaches). Then we were able to spend 4+ hours wading in Balandra Bay and hiking the trails.
Juan set up a table, chairs, and lunch for us in a shades cave and gave us recommendations on where to go to avoid the crowd. Although with a max of 400 people allowed in it was crowded and it you don’t mind a little walk you can have all the space you want.
If you go to La Paz book this tour and if you want to research the beaches listed they will let you customize your stops!
