From the Galápagos Islands World / Places
Las Tintoreras
Take a guided boat outing for a lava-trail walk and the chance to observe resting reef sharks. The narrow shark channel is for watching; any swimming is a separate activity.

Keep exploring Galápagos Islands with our travel partners.
Las Tintoreras brings lava trails and marine wildlife together just offshore from Puerto Villamil. The narrow shark channel gives the walk a particular focus, while iguana and sea-lion habitat adds interest along the way. The guide determines the permitted route and any separate water activity.
What to look for
White-tipped reef sharks can rest in the narrow channel
Lava paths pass marine iguana and sea-lion habitat
Useful to know
Take an authorized guided small-boat excursion from Puerto Villamil.
Keep to the visitor trail; the shark channel is an observation site rather than a swimming pool.
