If you swim to the other end of the water, you can even swim through a tunnel of approximately one meter. Take a deep breath, and swim through the tunnel to get to the other end of the clear water. The path to Las Grietas is a nice hike through the unique setting of Santa Cruz. You can also walk to a higher point where you will have a nice view of the bay and the harbor of Puerto Ayora.

Tortuga Bay is an excellent spot to kick back and enjoy the usual types of beach activities, but surrounded by the fascinating Galapagos wildlife. It is a good spot to relax and sun bathe, or alternatively to swim, snorkel or take a walk. It is important to note that you cannot swim directly from the main beach at Tortuga Bay – this is forbidden due to the strong currents, but you can do so at the nearby cove, which is more sheltered.

  DAY 20  GALAPAGOS ISLANDS: CABO ROSA TUNNELS

   Exploring Tunnels: After breakfast, we will visit one of the most unique places in the archipelago, Los Túneles, that is to say the "tunnels", by making an excursion aboard a fast boat for a journey lasting about 45 minutes. These wonderful geological concretions were formed millions of years ago, when several lava flows descended the sides of Isla Isabela, until reaching the coast. Upon contact with the sea, the surface layer of magma solidified, while the liquid lava moved away into the sea. At the end of the eruption, there were hollow structures that, following the collapse of parts of their walls, allowed the water to enter and create authentic tunnels, a paradise for snorkelers. Participants will discover lush underwater wildlife including sharks, sea lions, lobsters, penguins, gannets and many other endemic Galapagos species. A snack will be served on board the boat. With a little luck, it will not be difficult to meet some giant manta rays. Return to Isla Isabela. Return to the hotel and overnight in Isabela
