Overview

To take the Las Tintoreras Tour, travelers can arrive the same day by taking the 7:00 a.m. ferry from Santa Cruz Island to Isabela Island, allowing enough time to join the tour upon arrival.Tintoreras Islet is a small volcanic island located just off the coast of Puerto Villamil, on Isabela Island. It is renowned for its rich marine and terrestrial biodiversity. In a narrow lava crevice, visitors can observe white tip reef sharks (locally called “tintoreras”) resting in shallow waters. The islet is also home to marine iguanas—some of the largest in the archipelago—lava lizards, sea lions, and seabirds such as blue footed boobies, pelicans, herons, and occasionally Galápagos penguins.
