Spent my afternoon swimming with sharks! Best day ever! - SOOOO MUCH FUN! We got real lucky with the weather. Saw the last penguin on Tintoreras and a family of blue foot boobies! The walk was magically beautiful. Sea lions & iguanas there. And then snorkeling in the bay was INCREDIBLE. Our guide was awesome and took whoever wanted to go to a part of the bay where there were sharks sleeping, saw multiple sharks swimming and we saw a Manta Ray. Lots of beautiful fishes. Was a dope experience. 10/10 would recommend this company.

Varied afternoon with many animal encounters. - The tour was very well organized and the guide knew a lot to tell. We have seen penguins and blue-footed boobies, sea turtles, rays and sharks. Approx. 3 h were just right for the program.

This tour was the perfect... - This tour was the perfect way to experience the incredible wildlife of Isabela Island in just a couple of hours! We started with a relaxed boat ride and saw sea lions, penguins, blue-footed boobies, and pelicans. Then we took a short walk to Las Tintoreras to see white-tipped reef sharks. The team provided water, a snack, and all snorkeling gear including wetsuits (requested ahead of time). The guided snorkeling was excellent we saw sea turtles, stingrays, and many fish. The experience was smooth, safe, and well-paced. Highly recommend for a short but unforgettable wildlife tour!

Excellent short tour - We really enjoyed this short tour lead by our very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide, Sandra. The tour featured a nice balance of viewing wildlife from the boat, followed by a very interesting walk around a small island, and concluding with some enjoyable snorkelling. The guide and boat crew were all very pleasant and helpful.

Boat and swim tour around Zpuerto Villamil Isabela - Admin for the whole trip was great. WhatsApp messages explaining when the pickup was etc. just 200 percent. The trip itself was very well run. The local guide was friendly, very informative and made the trip. We saw many of the local inhabitants, and then the swim was very well run with the guide taking us through a few tunnels gauges where we were swimming with the sharks and sea lions. What an experience. The walk over the island was also very inland the guide again was very informative. After the swim where they provided flippers they also provided a towel and a biscuit. Overall a very well run and organised trip. Well recommended.

Marvellous! - For a half day trip, this tour packed in so much. The slow boat ride delivered sightings of penguins, sea lions, rays and turtles within minutes. The short walk over the lava fields gave us views of the inlet where the turtles and white-tipped sharks come to bask. There were also brown iguanas nesting. The snorkelling got us in close contact with seals, turtles, penguins and sharks. Our guide was very informative and constantly spotting things of interest. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Amazing but short - The company picked us up from the pier and dropped our bags at our accommodation whilst we waited for the others ro arrive on the bus at the pier, which was great. Julio was also amazing and we saw a number of different fish and a few sharks (no penguins though due to the season) I've removed a star as the tour is advertised as ending at 14.30 and unfortunately we'd been dropped back at the accommodation by 12.30

Only 2 instead of the... - Only 2 instead of the described 3 hours without any explanation. Only some hundred meters walking on Las Tintoreros instead of the 1.4 km circuit. That is almost 70 USD for a 5 minute boat ride to the island and then about an hour of unimpressive group snorkeling very close to the harbor. With 16 people on the boat (and two other groups going at almost the same time) it is more than 1000 USD for two hours... what a moon price...
