Overview
Isla Espiritu Santo is a UNESCO World Heritage island — and one of the greatest wildlife experiences on earth. The Hook runs shared departures for individual bookings and private boats for group bookings, always with a maximum of 10 guests and a certified bilingual marine biologist guide throughout. The sea lion colony at Los Islotes is open September through May — approximately 1,000 California sea lions that treat snorkelers like toys, swimming within inches and stealing fins on demand. A secluded beach lunch of fresh ceviche is served at Ensenada Grande or a private cove. CONANP entry bracelet included for all guests — no surprise fees at check-in. No crowds, no rushing, no bus tours. Just your group, a UNESCO island, and the Sea of Cortez.
