Balandra Beach Tour from La Paz: Balandra & Tecolote with Lunch

5.0(2)8 hFree cancellationBy La Paz City Map

About this activity

Balandra is a shallow, turquoise bay inside a Protected Natural Area, and land access is organized in daily slots. That is why this day starts early: we pick you up at your downtown La Paz hotel at 6:30 and head straight for the first available slot, when the beach is at its quietest.

At Balandra we set up umbrellas and chairs for you; snorkel gear is on board. Swim in the calm water, walk the shoreline and photograph the mushroom-shaped rock. Then we continue to Tecolote Beach, on the Gulf of California, for beach time and a seaside lunch with water and soft drinks before returning to La Paz around 2:30 pm.

A beach day without the logistics: transport, bilingual guide and permits are handled. Unlike tours that mix city and beach, here the whole day belongs to the beaches.

Balandra access depends on capacity-limited slots set by the environmental authority and cannot be guaranteed. If we miss the slot, we visit the Balandra lookout and extend your day at Tecolote at no extra cost.
