Ricardo was a great guide. We were able to spot a group of penguins while kayaking as well as some other wildlife but the highlight for us was snorkeling at Concha Perla. While you do not need a guide to snorkel here I don’t think we would have seen a fraction of what we did had we not been with Ricardo, he seemed to know all the spots to find the animals. We spotted a sea lion, turtles, sharks, rays, and even an octopus!
5 stars. What a beautiful and amazing tour! Our guide took us on a wonderful and safe tour of sharks, penguins, marine iguanas, and sea lions. Our guide was a wealth of information and very friendly--he picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel which was very convenient. Our snorkeling portion in Concha Perla was a great end to our trip, we got to snorkel in a very safe area with all kinds of colorful fish, rays, and sea lions. Our guide also gave us an amazing recommendation to snorkel in a beautiful narrow channel where nobody else was snorkeling (lots of locals in this area) and was a hidden gem of beauty. I would highly recommend this tour in the Galapagos.
This was a good hike for us but not for those looking for a relaxing day hike. It was hot and requires a decent level of fitness. The guide explained a lot about the area, the lava and culture of the islands which we appreciated.
