A panga day trip to Los Tuneles on the south coast of
Isabella
Lining up to enter through the breakers
Timing our approach with the breaking waves
Shooting through the white water
Through the breakers, we're welcomed with open arms!
Immediately past the reef, washing machine seas
We motor in dead calm water through a labyrinth of lava
rock
Later we snorkeled among the lava in brilliant water
Los Tuneles means "tunnels"
Low tide is the best time to visit these fantasitc rock
formations which attract lots of wildlife and tourists
Even with a few boatloads of people, its a tranquill site
Numbers of tourists to wildlife sites in Galapagos
National Park are strictly controlled to preserve them
Surgeonfish are easy to spot in the crystal clear water
Pacific green sea turtles arrive to find mates
