Los Tuneles - Cabo Rosa
This excursion starts with a 45-minute boat ride to Roca Union where we will circumnavigate this pinnacle rock in the middle of the ocean. We will see Nazca boobies, if we are lucky, blue-footed boobies, iguanas and sea lions perched on the rock. From here we continue our journey keeping our eye out for giant manta rays. On occasion, dolphins and whales have been spotted in this area. The Tunnels is a site named by local fisherman where they go diving for lobsters in tunnels formed by lava flows under the sea. There are natural lava bridges and arches above the water that were formed by cooling lava after an eruption of Volcano Cerro Azul many years ago. You will have the opportunity to snorkel here and take a short walk on the lava rocks. The marine life is amazing. Hopefully you will see white tipped reef sharks sleeping in caves in a nearby location called Finado.
Note: Private charters available, contact us for further information.
Los Tuneles Cabo Rosa tour takes place in collapsed lava formations under and above the sea which gives us a unique scenery to explore the calm waters and appreciate nature. In this tour, you’ll be able to swim under lava tunnels while watching amazing sealife enjoying as much as you the clear calm waters of Isabela Island.
After the walk above the lava tunnels, it’s time to take a look underwater. Well dip into the water and swim around the tunnels with some playful sea lions, sharks, rays, turtles, and starfishes. Don’t worry about the sharks, they are used to seeing humans and having plenty of fish to eat so they won’t even mind you. Plus, you’ll always be in the company of an authorized guide that will make sure you are always safe.
