Best blue footed boobies viewing!
Best viewing of Blue footed Boobies during our trip. Also saw sharks in open snorkeling area and swim was very refreshing.

We had an amazing big day!! What a wonderful welcome to the Galápagos Islands!! Everything was taken care of for us so no need to worry about bus and ferry tickets or luggage, explored despite the rain (and kept the luggage totally dry) and got to visit the tortoise reserve!!! Thank you again for a wonderful introduction to the Galapagos!!!

The tour was fun and our guide was very nice. The communication for pick up location was very good. There is walking over the rocks so wear good shoes.

Well organized and awesome experience. My only negative comment is that this is well overpriced for what it is, but if you want a hassle-free experience, then this is perfect. Our guide, Jefferson, was super friendly and informative, and overall a great pleasure.

Stress-Free Trip with Incredible Snorkeling Every Day
he tour package was excellent! What I liked most was how seamlessly everything was organized—transportation, pick-up, meals, and hotel. The tour operator coordinated everything behind the scenes, and everyone knew exactly what to do and was on time every single day. Very impressive!
We snorkeled every day and saw all kinds of animals, including a seahorse and an eagle ray. All the guides were extremely knowledgeable, and the entire experience was so much fun.

Great tour!
Incredible experience with a naturalist tour guide who helped us see reef sharks, blue-footed boobies, turtles, and more. Definitely recommend for visitors to Santa Cruz! Would've liked more info about what to bring on the tour as there was a bit of walking on rocks. Snacks and cold drinks were such a plus. Overall, we loved the experience!
It is worth giving yourself a few extra minutes to figure out which boat will be yours, since the emails won't tell you and you have to ask dock staff.

Great way to see the island of Santa Cruz
This tour takes to the places that can only be seen by boat. The tour is a bit less than 4 hours, but totally worth it.
We were able to see and enjoy all of the listed points of interests, and learn about the reach history along the way.

Great trip!
Perfect, uneventful and not very turbulent! Well run! Pickup right on time. Bring small change for the water taxi that ferries you to the ferry. Great wifi!

Uk solo traveller
Good tour. Walking the trails is hot and rocky, cover up and wear sturdy but waterproof footwear. Pick up is end of pier not by the lettering. Snorkelling was fab.

It was really nice we saw blue footed boobies, lots of iguanas, crabs, lava lizards and some sharks.

Unforgettable experience
Our guide, Gabriel, was knowledgeable and friendly. Seeing the tortoises in their natural habitat was amazing. The lava tunnels were very cool as well as seeing the craters. Gabriel shared so much information about everything we saw and did. Once in a lifetime experience. There are a lot of these tours to choose from. So glad this is the one we picked.

When to visit

Because of the high winds and strong currents, Tortuga Bay Beach is considered more of a surfing beach than a swimming beach.
Visit the island’s fish market, located in Pelican Bay, at around 4pm to see the local fishermen bring in their catches, which attract plenty of pelicans and frigatebirds.
You should not drink the tap water on the island; bottled or purified water is recommended.
