Fun Baja

Fun Baja was a great host! Firstly, Fernanda is super nice, and communicated with us super well and timely. Really loved her. Then everyone was super communicative, we were the only 2 non-spanish speakers in the boat, so they made sure to always go through things in English for us too (which seems basic but I've had boat tours where that didn't happen). Also the lunch in the little sandy beach was great and very well prepared. Then Martin was a great snorkeling guide as well, telling us about the sea lions, and guiding us around. And lastly, the highlight: we got to see 🐠🦭🐢 🐬 !!

What a wonderful group of human beings at Fun Baja! They all truly went above and beyond to make sure our day was phenomenal while also keeping everyone safe. Gael is a terrific dive master, Martin made sure my 6 year old felt super safe during our sea lion snorkel and Carlos was a perfect driver. Everyone in the office was also delightful. We cant wait to go back!

OMG! Dove the Fang Ming shipwreck with divemaster, Sandy. She was wonderful, the shipwreck was awesome and the day, as provided by Fun Baja, was epic. I'd dive with these guys in a heartbeat.

What an amazing experience diving with Fun Baja. Longtime friend and fishing outfitter, Jonathan Roldan w/Tailhunter set us up with Fun Baja for this trip. This was our 14 and 16 year old sons first dives after getting certified. Our divemaster - Martin was amazing., focusing his attention to give my boys an out of this world experience for their first dives. From Sea Lions, to the upclose and personal turtles, being surrounded by bait fish, to diving both local shipwrecks. We always felt that our safety was Martin first concern, with having fun being a close second. We are already asking when we can come to La Paz diving again. If/when we do, we will use Fun Baja and hope Martin is there too!

We had a fabulous day with Martin and a private snorkeling tour. Caroline & I really enjoyed the personalized tour and the local knowledge that Martin had. Thank you!!

Impeccable service, so much value for your money: - They pick you up and drop you off for free - They take you on a boat tour that lasts hours - They let you swim next to sea lions - They take you to a secluded beach with no one else and give you homemade ceviche - They are super nice The only improvement point I might have is that the experience would be elevated by having binoculars available on the boat.

We had such a fun excursion. We went with our two daughters (ages 11 and 13) as well as my father-in-law, the excursion is great for people of all ages. Going in October made it even better because the water was warm and the younger sea lions were being super playful. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, showing us a lot of hidden gems of the area. We fully recommend this excursion with Fun Baja.

I strongly recommend Fun Baja for anyone looking to experience Espiritu Santo. We were picked up from our hotel effortlessly and transported to the pier where we were welcomed warmly by staff who were so lovely and helped us find some morning coffee for the boat ride. Our Guide and Captian were knowledgable, professional and made the experience very enriching. We had a wonderful time with the sea lions and enjoyed a delicious ceviche lunch on a private beach along Espiritu Santo where puffer fish and guinefowl were swimming casually along the clear shores. Just perfect. Sign up!

We had an excellent day of scuba with fun baja. Fernanda and Ruby were very helpful in scheduling and organizing our activities. And the boat staff (Captain Carlos and dive master Martin) were wonderful. We saw the sea lions out at La lobera, the salvatierra wreck, and 2 lovely reefs. We had small groups going out, with the largest group being 5 divers. It was nice diving with small groups.

We really enjoyed the snorkeling. We were able to see Sea Lions and all types of fish and coral under the water. The tour guide lady who was in our group was from Cuba and was so awesome. She was very informative, patient, and calm. I really loved the whole experience we had. All the ladies that were on our boat were super friendly nice and helpful. The experience was 100/10

Fun Baja was an amazing dive shop to work with. Selene was responsive via phone and email for any questions I had about booking. The dive shop is in a little corner of the Hyatt hotel. I do wish the hotel had some knowledge of the dive shop schedule because when I asked the front desk about the dive shop they seemed to not know much. We booked 2 days of 3 tank dives. Our guide was Elena and she was absolutely amazing. The first day me and my wife were lucky enough to be the only divers. Elena was super helpful by giving my wife a little refresher and some tips as she is a new diver. The second day we were joined by another couple for a total of 5 divers including the dive master (Elena). We did 2 dives at Los Islotes with the famous sea lions and they were an absolute blast to play with. The last dive was a wreck. This was our first wreck dive and Elena made it super easy for us. Both dives we were provided with water, soda, snacks, and delicious lunch. The boat ride to the dive sites are pretty long (over an hour). We had good conditions but would recommend motion sickness meds. We brought our own gear and Fun Baja cleaned and stored our gear and had it all ready for us the next day. Even they last day, they had our gear cleaned and dry for check out. We highly recommend Fun Baja and will definitely be using them again.

We did one day of scuba diving to Los Isolotes, Isla Partida and Isla Espiritu Santo. One of the best scuba tour agencies that I have been with so far! Our dive master Daniel was very knowledgeable about the local sea life and also about the geology of the archipel. The equipment was in superb condition. We also had a very yummy lunch (fish tacos) on one of the pristine beaches of Isla Partida. Highly recommended!

Exceptional! Great customer service via Whatsapp, the gear was in perfect shape, the skipper and guides were friendly, knowledgeable and safety conscious. Highly recommend the Island Tour where you snorkel with sea lions. Over 600 sea lions on the island, and many were very playful and would swim and spin with us. Also went to another area to snorkel a large coral reef, looked for Blue Footed Boobies (found 1) and stoped at Balandrs. Drinks, snacks and yummy lunch provided. Just do it!

I can't believe there aren't more reviews for this place! My friends and I scheduled a 3-Dive day adventure with them. They were extremely helpful during the booking experience and gave us their honest opinion of the local dive spots based on local dive conditions. When the day finally came, they picked us up from our Airbnb, free of charge, and drove us to the dive shop which is located on the north side of town. Their facilities were very clean and well organized, and their equipment was clean and well maintained. All their wetsuits were clearly new, so that was a nice bonus! The dive boat was very nice and the crew was very friendly. Daniel, our scuba guide, went above and beyond his duties of a scuba guide and shared his knowledge of the natural history of the area. We learned about conservation history, geologic structures, and the biology of many species. He truly has a passion for biology and conservation, which made thus scuba experience so much more meaningful. For lunch we went to a very remote beach where they served us an excellent lunch, freshly grilled. All in all, this was the best single-day scuba excursion I've ever been on. Thanks Daniel and crew!

Do not dive with Fun Baja if you are not Japanese 1. Fun Baja is quick to collect money, and slow to provide service. They collect 100% payment upon arrival at the shop first day, and there is no refund. After they collect our payment and we were ready to get on the boat. We were told that even that we paid for 2 tank diving that day, we are stuck with the group and will not return until the group is done with the 3rd dive, our options are do the 3rd dive with the group, or be stranded on an island and wait for the group to finish 3rd dive. None of this was communicated when we booked with them or before we made the payment. If they would have told us prior to our trip in the emails, we would have booked with somebody else. And we had 3 days of diving with them booked and paid in full with no refund... 2. Inexperienced captain and poor judgement of conditions. Even though we did not have a good experience with the office staff. We were still quite happy to head out and make the most out of it. Please note La Paz diving is long 1-2 hour boat ride on a small boat for most of the popular sites. We head to La Reina when the condition was apparently rough, only to head back after we arrived at the site since the current was too strong and too dangerous to dive. Round trip back took us 4 hours in rough conditions, soaking wet, and the captain even had us wearing life vest during the ride back. We learned that other shops made the call the night before to stay at the sheltered and closer sites. The next day was actually good condition when the shop originally scheduled to take us to El Bajo, we were told that morning it was too windy and rough to get out, when I later on learned other boats made it to El Bajo that day. Misreading the conditions prevented us from going to the premier sites in La Paz, and considered how little time we had in the La Paz, it made a big difference in terms of our diving experience. We ended up diving Los isolates for 2 days and miss one morning of diving due the long haul to El Reina and back and not being able to dive there. 3. The office staff speak very little or no English, which made it very difficult to communicate with them. When we came back from a rough day of boat ride, everyone was telling the office staff we will not endure the same thing tomorrow, so we asked where are we diving tomorrow. Charlie one of the instructor at the shop yelled at us saying " you do not get to decide where to dive!" That was really uncalled for. Of all the places I have been, all the shops have been quite accommodating in terms of the sites where the divers want to go. As a long time diver and we have some boaters in our group, we all know how to read sea conditions, and it's available the night before if not earlier. We all agreed that was poor judgement that day taking us all the way out in such conditions. The shop didn't want to recognize their mistake, instead turning hostile towards ppl who complained. They quickly shut us down and got us out of the shop. 4. Strong favoritism over Japanese divers. If you are not Japanese diver, do not book with Fun Baja. They take care of the Japanese divers first, and don't care much about the English speaking divers. We have done decent amount of dive travel and do notice there are Japanese divers only dive shops and such, and do not have a problem with that at all. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't have mind if Fun Baja is Japanese divers only, and I would have looked elsewhere. On the first day, they moved the English speaking divers to the front of the boat telling us they need to "balance the boat" , leaving the shaded seating areas to Japanese divers. On the 3rd day of diving when the shop originally scheduled to El Bajo was changed to Los isolates without discussing with the English speaking divers. If you spoke to the Japanese divers, you would know sea lions are the main reason they came to La Paz, the shop caters towards the Japanese divers and what they want to see, hence deciding going to the site where the sea lions are. 5. Small boat cramped with people and dive gear. One of the reason we booked with Fun Baja is because they have bigger boats, but the bigger boats are only used for big groups with 20-30 divers. If you go during off season like us did, it's the same small boat like the pangas other shops used just slightly nicer. The boat is cramped with people (9 passengers on a 6 seats boat), dive gear got tossed around because there is simply no space for it. There are no under the seat storage, no place to sit and gear up, no box or mesh bag to keep your gear in one place. It really did bother me seeing my reg getting tossed around on the deck and accidentally stepped on, I decided to take it back to hotel every day after diving. If you are a photographer, you are definitely out of luck, no camera rinse tank, no place to safely store your camera.

Good professional dive operation with well maintained boats and equipment. Certainly not the cheapest but you get for what you pay. We dine several dives with them and like it so far. More to come ...

Great operation. Consistently great. I dive with them for a week. Daniel was an exceptional DM!

We had confirmed reservations via email with "Aldo" for a whale shark tour in La Paz BCS, but instead of picking us up at the scheduled time they sent someone to our room 30 minutes prior to say our trip was "postponed". It was actually cancelled, and I could not contact them again. They did not reply to the email they had been replying to to confirm our reservation, and when I called I could not speak to "Aldo." What they probably did is overbook and then just cancelled us because it was a PERFECT day for a whale shark tour. Very disappointed in FunBaja at CostaBaja resort, and the staff who would personally confirm this reservation and make no attempt to honor the reservation.

I've been diving several times and whale shark snorkeling with Fun Baja. Carlos, Chebalo and Lorenzo are wonderful guides. Great group of people who do everything to make the trip memorable. And the lunch after diving at Ensenada Grande is an experience, so amazing.
