The trip itself is great, well organized and worth it. But it does NOT take you to Gardner BEACH (or, as it is phrased in most travel guides, Gardner Bay). As far as I understood, day tours to Gardner Beach are not allowed by the government, you have to b go on a cruise - which is a bit annoying if you don’t like cruises.. I mean, we passed by that beautiful beach, so why don’t allow us to land there?
They should point that out clearly, to me the description was a bit misleading.
Still nice to see the Albatrosses at Espagnola though.
The snorkeling on Gardner Island was below average compared to other snorkeling spots in Galápagos.
We had a fantastic trip to Espanola, great crew and very knowledgeable. Get travel were very helpful and there whenever we needed to ask a question . We would recommend both the trip and the agent.
Wonderful. The albatross were amazing. Snorkeling was great and the tour guide, boat captain and sailer were great. 100% recommend. Just before the seas can be a little rough. But overall definitely as many stars as you can give!

The actual Bartolomé location is beautiful but the guide was quite disinterested on the trip. Also, they advertised the boat to be 2 hours each way but it was 3 hours each way as the boat they used went very slow which was frustrating as you spend most the day travelling.
