During the tour, you'll have the opportunity to look for species such as blue-footed boobies, frigatebirds, lava herons, and other seabirds that inhabit this area.
Continue exploring quiet areas near the mangroves, where you can appreciate the contrast between the crystal-clear waters, the volcanic formations, and the coastal vegetation. With a bit of luck, you'll also be able to observe sea turtles and other animals in their natural environment.
