This home is now known as Caldera Boating Tours, SA Operating Base, born September 2005, also dedicated to tourism.

In 2003 they visit Tortuga Island where there were only two companies that arranged the tour on the side of the Gulf. Then they thought that they can offer a faster, effective tour as the amount of tourism was taking so close to Tortuga Base. Then they started to operate with small groups.
