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.

Meeting point

We'll meet at the queue to enter Balandra at 7:40 am. Since only a certain amount of people are allowed in at 8 am, we need to get on line in time in order to be allowed in. Your guides will be there in a Honda Pilot with kayaks tied on top.

What to expect

We'll do the kayaking and snorkeling in Balandra, and then hike from Balandra into Tecolote. We'll stop at beautiful beaches and snorkel in a rocky reef. The snorkeling and kayaking part of the day takes around 2 hours.The hike is 5 km on rocky and sandy terrain, with some sections where our shoes will get wet if the tide is high. On average it takes 2.5 hours. We'll walk through a desert patch, rocky hills, cliffs by the ocean, sandy beaches and intertidal zones. Get ready for spectacular views! We'll finish the hike in Tecolote beach and we'll have lunch, and rest until 3 pm. We use tandems sit on top kayaks, and we bring life jackets with us. The kayaks are recommended to up to 90 kilos per person. We'll close the day with a delicious lunch at the beach of local and fresh ceviche. Ask for our vegan options! The day requires an intermediate fitness level, and we recommend booking on non-windy days.

Please know you will need a car or to hire a taxi to complete this adventure! Let us know if you'd like us to help coordinate pick up with a trusted taxi. Transportation from downtown La Paz costs 1200 pesos per car.
