Isla Lobos Tour
$130.00 / per person
Snorkel with Sea Lions, Volcanic Landscapes and Iconic Birds
Just 30 minutes by boat from the port of San Cristóbal lies Isla Lobos, a small island named for the large number of sea lions that rest and play along its shores. This tour is perfect for those looking to connect with marine wildlife without long hours of navigation.
You’ll have the chance to snorkel alongside playful sea lions, turtles, tropical fish, and—if you’re lucky—rays or small sharks. The tour also includes a short hike where you can spot blue-footed boobies, frigatebirds, and coastal bird nests, all set in a dramatic volcanic landscape.
