Great half day trip to encounter much sea life - We had an excellent half day where we could see all the wild life that Galapagos offers. Birds with their babies, sea turtles and many colourful fishes. All very well organised. Snorkel gear and life vests are provided. Thanks for an amazing experience.

Good Fun. - We had great guide, he was super nice and new a lot about the fauna and flaura. We weren’t stressed and could take as much time as we wanted looking at things. All in all a great start to our arrival at Santa Cruz.

Good half day adventure from Puerto Ayora - A well organised trip covering 3 main areas. We were met by the pier as arranged right on time by the rep. Our tour had 16 people and was comfortable. We started by visiting the playar de perros where we saw the marine iguanas and also the blue feeted boobies. Then of to last gritas and finally a swim with sea lions and giant tortoises. They also offered a dring with biscuits or bananas as a surprise. Over all very well run and the guide on the boat was very good.

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.

Walk for a nice rift - A long walk on ground that is not always passable and in full sun. Once there, a nice crack in the lava. However, the view is nice over the port and the city.
