I had a great time, the guides and the people were very friendly and knowledgeable and the food was delicious. My only complaint is that they have too many different tours doing the snorkeling on top of each other which I feel decreases the chances of seeing more of the wild life.
Both tours I arranged through Grupo Galapagos were amazing. Any questions I had prior to departure were promptly answered via WeChat. Upon arrival in Puerto Ayora, I visited their conveniently located office to discuss departure times/locations, required items, itinerary questions etc. My guide for Floreana Island was Ronnie, and he was very friendly, knowledgeable, and provided a lot of information about the history of the island, and its famous exotic inhabitants. We saw plenty of sea lions and red iguanas. Those who chose to snorkel also saw sea turtles. My guide for North Seymour Island was James, and he was equally as friendly and knowledgeable. He made sure everyone knew exactly what the itinerary was for the day, and gave plenty of interesting information about the animals as we saw them (yellow iguanas, blue footed boobies, and frigate birds). I would highly recommend either of these tours, or any others that this tour operator offers. You will not be disappointed!
This full-day North Seymour Island tour was one of the most well-rounded and enjoyable experiences we had in the Galapagos! We booked just 12 hours in advance, and Day Tours Galapagos was able to accommodate us with ease, including pickup directly from our Airbnb in Puerto Ayora.
Our guide, Ramiro, was both passionate and incredibly knowledgeable. The 1.5-hour guided hike around the island allowed us to observe frigate birds, finches, blue-footed boobies, and marine iguanas in their natural habitat. The pace was perfect and educational throughout.
The tour also included a relaxing yacht ride and 2 guided snorkeling sessions. All the snorkeling gear was provided, including wetsuits we requested ahead of time.
A fresh and flavorful tuna lunch was served onboard, complete with rice, beans, and vegetable salad. We were also treated to fruit, dessert, and even a champagne toast to end the day. Everything was well organized and thoughtfully executed a fantastic way to explore North Seymour and surrounding waters!
These guys were amazing for us. We booked all our day trips with them and my goodness we were happy we did. They organised everything perfectly, gave advice when we asked and helped us while we were there as well with things like storing luggage for a few hours which they didn’t need to do.
There response is always quick and always helpful. If we go back to a place where they do tours I wouldn’t dream of using another tour organiser, I was so surprised how all encompassing their service was.
Very well organized and pleasant. Our guide Cristian was very knowledgeable, helpful and funny. The visit to Española was spectacular and we got the chance to see wildlife really up close. We had a great meal on board and we snorkeled afterwards. Highly recommended.
