MUST DO! Great guides, animal sightings, and landscapes!

MUST DO! We made a special trip to Isabella Island just for this tour and it was totally worth it! We saw so many creatures (penguins, seahorses, massive sea turtles, rays) that we hadn't seen other places. The tunnels were remarkable and other-worldly. The guides were so knowledgable and taught us so much about the history of the island and its animals. One of our favorite things we did on our honeymoon.

Snorkeling Fun: The guarantees and The Maybes

The guarantees: I would say if you want to swim with sea turtles, various fish, and see some baby sharks, this tour can almost guarantee it. There were so many turtles to see and our tour guide knew where some baby/small sharks hide out. Also, you get to chill on the boat and eat a lunch (that was actually good) while watching turtles and other animals (in our case penguins) swimming around. The maybes: we did see blue footed boobies but only on top of a isolated rock formation on the ride to snorkeling. We were not able to walk the tunnels due to the tide being high (something which we didn’t know until the end). So if you want to be super smart check out the tides to make sure if that is important to you. Because of that, we snorkeled the whole time which was still cool and our guide worked hard to find one sea horse to see. Overall: the experience was enjoyable and easy. Picked up and brought back to our stay, provided everything you need to snorkel, guided us to see so much in the water, and lunch was perfect ending.

Great spot for sea turtles.

The tour to Los Tuneles is definitely worth it in any weather. I have never seen so many sea turtles in one place before. Unfortunately, we could not go ashore due to high tide and rough seas. Due to the mangroves, visibility underwater is not very good, but small sharks, a penguin, and many turtles were visible.

Turtles galore

Fantastic experience with Glenda, she was extremely knowledgeable and so helpful to all on the trip. Even giving up her fins to a guest. She found a seahorse, numerous turtles and sharks for all of us to see. Highly recommend this tour.

Amazing experience.

It really was an unforgettable experience, from start to finish we were treated very well, the guides were very friendly, the food was good, we could enjoy a spectacular view of the turtles, penguins, boobies, and many more, we enjoyed a sleep snorkeling where we saw even sharks. It is an amazing place and makes it so special for the friendliness of the whole team! 100% recommended!

Fun Tour

Perfect outing. The guide was funny, kind, and knowledgeable. He allowed us the right amount of time to look around, but kept us on task. The ship captains were skillful and offered many fun snacks and ample water. We saw many boobies, turtles, sharks, manta rays, and a seahorse. Very cool. I’d do it again! No issues with sea sickness with taking Dramamine.

This tour was full of amazing surprises! We saw so many incredible animals, including penguins, groups of sea turtles and sharks, and even a tiny seahorse! The guides were professional and reliable. Even if you're not a strong swimmer, there's no need to worry—they have underwater guides who will literally lead you to ensure your safety. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Highly recommended!

Must go!

This was an excellent tour! Pictures don’t do this place justice at all, you just must go. Our boat captain had mad skills, a total boss navigating the tunnels and stopping for mana rays!
