    This tour was full of amazing surprises! We saw so many incredible animals, including penguins, groups of sea turtles and sharks, and even a tiny seahorse! The guides were professional and reliable. Even if you're not a strong swimmer, there's no need to worry—they have underwater guides who will literally lead you to ensure your safety. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Highly recommended!

    Great tour! Must do in Isabela island.

    One of the best snorkeling trips we have ever done. The guide was knowledgeable and explained in detail the ecosystem of submerged volcanic tunnels. We got to white tip and black tip sharks. Swam close to turtles and eagle rays. After the snorkeling we got up close with blue footed boobie habitat. The boat captain and crew were super hospitable and took great care of the group.

    Do not miss this trip!

    Amazing Snorkeling

    Jeff_C, Jul 2024
    The tour picked our family of 5 (2 adults, 14 year old, 12 year old, 8 year old) up at our hotel. We went to get fitted for wetsuits. Then off to the dock to get on the boat. Our family went with Eduardo as our guide.The boat ride out there is amazing. Getting into the tunnels was an exciting rush to go through the waves. Our captain was so skilled! We got to see a male Blue Footed Booby doing a mating dance! The tunnels are surreal- cactus next to mangrove in lava rock tunnels! We were the first boat there and our guide said that only 6 boats can go in the am and 6 in the pm. Eduardo got some great pics and vids of sea turtles, sharks, seahorses, eagle rays, octopus and us. You can transfer those pics and vids to your phone or to an SD card. Everyone was so nice and friendly. We loved this tour! If you are on Isabela you need to do this tour.

    Great Experience

    Stephanie_B, Jul 2024
    Beautiful area and the snorkeling was great! Our guide show us several sea creatures we hadn’t seen here yet (sharks, seahorses and an octopus). She was patient and kind and very knowledgeable.

    Must-do

    Marli_M, Jun 2024
    Everything about this tour was well organized and amazing. We were fitted for wet suits and flippers so they were comfortable, our guide was phenomenal, the lunch was simple and perfect (rice, chicken, veggies), and the location - Cabo Rosa was gorgeous and we saw so many animals.

    Saw Boobies, penguins, sea horses, sea turtles and mante rays. Boat crew and guide were fantastic. We slowed down multiple times on the way back to see golden mante rays and boobies. Food was available :)

    Best snorkelling I’ve ever done!

    Diane_K, Feb 2024
    Our guide Darwin was excellent and provided a ton of information on the local wildlife. He also took the time to take photos for everyone on the tour including underwater ones. He was great at spotting different aquatic life and getting us all over to see them. He took some great videos and photos with his go pro and then shared them with everyone at the end which was really cool. Overall a great tour, highly recommend as we saw so many turtles, fish, sharks and even seahorses!

    Los Tunneles tour

    Gail_L, Feb 2024
    We loved seeing all the wildlife like the blue-footed boobies and snorkeled with rays, turtles, all kinds of fish. Saw a seahorse and shark cave. Amazing experience!

    Good tour, but risk of unable to snorkel in Los Tuneles

    Marion_B, Jan 2024
    Unfortunately, due to current conditions the captain/tour guide would not allow us to snorkel in Los Tuneles during our tour so that was disappointing and wasn't aware that could be a risk. But we went to another place and it was excellent snorkeling.

    Wonderful experience! You see almost everything you came to see, Blue footed Boobies, Sea turtles galore, white tip sharks, seahorses and all sorts of tropical fish. Our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. No complaints!

    Amazing tour guide and an excellent experience. Boat ride was beautiful and captain was skilled. Got to see so much in the water and a blue footed booby up close.

    Amazing- It's a must

    MarcAndre_N, Aug 2023
    Amazing guide and trip. Nice boat, great crew and well guided tour. Our guide made sure that we could see animals as close as possible, helping us go deeper if wanted. Was able to see reef shark really close.

    Beware of “availability”

    Kevin_S, Jul 2023
    The tour was available for booking online, but a few hours later I received a message that my reservation was cancelled because they had overbooked. This happened to at least two other people I met on the island with different tour operators, so it seems to be common practice on Isabela for tour operators to overbook and then cancel travelers’ reservations. Beware!

    Response from Host, Sep 2023

    We are sorry for the inconvenience, we hope you enjoyed galapagos.

    Everything you want to see in one place.

    Sierra_R, Jul 2023
    Our snorkeling trip was phenomenal! The drivers were able to get us to a spot most boats weren’t willing to go to on a rough sea day. We swam alongside a seal! Saw many turtles, and our guide helped point out a larger shark in our second location. Lunch and snacks were delicious! This was our favorite day in the Galapagos.

    Amazing Tour!

    Kevin_B, Feb 2023
    I’ve travelled and snorkeled in dozens of beautiful places all over the world and this is definitely the best snorkeling experience I’ve ever had. The tour guide was very information and knowledgeable of the animals, and the wildlife in the water was amazing. Large variety of exotic animals, and overall amazing experience.

    seinen Preis wert

    Julia_R, Mar 2023
    Das schnorcheln in den Tunneln, also Lavahöhlen ist was ganz besonderes. Dafür braucht man auch wirklich einen Guide, was dem Preis für mich rechtfertigt. Alleine hätte ich da nicht mehr herausgefunden. Für alle die es wegen Seepferdchen machen - ja, ich habe eines gesehen, ca. 2 Meter unter mir. Aus der Gruppe sind viele getaucht für ein Foto.
