- Las Tintoreras - This is the Tintoreras Islet. Its name is due to the fact that here there is a volcanic lava crack that has formed a kind of channels that have become the favorite place of blue sharks (endemic species of the Galapagos Islands).
In this crevice you can see hundreds of sharks in the water as well as iguanas and other species of the island.

Plans didn't go perfectly because of the rough water, but their response was great - I had booked this tour and the Sierra Negra tour through this agency for the day after. They told me they couldn't do this tour for this day because the water was rough. They offered me to switch the days of the tour. Ultimately for the Tintoreras tour, I decided to switch it for Los Tuneles instead and they made the process super simple! All I had to do was pay the difference! As for Los Tuneles, it was a great tour! Lots of wildlife there and the snorkeling was great too, got to see a cave filled with Punta Blanca sharks!

Stay away - cancelled us the morning of the tour after we took a two hour ferry to get there - We booked this tour on December 27th. Received an immediate confirmation and paid through Pay Pal - also received immediate confirmation of payment. The ferry from Santa Cruz to Isabella is 2 hours so we got up for the 7 am ferry so we could make our 1 PM tour. We sent an email to the tour operator to see where to meet up. Crickets. Imagine my surprise to get a message on what's app that they didn't have room for us but could accommodate us on January 2nd. Seriously? Stay away from BM tours and Viator. They cost us a full day in Galapagos.
