Snorkelling with Sea Lions in Los Islotes, Baja California Sur, Mexico

After less than 2 hours driving north from Cabo San Lucas, you’ll reach La Paz (leaving the pure pleasure tourists to their sunbeds). ‘Lifetime memories are made here’ should be La Paz bay’s motto. A one hour boat trip will take you to Los Islotes, a small island, which is probably the best place on the planet to dive or snorkel with sea lions. The pups are particularly playful, bringing you starfish, nibbling your fins and looking at their reflections in your masks. A nearby wreck offers a fabulous scuba site or, if you’re overwhelmed by the sea lion frenzy, you can relax with a SUP board in the crystal clear waters of the neighbouring beaches.
