Detailed itinerary

During the 45-minute navigation, we will take you to two incredible destinations that will leave you in awe.
Our first stop is Penguin Bay, where you will have the chance to observe a school of whitetip sharks and baby and adult sea lions. While swimming in the crystal-clear waters, you can even watch the wolves playfully interacting with the passengers. As you explore the underwater world, you'll be mesmerized by the vibrant colors of the damsel fish, sergeant fish, parrot fish, and green sea turtles.

Stop 2

We also offer a sport fishing activity with fishing rods that lasts around 45 minutes at the stone with no name. Here, you can spot blue-footed boobies, frigates, and sea lions relaxing on the rocks. And at the end of the tour, we'll take you to the picturesque Las Palmitas beach, where you can stroll and observe the iguanas. Keep your eyes peeled for frigate birds resting in the mangroves and sea lions basking in the sun. You'll even get a chance to see some of the unique plant life that's native to the islands. We'll return you safely to the port at the end of the tour.
A huge colony of sea lions (Zalophus californianas wolebaeki) can be found on this beach and marine iguanas (Amblyrhynchus cristatus) can be seen in the bushes and on the rocks.

The population of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno uses this area for recreation. People who visit Tijeretas Hill may also access Punta Carola via a trail.
