Glide alongside sea lions, rays, and reef sharks with a licensed naturalist guide who reads the water like a book.
What to expect
You board a rigid inflatable skiff and motor to a sheltered cove where your guide identifies marine life before you slip into the water. Playful sea lions often approach swimmers directly, and your guide points out camouflaged rays and reef fish along the volcanic shelf. Between snorkels, the skiff cruises the shoreline for close looks at nesting seabirds.
Good to know
Wetsuits and snorkel gear are provided; book two weeks out as groups are capped, and plan a 4-hour window to return comfortably before boarding.
