don't get me wrong - our whale watching experience was priceless. Seeing and petting the whale calves in Magdalena Bay was a once in a lifetime experience. Jesus was exceptionally professional and conscientious of our bi-lingual group. We also took the Southern tip tour with Jesus which included Todos Santos (Hotel California!) and a tequilla tasting, a glass bottom boat... More

Rather than driving ourselves, my husband and I opted to go with Fun Baja, a touring company out of La Paz, to see the whales in Magdalena Bay. I had used them to see the whale sharks in October and had an amazing experience. Once again, they were organized, professional, and warm. Our guide promptly picked us up at our... More

This dive op is top notch. They have great boats, great crew, fabulous hot lunch at their beach campsite. The sea lions and whale sharks were in great abundance. The crew is safety conscious and the company owner greeted us each day. Customer service was beyond parallel. They will even pick you up and drop you off at airport as... More

We went both whale shark swimming and visited the sea lion colony on the same day trip. The crew were amazing and after swimming with a whale shark they took us out to the sea lion colony and we swam with countless sea lion pups. After that we went to a protected beach where they prepared a delicious lunch for... More

My husband and I recently went to La Paz and dove with Fun Baja. The water temp was about 69 degrees (cold!), but, given the opportunity, we would do it again in a second! Fun Baja outfitted us with thick wetsuits and hoods. We were the only ones diving at the sea lion colony, so all the pups' attention was... More

I make it a point to dive with fun baja whenever I get to La Paz. Lorenzo Beltran is easily the most experienced and professional dive master that has escorted me on any of my dives. He and his fellow coworkers strive to ensure that the guest is well cared for and sees all there is to see in the... More

My husband and I just return from La Paz where we spent most of our vacation with the amazing people of Fun Baja. This dive outfit is outstanding. They are extremely well organized (thanks Naho!), knowledgeable and professional. The DM's are thorough in their dive and safety briefings, and maintain close attention to their divers in the water. Thanks to... More

I wanted to swim with the whale sharks in La Paz and emailed several companies. Enrique with Fun Baja responded quickly and answered all of my questions honestly (some companies tell you what they think you want to hear or don't return emails at all). His company has been in business for over 12 years and his professionalism shows. I... More

We were in La Paz for 5 days in October--went there for the whale shark season and to do some some diving.. They have fast well maintained dive boats and very competent dive masters---thank you Chabelo, Carlos and Jessica. Our diving was complicated by the discovery of a dead diver who had been left at El Bajo by Cantamar divers.... More

I had some hesitation to try this week on a boat with a group since I don't really like either boats nor group travel. Happy to say I was proved wrong on both. The SeaBird is comfortable,food was varied and luscious,staff was top notch and cordial. Lindblad has this sort of travel down to a science. Even guests who seemed... More
