Excellent tour. We got to see eagle rays, white tip sharks and great view of blue footed boobies. The surprise was a group of Galápagos sharks. The snorkeling was little average but that is just luck. would recommend going in the morning for this tour instead of the afternoon that we did. The guide was excellent with lot of knowledge on the local flora, fauna and landscape.

The group never arrived for our agreed upon pickup location. The company claimed they did but we were there on time and never saw anyone.
The trip was scheduled in the afternoon, the morning of, someone from the tour company reached out to confirm the time AND pickup location. We confirmed via whats-app and replied letting them know we weren't staying at that hotel (we were staying at the neighboring hotel) but we would be in the lobby at the start of the pickup window.
The window comes and goes and we reached out to the company with no reply, still have not received one to this day. The boat group claimed they looked for us but we never saw them in the lobby. Even if we were late, (which we were not) leaving before the agreed upon window and without making an attempt to contact the customer is not appropriate.
The company never attempted to make a refund or rebook us for their error.

Dear customer we were in the meeting point and in the time we told you but you went by yourself before we plan the pick up and you did not appear.
It is not our fault you went to the meeting point before the time we told you.
I recommend putting the nam of the hotel your are staying to plan the pick up not another hotel.

A quick, whistlestop tour of the inlet with a fabulous guide, captain and assistant. We saw so many sealions, turtles, iguanas and blue footed boobies! Its like being in a wildlife documentary! There is time to snorkle for a bit too. A nice, compact tour after a hectic, tiring few days

This tour was fantastic - we were able to see and learn about the wildlife on land and in the water. I would suggest doing this tour in the morning/low tides as visibility was pretty bad once we finally got into the water to snorkel. Still a great tour!

The boat ride and the snorkeling spots were terrific too bad it was a drizzling and overcast that day. We saw do many sea turtles that we swam with and even a large sea horse. There were sea lions including fur sea lion, blue footed boobies, and a couple of cute penguins. This area is so cool and raw nature with all the volcanic underwater bridges - looks like it was just created out of primordial ooze.

AmaZing experience! We loved it! Kids had a great time! It’s not a “half day” tour- more like 2 1/2 hours. We would have liked more time to snorkel, but it is fantastic! Great guide!

Zeer slechte ervaring, meer deelnemers dan in de beschrijving staat. En duurt totaal maar 2 uur en 15 minuten. Ook zijn de middag tours niet gegarandeerd.
Doordat er 16 deelnemers waren was er geen controle met snorkelen en ging de gids met de snelle zwemmers mee waardoor de andere achterbleven in best een woest stukje water. Al met al een zeer nare ervaring voor veel geld (we hadden mensen aan board die maar de helft betaald hebben)

Dear customer, regarding snorkeling, all our boats have the exact amount of space needed to complete the activity. If the sea is rough, it's a weather issue that we can't control. Regarding the price, many of our customers book directly with us and not through a platform that has a discount of up to 40% of the actual price. My recommendation is that you always purchase direct tours to avoid this inconvenience.
