        We headed to the passenger boarding area that is located in the port of Santa Cruz and then board a boat that will take us to a point known as Playa la Fe, which we hike around trails to watch iguanas. marine and then, if the currents are suitable, a snorkeling in its bay. Among the animals that we can find there are two types of bay sharks such as: white tip shark and black tip shark. We board the boat and travel to Pinzón Island in a journey of approximately an hour and a half. On site we can do a snorkeling time or two depending on the situation At the previous point of visit, we have lunch on board between snorkeling times in the area. The panorama of the place offers us a beautiful landscape and we can recognize the area as the home of sea lions, marine iguanas, turtles, eels, eagle rays and bay sharks (white tip). Penguins may be warned in the area. Arrival at port is at 4:00 p.m.

        A must-do tour if you go to Galapagos!
        The guide Martin was wonderful. It was more than expected to easily see blue-footed boobies (chicks and eggs, too), magnificent frigate bird (with red balloon) , marine iguanas, land iguanas, sea lions, lava lizards, Galapagos snakes, and more. Lunch was delicious, prepared by the cook on the yacht. After lunch, we went snorkeling. A big green turtle appeared right in front of me and I was happy to swim with it for a while.

        Best time ever - wonderful birthday!!
        Our guide Roberto and Henry the drive made my trip to Ecuador very special. It was my birthday and I couldn’t of had a better birthday. It was just wonderful so the guy is so knowledgeable and so easy to talk to and I got a chance to see hummingbirds and the spa was excellent. I will definitely book with him on a trip next time I go to Ecuador, which I love this country is so beautiful and there’s so much to see. I highly recommend it.

        Good to do as a first tour. We had seen a lot of the wildlife already so it was a little tedious.
        Very hot, and a lot of talking by the guide initially. Once we got to the snorkeling portion the tour improved. We did this tour last amongst 5 tours, and it would have been better suited for doing first.

        EXCELLENT sites, poor Guide
        Best tour on Santa Cruz Island. Tour visits 5 off-shore sites that are all great. Lots of snorkeling, swimming, hiking, boating. Includes snorkeling/swimming in the infamous Las Grietas. Would be 5 stars but our Guide, David Ascencio, yelled at us for using our saliva in our masks….? He embarrassed us by yelling in Spanish “go spit in your own private mask and not ours….? Ummm, that’s diving and snorkeling 101 dude. Without David Ascencio berating and over-controlling us, would have been great.

        Nice Introduction to Santa Cruz Island
        Good introduction to Santa Cruz, if you arrive early and want to take advantage of a later afternoon tour. Saw some beautiful wildlife, including a Blue Footed Boobie, iguanas and sea turtle.

        Amazing wildlife and great overview
        We really enjoyed this tour. We had the chance to snorkel and saw a shark laying in the sand and a sea turtle swimming and coming up for air, not to mention all the beautiful fish. This was also our first sighting of the blue-footed boobies and frigatebirds. The bay tour is a standard trip here, and having English translations was super helpful.

        Never book with these people
        Never book with these people. After taking our money and booking us for a very expensive excursion, they told us they didn't have room on that day and that we would have to come two days later. Then my travel companion got covid when they did have room for us, but they refused to give us a refund, not caring at all that we could come on the excursion and infect everyone else on the trip.

        DO NOT book with this tour company!!
        Here’s why: 1. The per person price through TripAdvisor is $246. The day after our tour, we walked by their office and asked what the price would be and was told $125 -- $100 if we book for the next day. 2. The tour description is misleading or inaccurate! It gives the impression that you’ll be on a private boat and says “We will have lunch on board…” The reality is that it’s an old water taxi and others outside of the tour were passengers. Lunch was at a restaurant on the island. They also say “This tour/activity will have a maximum of 15 travelers” when our group had 18 participants. 3. The boat ride itself was very rough with a constant smell of exhaust fumes – good thing we had Dramamine! 4. We had 5 minutes to change into our wetsuits at the restaurant, in full view of everyone. Good thing I wore my good boxer briefs! 5. Our guide was completely unmotivated! He would also walk way ahead of the group sometimes rather than provide any explanations or make sure that everyone was safe. On positive note: 1. The snorkeling and sights on Floreana were worth a visit. 2. The restaurant food was delicious.
