A nice place to relax - A cute small town where you can organize any activity. Animals are all around, and would defitely recommend snorkeling at la cancha de la perla. Keep in mind it's far away from the main land, so more expensive than pueto ayora for example (6 dollars a beer - 10 dollars menú del día) but much more quaint and quiet.

Great Tour experience in Isabela island - I stayed 3 days in Isabela island during Christmas time in 2022. Having concerns that tours may be fully booked during the holiday time, I contacted different tour agencies via whatsapp upfront. I am a solo traveler that does not speak spanish. They were pretty responsive during the contact time a SIERRA NEGRA VOLCANO & TUNELES TOUR + FERRY TICKET

Tintoreras kayak - We had a great experience touring with the tintoreras by kayak. The sea in most parts is calm. We were a group of only 4 people and our guide was very informative. We had some time for snorkeling where the Highlight was to see an iguana feeding underwater something that we didn't see before. Also saw a shark, turtles and a penguin.

Good kayaking with a great guide - Two good experiences: Kayaking round the Tintoreras Islets and snorkeling the Concha La Perla bay. The guide was very good at spotting animals and telling about them - you had to stay close to him in your kayak to hear him though. We saw some penguins and blue footed boobies on land fairly close and some turtles and sharks in the water. It was easier to handle the kayaks than expected - they were very stable. The main snorkeling experience was a playful young sea lion swimming very close to us.

Not worth going with Viator; didn’t have proper gear and charged extra - We booked this snorkeling and kayaking tour two months in advance, and I had specified that I was coming with three kids and told them their ages. When we got to the island, they didn’t have snorkeling gear for one of my kids (the youngest one, 8 yo) and we had to wait for more than an hour to get on the kayaks. The guide Rico was awesome, though! They also said that transportation to the kayaking center to change into our wetsuits would be included but they still charged us $5. all in all, it’s not worth going through Viator, you’d be much better off just booking directly with a local company.
