Las Tintoreras - 1/2 Day(s)


Las Tintoreras are a small group of islands off the coast of Isabela that form a series of sea channels where white tipped reef sharks doze and playful sea lion pups give chase.

A magical place for observing the amazing marine wildlife of Isabela´s emerald green waters; marine iguanas and the Galápagos penguin can be seen here.  One of our local guides will lead you to the dock and on foot over a small bay onto the beach to Los Tintoreras.  At the nearby sea lion colony you can snorkel in the water where newborn sea lions learn to swim amongst shoals of colourful fish.
