SITE OVERVIEW

Located inside of a cove in the remains of an old caldera, this site attracts an exciting array of marine life, making it an excellent place to go snorkeling. The fish species found here include surgeonfish, parrotfish, the King Angelfish, wrasse, and the Moorish Idol fish. If you carefully scan the ocean floor you might even catch sight of a sea star or two. Occasionally, Galapagos penguin and sea lions will swim in the water with the snorkelers for a surprising, but memorable experience. If you abandon the cove and swim with the current heading south, you will most likely meet sea turtles, eagle rays, or even sharks.
