This short adventure blends a gentle boat ride, a guided island walk and relaxed snorkelling in a marine area known for its lively underwater activity. You’ll finish with a deeper understanding of Isabela’s landscapes, wildlife and coastal ecosystems. 🌟 Key Details Duration: 3 hours Location: Puerto Villamil, Isabela Island Group size: 1–6 people Age: 10+ 🐠 What to Expect Your trip begins with a smooth transfer to the pier before heading out by boat across the sheltered bay. The short ride gives you time to settle in and enjoy the coastal scenery as your guide points out wildlife that often appears near the surface. Sea lions, sea turtles and coastal birds are all common sights here, and the calm waters make it easy to appreciate the coastline from a new angle. A brief stop on Tintoreras Islet follows, where you’ll walk across volcanic terrain shaped by past eruptions. This area is known for marine iguanas resting along the rocks and white-tip reef sharks that gather in shallow channels. Snorkelling is the highlight of the outing, taking place in clear, protected waters ideal for all experience levels. Once in the water, you’ll explore a quiet bay where fish schools glide between rocks and the occasional sea turtle moves slowly through the shallows. Sea lions may swim nearby, and with a bit of luck, a penguin might pass through as well. Your guide will be beside you in the water, making sure everyone is comfortable and pointing out creatures that are easy to miss. After the snorkel, you’ll dry off on the boat and enjoy the gentle ride back to Puerto Villamil. 📍 Location Tintoreras Bay sits just a short distance from Puerto Villamil on Isabela Island, making it one of the most accessible wildlife areas in the region.
