Description

Discover the Tunnels on a boat tour from Isabela Island. Snorkel in the waters of Los Finados and see marine life up close, including sea turtles, white-tip reef sharks, and more.
Begin your journey toward La Unión, a small islet located in the open sea. Observe a variety of seabirds, including pelicans, Nazca boobies, and blue-footed boobies, as well as sea lions often resting on the rocky formations.

Make your first stop at the impressive lava formations known as the Tunnels. These structures were formed during ancient volcanic eruptions, when lava flowed beneath the surface. Over time, the lava tunnels collapsed, creating the distinctive lava arches that rise above the ocean.

Enjoy the spectacular scenery, where nature can be found at every turn: vegetation growing among the rocks, crystal-clear waters, and the opportunity to observe sea lions and penguins moving freely between the arches.

After visiting the Tunnels, continue to your snorkeling area at Los Finados, where visibility conditions may vary. The water can be somewhat cloudy at first; however, as you move into other areas, reach sections with clearer water and better underwater visibility.

During the snorkeling experience, swim very close to sea turtles, white-tip reef sharks, and other species that inhabit the waters of the Galápagos, offering an unforgettable opportunity to experience the extraordinary marine life of the archipelago up close.
