About This Tour
Three experiences in one unforgettable tour! 🦈🐧
The Tintoreras Tour combines a scenic panga ride, a guided nature walk, and incredible snorkeling — all in one half-day adventure on Isabela Island.
Cruise by panga to the Tintoreras islet, where you'll walk along volcanic rock formations and peer into shallow channels where white-tip reef sharks rest motionless in the crystal-clear water. Spot Galapagos penguins perched on the rocks, marine iguanas basking in the sun, and blue-footed boobies nesting nearby.
Then dive in for 45 minutes of snorkeling with sea turtles, rays, and a kaleidoscope of tropical fish in one of Isabela's most biodiverse spots.
What Will We Do on This Adventure?
Islote Tintoreras – Isabela Island Tour, Galapagos
This Isabela Island tour includes a guided walk across the Tintoreras islet, one of the most sought-after excursions in Galapagos. Its name comes from the whitetip reef sharks (tintoreras) resting between lava cracks, alongside a colony of marine iguanas and sea lions in their natural habitat.
Snorkeling in Isabela Island, Galapagos
As part of the tour, you will snorkel in a calm bay where it is common to see sea turtles, rays, sea lions, sharks, starfish and a wide variety of tropical fish — one of the best snorkeling experiences in Galapagos.
Bay Wildlife on the Return
On the way back to port, the boat ride through the bay offers sightings of Galapagos penguins, blue-footed boobies, Sally Lightfoot crabs, pelicans and other endemic species of the island.
