Balandra beach is accesible for everyone, but it is much more than the main beach that most visitors get to know. On this adventure, we'll take you into the depths and heights of Balandra, where you'll be able to learn about the local history, and the animals of the region. Our guides are all bilingual and marine biologists, with years of experience guiding tours.

First, I appreciated all of the information that was texted to me so that I would be prepared. Second, I didn’t know what to expect but the kayaking was breathtaking even with the wind. The beach was so beautiful. I enjoyed the hike that had great views. Last, the guides were so fun and wonderful. I loved the ceviche that was served. I’d highly recommend this tour!

Yesterday we took one of my most favorite tours to date! Dani and Alex took us on the most memorable trip exploring the beauty of the Balandra beaches. We hiked, kayaked, snorkeled and swam through the day and ended the trip at a stunning beach. Lunch was the most delicious fish and vegie cerviche that I’ve ever tasted. I didn’t realize that Balandra was filled such diverse beauty from the mangroves in our kayak to the gorgeous caves and rocky vistas seen during our hikes. Dani and Alex were expert in the history and biology of the area and also made it so much fun! We laughed and learned and needless to say worked hard enough to earn our lunch! Can’t wait to take another trip with these guys!

Fantastic. The morning mangrove kayak, the snorkeling, and the hike were so fun and educational. The kayak and snorkel was a couple of hours, and the beachside hike took a couple more. Alejandro and Cheko were fun, engaging, and patient. Really loved this unique experience. Do it if you can.

We drove from San Jose del Cabo early in the morning and met our guides at the park. After a few brief instructions we peacefully kayaked through the Mangroves. After leaving the Mangroves we paddled to a small rock and reef for snorkeling. The water was shallow and a good location for taking underwater pictures from the surface. Even saw a small squid. Next we hiked Along the beach. Our guide Sergio was a marine biologist and shared great information. We even spotted a Blue Whale and Sergio explained it is pretty rare for this time of year. The hike then took us up and over a rocky hill. It was arid and warm with great views. Consider taking a quick swim in the ocean before starting the hike. The day concluded with 2 types of fresh ceviche.

Check and Alex were delightful tour guides! I had so much fun Kayaking and snorkeling! So much it inspired me to kayak again! The hoke was not as hard as I thought, but if you are not used to walking, get a massage afterwards lol

Glorious sights! And delicious 😋 food afterwards!

What a fabulous tour of Balandra! We paddled through a peaceful mangrove, swam with colorful fishes and went on a stroll along the secluded beaches. During the walk, our guide Philippe pointed out many plants and marine animals we normally would not have noticed. He patiently explained everything in both Spanish and English and took great photos for all of us. We were with our small group most of the time and almost forgot we were in one of the most popular beaches in Mexico! The tour is also very organized and the staff and guides keep us informed every step of the way. Highly recommend this tour!!!

Even though it is a long walk, it feels very calm and comfortable and kayaking surprised me with the mangroves and birds. The food is very delicious too. The very friendly guides Alex and Fede (Colombian) and experts in marine biology.

Recommendations:
Have a very good breakfast because the food is until the end on the beach.

Bring something to cover yourself from the wind or cold in the morning while you wait for access to the beach. This is because if they take a taxi or Uber, which is what we did and recommend, there is a lot of wind while they wait for the beach.
