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.

Best Snorkelling - Our guide Peter was excellent with great passion and knowledge of the wildlife and geology. By far the best snorkelling we've ever done, with our guide helping us to find every animal we were hoping to see and we even got lucky with a feeding frenzy with seals and both black and white tip sharks. Lots of sea turtles and rays. The walk on the island exceeded expectations, despite much of the path being shut for iguana breeding season. All only a short 5min boat ride from the town!

A lovely afternoon in Tintoreras - Tintoreras was the 3rd tour I booked with this agency but the first one I took chronologically. I booked it for the afternoon of the day of my arrival, and it was as I expected, very chill half day, not too long not too tiring. It was a wonderful way to set off my Isabela adventure, Sebastian from the agency was welcoming and friendly, and he gave me all the information I needed, and the guide - also Sebastian, but a different one, was charismatic and charming, he was very knowledgeable, and it showed how much he loves the place and appreciative and respectful of nature so I was very impressed and I felt in very good hands. I was extremely happy with the tour and operation, and the boat crew as well was lovely. Just a great afternoon.
