The final half-hour of the ferry to Isla del Sol is the most scenic. At this point, the ferry nears the island and maneuvers through some rock formations. Pro tip: Snag a seat on the port (left-hand) side of the boat for the best views as you get close to Isla del Sol.

- Booking Ferry tickets: To ensure securing a seat, do buy a ferry ticket in advance online with us and you'll get someone delivering your boat ticket upon your arrival or at your hotel.
