About this trip

 

A walk in the company of Albatross, marine iguanas, Nasca boobies and more

This tour starts very early in the morning and it is important to take proper precautions for motion sickness. The first place to arrive is Punta Suarez. Where you receive the young sea lions swimming around the boat showing their skills.

Española is the only island in the Galapagos that you will see the albatross birds and with a little bit of welcome they receive you with their mating dance. Between April and December are the months that you can surely see on the Island.

The walk through the Spanish island lasts a couple of hours, where you can see a lot of lava iguanas, marine iguana, sea lions, nasca and blue-footed boobies, and the attraction of the albatross moment. The view of the coves that the Spanish Island has is spectacular, and it is a place where the Nasca reside, along with the iguanas and sea lions.

Before snorkeling on the Gardner islet, lunch is served, it is advisable to indicate on the form if you are vegetarian or vegan.

Amazing trip! I was solo so was hesitant going somewhere I had no idea about but Eduardo was awesome and communicated with me the entire time. Wonderful island day trips and was able to see the wonders of these islands in just a week. Can’t wait to come back to explore more!

Positives: The guide and all the boat personell were great. The experience was amazing, getting a chance to see the island, the views, the snorkeling with penguins, turtles, octopi, black tip & white tip reef sharks, and many others. It was just the right amount of time in the water and hiking Bartolome. The guide had good info and led us to good things to see. Opportunities: The tour could be cut by 2 hours if the boat to the island wasn't as slow as it was. The lunch options could have been explained better. I'm not a fan of ceviche and that was the only fish option. Not a grilled filet like on other tours. Just a side note, but on another tour on San Cristobal, all participants got GoPro video from all of our dive locations. The guide seemed to have a camera recording but not video was offered or sent. That would make it even better.

Fue una visita realmente espectacular. Todo fue perfecto: el barco, la atención de la tripulación, la comida, el guía naturalista y, sobre todo, el espectacular paisaje de Bartolomé Island y el snorkel en Sulivan bay donde vimos pingüinos, tiburones, tortugas y mil tipos de peces distintos. Una locura de la naturaleza. Si viajan a Santa Cruz, no dejen de hacer este tour...vale realmente la pena

NO RECOMENDADO, CUIDADO, ESTAFA. Una verdadera estafa, primero el turoperador pidió que canceláramos por civitatis porque demoraban en pasar. Luego le pasamos la dirección y no sabíamos que debíamos ir a Galápagos, dado que estábamos en Manta y casi unos 20 días antes que habíamos dicho esto, no nos dijeron nada, escribieron el día antes que no podían hacer nada, y que no se dieron cuenta que nuestro hotel estaba en Manta. Perdimos todo el dinero, nos sentimos estafados, la realidad es que es una verguenza la agencia, no lo recomiendo para nada.

The trip itself was fine but the organization was lacking. We did not get any communication regarding pick up time or meeting place until I called the day prior. And it seemed as if they were not expecting us. When we were dropped off at the port for the ferry to the speed boat to get to Isabela Island we were advised that the tour leader would have our names displayed. The speed boat ride was very harsh and if I had any medical issues ... back sensitivity, this would have been a disaster. Once on Isabela Island, our names were nowhere to be found and a tour leader had to call the tour operator who then added us to his list. Once the land tour was completed by Victor, we were handed over to Andrea for the kayaking portion of the tour. This felt out of sorts and we felt as if we were best being accommodated by Victor and Andrea as a stop gap measure. This was very disappointing as this was the most costly all the tours we did in the 5 days we were in the Galapagos. Would not use the services again or recommend them.
