January 2025 snorkeling excursion - Top notch snorkeling tour. Very well organized from the hotel pickup to drop off. Hiking around the tunnels was amazing. Our guide was well informed and readily shared his knowledge. Snorkeling was fantastic. Turtles, rays, sharks, seahorses and so many fish.

Amazing Snorkeling - 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.

Good snorkeling with turtles and sharks - Two really good experiences: 1. The special lava landscape at the Tunelos and its animals and 2. The snorkeling in a similar but more open nearby place place with small lava islands but without the bridges. The best experiences was getting close to a couple is nesting blue footed boobies at the Tunelos and getting close to a group of big sea turtles and several big white tipped sharks. The not so great was that we were 12 personer plus the crew on the speed boat and it was a little crammed. Also, the lunch was just a single little sandwich bun with either cheese or ham and cheese, plus snacks.
