Descending deeper into the underwater world of Punta Carrion, we’ll be immediately mesmerized by the incredible visibility and the abundance of marine life that surrounds us—schools of hammerhead and whale sharks, this last one available between June and December. At the same time, playful sea lions dart in and out of the rocky underwater cliffs.

Upon emerging, they return to the rocks and expel excess salt through a unique spitting behavior. In addition to these fascinating reptiles, you may encounter Galapagos penguins, sharks, and vibrant schools of tropical fish.
