Overview

This is the only coral nursery of its kind on this coast, and you don't visit it from a distance — you plant a fragment into the incubation beds yourself, then snorkel over the structures where earlier fragments are already growing. Small group, expert guide, two and a half hours.

What's included

  • Guided snorkeling in the coral nursery and natural reef
  • Coral fragment planting activity
  • Educational talk on coral propagation
  • Full snorkeling equipment: wetsuit, mask, snorkel and fins
  • Gratuities
  • Meals
  • Souvenirs
  • Roundtrip transportation from La Paz

Itinerary

Do more than look at a reef — help build one. In two and a half hours on the Gulf of California, you'll learn how coral fragments are grown, plant one yourself in the nursery's incubation beds, and then snorkel over the beds and the adjacent natural reef with a marine guide. Small groups, full gear included, and only 20 minutes from downtown La Paz. A short, hands-on activity that fits alongside a beach day or a full-day island tour.
