BeGalapagos was WONDERFUL. I was a little nervous booking all 3 of our day tours (Bartolome, Pinzon and Santa Fe) with one company, but turns out that was a great choice. They were easy to reach via WhatsApp, which worked out well since I did have a few questions. The guides were friendly, reliable and knowledgeable and the group sizes were small enough that it still felt personal. If you are wondering (because I was), even though it says "box lunch", we got a hot, freshly cooked lunch on all 3 boat days. Twice it was fish and rice and once was chicken and rice. This was LOVELY. There's no breakfast or coffee on the boats so make sure you hit up that hotel breakfast ahead of time, but they do provide snacks and water. Also, Bartolome was the best boat (big and not too bumpy, we even got to sit on the front!) but it was our least favorite tour. We just felt the "hike" was overrated and the viewpoint is beautiful, sure, but we would rather be snorkelling with animals or lounging on the beach! We did have time to snorkel but it was a shorter session since the hike is the main attraction, and there isn't as much to see in the water around that area. Pinzon was the BEST snorkelling (hello baby sea lions!) and Santa Fe was also surreal! Don't get stuck in the trap of "are all these tours going to be the same?"...they're NOT. We only had 4 full days with 3 boat tours with BeGalapagos, thinking we would want a chill day to not be on a boat, but found ourselves texting them asking if they had room on a boat for our 4th day. DEFINITELY plan ahead for sea sickness - even people on our tour who claimed they don't get sea sick were struggling. The over the counter herbal patches DON'T WORK. Take dramamine 20 minutes before you get on and you'll be fine. I was hurling the entire very bumpy ride to Pinzon on day 1 hoping the patches would hold me - it was miserable. Was more proactive on the following days with dramamine and the under-the-tounge nausea reducer as needed and was totally fine! This is coming from someone who gets bad motion sickness: I promise, it's still worth it. Just be proactive! Such an amazing trip and an amazing company! Thank you BeGalapagos!

This was a good tour, albeit disappointing. We snorkeled twice. I get a little claustrophobic while snorkeling, and when I hit my limit, our guide did a great job of checking in on me and making sure I felt comfortable. When I didn't, she allowed me to hold on to the buoy and dragged me around so that I could still enjoy the experience. The fishing demo was fun as well. We caught and released three huge tunas. That was my first time experiencing deep-sea fishing, so it was fantastic. The disappointing part of the tour was that we didn't do any land excursions. The description of the tour stated that we would step ashore at La Fe Islet and that we would have a guided walk on Pinzon. It was advertised that during these walks we would have a chance to explore the marine and bird life as well as the unique flora and fauna. THAT is why I paid for this tour, not the snorkeling. I really wanted to at least attempt to see blue-footed boobies. To me, the snorkeling was just extra. We snorkeled at the places where we should have been able to go ashore, so the weather was not a reason that we could not have made the land excursions. As a result, I was very disappointed in this tour because it was not in the least bit inexpensive, and I felt like I didn't receive what I was promised.
Galapagos Day Tour - VeShannah x 1
Dear VeShannah, thank you for your feedback. It helps us improve and provide the best possible service to our clients. We are glad you enjoyed your tour. Regarding the activities and tour description, it's important to remember that everything is nature in its wild state, and we cannot guarantee that you will see everything. Blue-footed boobies have colonies in specific locations, such as North Seymour Island, and even there, they are sometimes not seen. On the Pinzón and La Fe tour, which is a snorkeling and fishing tour, the short visit depends on the tide, which is determined by the guide and captain. It is only 10 minutes long at La Fe Islet. At Pinzón Islet, there is no area for walking, as it is a rock in the middle of the sea, only suitable for snorkeling. This doesn't excuse the lack of a shore visit, but it often happens that landing is not possible because the tide is too low and dangerous. These details will be taken into account for future sales, and we hope you enjoyed your trip to the Galapagos. Thank you for your trust. Liz.

I can highly recommend this travel agency. I got the contacts by the Cucuve hotel and that was the best thing that could have happened to me. I booked the Seymour tour with her as well as Pinzon and the 360 tour. All the tours were just fantastic. Nice boats and perfect hikes and snorkeling. My special thanks go to Richard Perez (Pinzon tour guide), Pepe Vilalba (Seymour tour guide) and Nicolas Balón (360 tour guide). They all do their jobs with passion. I also booked ferry transfers and had a couple of questions. No matter what time I asked, I immediately got answers, even in the middle of the night. Thank you Liz for all your help and support.
