1 of 6

Immature California sea lions are quite social, and today we were able to watch their behaviors both above and below the water. They often rest in groups, and when awake they can be very vocal. It was fun to snorkel among them, but they are clearly more graceful and agile than we are in the water!

This morning we snorkeled with the playful and curious California sea lions at Los Islotes. We repositioned to the shallow, turquoise waters of Ensenada Grande for kayaking and snorkeling, and for walks up the arroyo.
