Swim in crystal clear waters surrounded by craggy rock walls at Las Grietas. You'll find plenty of incredible nature on the path to the relatively hidden swimming spot, which you can reach by crossing a rocky lava field and walking by a cactus forest, before finally descending to the cool waters. Jump off the rock platform to make a splash, or grab your snorkel to check out the mysteries that lie beneath the surface. Don't forget to wear a pair of water-appropriate shoes, as the path can be extremely painful in bare feet.

We snorkeled in Las Grietas. It's a short walk along a reasonable path to get to the grotto. While there a guide will assist you. We had 45 minutes to snorkel, which was enough time to slowly swim...

Is a great place and is fine that control how much time spends there but $10 is too expensive for 45 mins in the place. They don't give you any recipe or tribulation.

Very nice walk and not long. 80cent for the water taxi and for the tourists 10$ entry mandatory with the local guide who explains everything about the place. If you do snorkeling you see a lot of fish but even if you just swim its really beautiful and suggestive, the water it's cristallin. The groups have to change every 40 min to let other people go in, so in totaI the entire experience is about 1h something/2h maximum. I definitely recommend it.

It's a good looking channel, but the swim was just meh and there are a lot of sharp and slippery rocks. So be very careful.
