Testimonials

Ilse Garcia

I had the opportunity to take part in an apnea retreat with Proyecto Cetáceo, and it was an incredible experience. Ceci, Lula, and Donna are outstanding instructors—they convey safety, deep trust, and a profound love for the ocean and its wildlife. The way they support you throughout each practice makes the whole process enjoyable and leaves you feeling truly well cared for.

Lula’s yoga classes were especially relaxing and beautiful.

I highly recommend this experience—you leave feeling renewed and with a special connection to the ocean.
