Gereduceerde groepswalvishaaitour

I had the pleasure of snorkelling with VIP Tours around Espiritu Santo Island! We were a small group of 5, I arrived alone but was very much welcomed by the crew and other guests. Such a lovely experience with our tour guide Katrin who was able to answer all my questions about the island and marine life. I learnt a lot about La Paz, it's history and it's ecosystem. Our captain was smooth sailing and we even saw bottlenose dolphins on the way! We were taken to see the sea lions, which was awesome!! I never expect to see such large animals to be so graceful in the water. Following our first snorkel, we were shown other parts of the island and notable spots. We were then taken to a quiet beach for lunch and wow what a spread! Burritos, fresh seafood ceviche, fruit, tostadas and also vegetarian options. We had time for a second snorkel from the shore and during our ride back Katrin showed me the species of fish on an identification card on the boat. Certainly recommend these guys, they are accommodating to every need, question or query! VIP Tours felt very personal, I did see other boats at the island and they looked as though there was 20+ people! Definitely worth paying for what felt like a private tour.

This company is the very best in La Paz. I have gone the last three years in spring and Anna, the owner, has always been so helpful and always replies quickly. I was their last client before covid hit in March 2020 and everything shut down. I consider Anna a friend after coming three years in a row. But last year I went with another company one day because Anna wasn’t running the tour I wanted that particular day. And let me tell you what I learned…..you get what you pay for. They gave short wetsuits and I was cold. The boat was very packed and there was no space to keep my bag dry. Anna’s boats have dry storage underneath the seats and she only takes out so many people per trip. And she gives long wetsuits. So there is a reason she calls it VIP…… I originally picked this because she was number one on TripAdvisor. And when you’ve found the best, why settle for the rest? I do three days worth of tours in a row every February or March. I love the sea lions the most. I save my money all year to get one of the best wildlife experiences in the world. I’ve swam with sea lions in the Galapagos and let me tell you, VIP tours gave me an experience 10 times better. It’s pure magic! Thank you , Anna! See you next year.

This was a great experience. Katrin and Eddy were a good combo. Katrin made the experience from start to finish feel enjoyable and it very informative. My wife, daughter and I had a great afternoon on the water with the whale sharks. I may have to do this again next time I am close!
