We took the kids on this excursion and we all had a marvelous time. The sea lion was a great experience for them and kayaking by sea lions was a once in a lifetime treat. Kids were also able to snorkle and it was all in all a great day! Definitely recommend it.

The visitors center is nice. There is an 18 minute movie in english you can ask for. There are two short informative hikes that have signage in spanish and english. The road to the craters is permanently closed due to a local township wanting a fee for passage so they made a new road further north. You still have to check in at the biological center where the old road starts, 23 Km north of the visitors center. There you will pay an additional fee and be given instructions and a map. All in spanish. The new road is at Km 51 west out of Sonoyta, about 125 Km. A bit of an inconvenience but we wanted to see the craters and we had packed a lunch and had plenty to drink. The entrance is not marked but it is next to a structure being built, probably a new entrance office. From there it is pretty straight forward. High clearance vehicles are a must. The camping area is pretty spartan. It has a couple of tables with fire rings. The desert was in full bloom and was breath taking.

Cholla Bay is a nice quiet spot in Puerto Penasco! Nice beaches, restaurants and a famous JJ’s Cantina is a must stop! Check out Scott’s condos for a comfortable stay as well! Cholla was great!
