3.Snorkeling with Sea Lions

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 7 reviews · 2 hours · from $153

From Lobo Larsen’s beach center, you’ll take a 25-minute boat ride to Punta Loma, then snorkel for up to 40 minutes near a year-round colony of about 600 sea lions. Instructors speak five languages, provide full 7mm gear, and supervise small groups of up to eight people. Wildlife approaches are never guaranteed.

“It was an amazing experience! The sea lions were super playful and swam all around us. The crew was great, they had a scuba diver making bubbles to attract the sea lions and they took amazing photos and videos of them swimming. The crew was also super patient and accommodating, our cruise was late docking and they waited for us without issue and everything went great! Definitely recommend ☺️”
