San Rafaelito Reef & Balandra
Boat Tour
Price per passenger: $1,700 MXN / $95 USD
Duration: 4.5 hours

In 2016, Balandra was named “the best beach in Mexico” by USA Today magazine. Balandra is actually a large bay composed of seven sandy white beaches and turquoise waters, surrounded by beautiful rust-colored hills. The contrast between the desert and the sea is stunning! Enjoy lunch on one of Balandra’s secluded beaches, then paddleboard along the shallow coastline. Not far from Balandra is San Rafaelito Reef, where we will stop in for some snorkeling and encounter friendly sea lions.

Tips are at your discretion, but greatly appreciated
We recommend the use of biodegradable sunscreen to help with the preservation of coral reefs. You can purchase biodegradable lotion at our office if needed.
We recommend bringing a towel, a hat and sunglasses. We recommend you bring a jacket or sweater during winter months as well. Water-shoes are not necessary, but can come in handy.
* Certain swimming restrictions may apply during the summer months (June, July and August) due to the sea lion’s breeding season. The snorkeling activity may take place at a different site.
