Islas Tortugas Snorkel Tour

On one of our recent tours to the magical Islas Tortuga, we stumbled upon an underwater camera and ended up with some great shots. Keep in mind that we only used a disposal camera for these pictures, so just imagine the force of the radiant colors of the coral and the fish that live here. Here are just a few examples of the diverse marine life living here: Parrotfish, Morrish Idols, Angel Fish, Starfish and vibrant coral reef...







You know you want to snorkel here too! Here is deal, the tour is all day, 9:30-4:00, including equipment, boat transportation, lunch with fresh sailfish BBQ, beer, fruit, water and soda. We snorkel in the morning, then head to the white sand beach covered with palm trees to eat lunch and relax. Then we venture out to snorkel again.

How we TRAVEL LIKE WE CARE with this tour:
Our captain is THE local who invented the tour. He not only knows the area better than anyone else, but he taught the other companies. He goes slow so you can snap great shots and enjoy the coastline. We visit a sunken WWII ship and see El Chorro, the cascade that falls into the sea. Plus, we snorkel at two different spots!

Since you know you want to snorkel here, go ahead and email us and we will have your reservation ready-and-waiting for you!
Email us: proyectomontezuma@gmail.com
Include your name, which day you want to go (we are flexible if dates change) and how many people are in your group.

PLUS, you can book your sustainable underground tours ahead of time too! If you are interested in learning from locals about the area's flora and fauna and eco-history, you can book tours hiking, biking and kayaking just by sending us an email. As always, if you have any questions, just email us!
