Cruise ship passengers!
Unfortunately we are unable to arrange trips for cruise ship poassengers
due to
the distance to the port & the time schedules of most ships.
If you would like an Island Tour with an

Arriving at El Tirano harbor!

Our boat is a very reliable typical fisherman's

pick-up at your hotel.
You will be taken to the fishing village of "El Tirano" in order to
depart for the Islands of Los Frailes at around 9:15 - 9:30 AM.
The navigation time to Los Frailes is about 40 minutes and on arrival we will go to a typical fisherman's rancho (house) where we will prepare for the dives. We provide all equipment - for snorkelers this will include a mask, snorkel and fins and for scuba divers all necessary equipment including wetsuit. If you bring your own equipment we will provide weight belts and air tanks.
After our morning dive we will
return around 1 PM to the ranch where you will be served a lunch.
This also includes beverages.
After a short break we'll go to
the second location for diving or snorkeling.
The return to " El Tirano" will be
around 3:00 - 3:30 PM.
