los tuneles

平坦的火山地带风景,海岸线的天然桥梁,火山岛上的羊肠小道,这些美景绝对是视觉上的震撼。零星的仙人掌和偶尔停留的鸟儿,还有其他野生动物,这些情景让我觉得像置身于一个遥远而梦幻的星球。我们得以有机会下船在这个类似梯田的崎岖的地方走走,这里全是岩石和峭壁——这让我真心想要找个手杖用用——事实上摇摇晃晃地走在火山岩上,除了类似于仙人掌的高大的植物以外,绝对找不到其他可以扶的东西。游览了火山岩地带以后,我们气喘吁吁地走到了附近一个开阔点的地方——真是超级难忘的经历啊!体验和海洋深处的生物共处的感觉让人难以置信——巨大的海龟和魔鬼鱼,十几只白鲨还有成群的发光鱼和颜色鲜亮的海洋植物。这绝不是你在电视机里可以看到的景色!我永远都不会忘记的。如果你也有机会来这里探险的话——千万别错过这里。

去Los Tuneles(隧道)的路上,我们遇到了好几条蝠鲼,船甚至还特别停了下来,让我们好好观察这种海中的鸟儿们。后来觉得隧道那边风景还是很美的,我们有机会站在桥上,看那些鹰鳐,海龟和鲨鱼们在我们下面清澈的水中遨游。之后看到一对蓝脚的鲣鸟,正在给幼鸟喂食,持续了好一段时间。还有雀鸟在仙人掌上做巢。我们没有在Tuneles这个地方浮潜,因为导游,也是Sula Sula酒店的老板坚持我们必须跟他在一起,在他为我们选择的地方进行浮潜。结果最后发现他选的地方让人失望。而后来跟Julio一起时,更是什么也没看到,只有一些鱼。有一段时间我们看到的一条鲨鱼,就跟着它游,因此就跟团队分开了。结果最后我们变成在10条礁鲨上方游,而它们在绕着圈游,感觉特别不可思议。很可惜,当时其他人离我们太远了,没办法通知他们。最后我们回到大集体中,对Julio给我们选择的游泳路线是如此无聊也感到很吃惊。他只是拉着我们所有人游过了锋利的熔岩,那里强有力的波浪不停把人往礁石上拍,好几个人的胳膊和大腿最后都被割伤了。所以,要小心选择你的向导,选择之前要仔细询问你们要去浮潜地方的信息。

我们感觉仿佛到了另一个世界……熔岩的形状很奇特,还看到了野生海洋生物。乘坐在船头,穿梭在各种形状的熔岩之间,棒极了。我看到许多海龟在海底隧道或者光束中优雅地游泳……我们潜水的时候,水底有一些暗,但是我们看到了光线以及鲨鱼。这也许是我来加拉帕戈斯群岛旅行最美丽的一处景观。

这里的海龟和鲨鱼都非常棒。几乎每10分钟就能看见一只海龟和鲨鱼。不过这里很冷,所以最好租件大衣披上,以便舒服地参观!坐船时,要睁大眼睛看蝠鲼和成群的海龟,如果幸运的话,导游还会将船停下来,以便游客和蝠鲼玩一会儿。要当心鲨鱼,因为我们在看到一只巨型蝠鲼后不到一分钟,就看见了一只虎鲨!

这次的旅行太棒了,这是我们唯一的一次背包旅行,很值得。走在洛杉矶隧道里的感觉很不一样,绝对不能错过。我们还看了“海龟公路”上很特别的鱼,幸运的话还能看到蓝色爪子的鲣鸟。

We saw so much wildlife! We got up close with white tipped sharks and sea turtles and blue footed boobies. Saw a sea snake and lots and lots of fish.I find the name "Tunnels" misleading... it's more like lava bridges... but still it's awesome.Highly recommend, yeah it sucks it costs so much to do it, but it's worth it (you can get it for $80USD).You should be a decent swimmer though because there are a few strong currents you run into and you dive under a couple bridges.Oh and bring shoes, because you get out and walk around the lava 'bridges' for a while to take photos.

- Bring a Gopro camera with a flotation device- Bring snacks (food and drink)- Wear plenty of sunscreen

Definitely go with Rosedelco, they were the best! We swam with turtles, sharks, penguins, a young albatross and golden rays. And best of all we saw two large seahorses. The guides took photos of everything we saw and copied them to a memory stick for us at no charge. We highly recommend Los Tuneles with Rosedelco!

On our second day on Isabela, my friend and I booked a joint tour of Los Tuneles through our hotel (Iguana Crossing) and it was absolutely the highlight of our stay on the island. Do not miss this! The day we went, there were 8 others on the tour - to make 10 total (not including the guides). You start by being boated (about 20-30 mins) on a high speed boat to a rock jut out near the coast where you can see penguins and blue-footed boobies sunning. We also were lucky enough to spot some manta rays mating in the water (pointed out by the captain). Then we were taken by boat through the tuneles - the lava rock formations in the shallows - that look like small bridges linking little rock islets together. You get to walk on a specific area of the tuneles and see the interesting vegitation and perhaps some sea life if you are lucky. We were and saw a sea turtle swim through along with plenty of endemic crabs. We also spotted a nesting blue-footed boobie. Back to the boat where they take you to two separate snorkeling spots. One is where the black tipped sharks are - along with some fish. And the second, most importantly, contains the sea turtles! On our trip we spotted about 6 total - at most 2 were near each other at one with perhaps a 3rd nearby - but you could get very close (don't touch them - all animals in the Galapagos are protected) and they majestically and calmly swam by - around - or beneath you. Breathtaking. Mind-blowing. Be sure to do this - the memories will last a lifetime.We were served a "bag lunch" as part of our tour as well - but be sure to pack plenty of water. It's sunny and hot out no matter when you go.

It's expensive for $80 (?), but in my opinion, you can't not go to Los Tuneles while on Isabela.The landscape is really neat--you can see exactly what it's like in the pictures, but there are so many arches and tunnels that it's a really fun experience to weave your way through them on a boat, looking at boobies and pelicans on the land, and sea turtles and fish in the water.On a typical tour, you get to snorkel in two spots, maybe for 45 minutes each time. While snorkeling, we saw seahorses, rays, sea turtles, and sharks. Plus it's cool to snorkel around the rocks and through the arches. The water is protected and calm here--it's easy for bad swimmers like me.

We went for a snorkeling trip in February, 2015 and it was amazing. We chose the Rosedelco agency, which was great but be aware they don't speak English. As a matter of fact, on the galapagos surprisingly not many people speak English. It is still manageable and if you are good with hands and gestures you should be alright. During the trip we saw Rays, lots of them, swam with them too and sea turtles, saw white tailed sharks, colorful fish, sea horse, swam under tunnels, visited pinguins. It really was an awesome trip! Highly recommended if you go to isabella. It is $80 so not the cheapest but you do see a lot too..

This is the one thing you can't miss. For my couple and I this was the best part of the trip. Book it with time! it should be aprox. 80$

It was great, saw manta rays, sharks, one sea turtle, seahorses, a large and beautiful school of fish (flounder maybe), and 3 little penguins. I was fantastic, but it almost seemed like everything (all of the sea life) was staged in the exact spots the captain took us. We were excited about the underwater pictures that the captain took and that was included in the $80 package, but they didn't turn out very well and we didn't know that we had to bring our own flash drive (or buy a CD for $3, which is what we had to do).

The most memorable moment for us was the boat ride. We saw over 30 manta rays, got up close to a giant one - 5m wing span. We also saw their 'mating dance', jumping up from the water to impress their potential mates. We wish we could have spent more time following one, or being closer to one. We are scuba divers so we know how its so rare to see mantas. Other folks in the boat lost a bit of interest after they saw 10 or more. We couldn't get enough of them! The tunnels itself were amazing. The only problem was they wanted you to stay so close together during the snorkeling that you end up getting kicked in the face, and missing the animals since people who had cameras or go pros were pointing it in the animals' faces. The other annoying thing is people trying to snorkel when they are obviously afraid of the water. This causes a lot of problems for the entire group and wastes time. If just for snorkeling I would rate 3, but with the manta rays spotting this is definitely a 5 plus for me - a must do for scuba divers who want to see mantas up close.

We weren't sure about this tour at first but everywhere we went everyone kept talking about it and they were right. This experience was great. We had a great boat and crew that played fun music and when we found manta rays out in the open ocean they stopped to let us jump in with them! They took us to a place where we swam with a school of golden rays and then onward to see sleeping sharks in caves, sea horses, and sea turtles. The best snorkelling experience we have had!
