Dagstur til San Cristobal Island med privat landtur og snorkling
Beskrivelse
Denne tur giver dig mulighed for at lære Galapagos hovedstad at kende: San Cristobal Island og dens smukke steder på kun én dag; du vil ikke kun komme til at se tonsvis af søløver og mange søløvebabyer, men også mange havfugle, havleguaner, havskildpadder, tropiske fisk, hajer og endnu flere søløver. Desuden vil du komme til at se smukke landskaber med krystalklart turkis vand og den ikoniske Kicker Rock. Denne tur er den perfekte kombination af land og vand, da du under snorkelaktiviteten vil lære det rigelige dyreliv at kende under vandet, mens tre steder (Punta Carola, Tijeretas og La Loberia) giver dig mulighed for at komme til de smukkeste steder, arter og landskaber San Cristobal har at tilbyde på land også. Turen inkluderer også en meget god frokostmenu, og du vil blive forsynet med snorkeludstyr og våddragter af høj kvalitet. Bemærk venligst, at den eneste måde at komme til San Cristobal på er med OFFENTLIG SPEEDBÅD - selvfølgelig er de sikre, men på hårdt hav kan det blive hakket!

Rejseplan
Ved Puerto Ayoras mole før din speedbåd kunne du observere en række forskellige fugle, der fisker, små hajer eller søløver hvilende på de offentlige sæder. Efter speedbådsturen går du fra borde ved molen på San Cristobal Island, Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. Det er hovedstaden i øgruppen Galápagos, og det er stedet med den mest rigelige bestand af søløver på hele Galapagos – de er bogstaveligt talt overalt; på gaderne, på bredderne, på strandene, overalt. Dette er grunden til, at San Cristobal er den perfekte ø til at se nyligt fødte søløver på en af de strande, du vil besøge under denne tur.
Din private landtur begynder med en dejlig gåtur på ca. 25 minutter gennem endemisk og indfødt vegetation, der fører dig til en fantastisk smuk koralstrand, hvor du vil være i stand til at observere mange nyfødte havløver babyer, på stranden og lege i vandet samt sally lysfod krabber, lava harons og pelikaner. Den rækkefølge af de forskellige besøgende steder kan også være den modsatte, vi altid tjekke tidevandet og organisere turen i overensstemmelse hermed, så du vil få de bedst mulige betingelser for snorkling. Dette er det perfekte sted at tage det perfekte billede af en baby havløver, og hvis du vil, kan du allerede gøre den første snorkel aktivitet fra denne smukke strand.
Fra Punta Carola vil din guide ledsage dig på en jævn sti (sten og sand - ca. 25 minutters vågnetid) til "Las Tijeretas", der passerer gennem forskellige spektakulære udsigtspunkter, hvor ud over de mange fregattfugle (dette er hvor navnet på dette sted kommer fra, da deres historier er formet som en saks - tijeretas på spansk) og sluger tail guls samt nazca boobies, blåfødte boobies og marine iguanas får du en fantastisk udsigt over det unikke landskab lavet af en smuk bugt med turkis, krystalklart vand og den berømte Kicker Rock (Leon Dormido) i baggrunden. Denne unikke bugt er også stedet, hvor snorkelaktiviteten vil finde sted; din guide vil føre dig til de bedste skjulte steder for at finde legende seler, havskildpadder, stråler, tropiske fisk og ofte også hajer.
Efter frokost i en af de lokale restauranter, en privat bil vil tage dig til den sidste aktivitet for i dag: "La Loberia". Fra parkeringspladsen, vil du begynde at gå i omkring 15 - 20 minutter passerer gennem nogle små hvide strande med mangrover og store marine iguaner samt hermit krabber, indtil du ankommer til en fantastisk bugt med sort lava i kontrast tu krystalklart vand og en hvid sandstrand, kaldet La Loberia. Den store koloni af havløver, der indtager dette sted, er hvor navnet kommer fra; det er som en havløver børnehave, hvor det aldrig bliver kedeligt at observere de søde små havløver babyer, der sover på stranden, leger i vandet og kalder deres mødre tilbage fra at få mad. Udforske denne bugt lidt længere, vil du se masser af havfugle: Swallow-tailed gule, nazca boobies, pelikaner samt store blå harons.

Look no further this trip to San Cristobal was the ultimate snorkel experience. We did this tour our first full day in the Galapagos and I worry that nothing will top it. David had us come the evening before when we arrived to fit us for gear and was very informative on every step the next day. On the day of the trip we took the ferry to San Cristobal and met Omar who took us around to different snorkel spots. It crossed my mind that maybe I could have done this on my own for less but Omar grew up on the island and was so informative- he knew exactly where to go and lead us through land and water. The current can be strong and I felt so much better with him out in the water pointing things out to us. THE ANIMALS! It was a dream- we saw turtles, many schools of fish, underwater iguana, and more sea lions then I could have imagined. They are so playful and come look at you with their big brown eyes- they wanted to interact and at points I was surrounded with them playing and swimming all around. To top it off Lunch after was really delicious at a nice restaurant hotel overlooking the water. I could not recommend this tour more!
Amazing!!!, organized, on time. Our guide David was was very professional and knowledgeable, lunch was delicious. All together trip was very enjoyable
We had the best experience on this tour to San Cristobal. Omar met us early in the morning at the dock with our snorkeling gear and escorted us on the water taxi to the ferry to San Cristobal. A 2-hour ride got us to the island where we were met by our guide, David, who took us on multiple hikes and snorkeling adventures around Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. When snorkeling, we swam with seals, sharks, sea turtles, and tons of colorful fish. The beaches and docks are teeming with seals (including pups), and we also saw blue-footed boobies and frigate birds. Afterwards, we had a pre-arranged lunch with David before departingu back to Santa Cruz around 3 (arriving around 5). It was a terrific day, and David was an amazing and gracious guide. Great service all around by the Guiding Galapagos team and an unforgettable day!
Tour arrangements was excellent. We got reserved top deck seats in the speed boat to and from San Cristobal. Guide was very nice and covered the route in the tour description. Snorkeled in two different locations. Lunch was so good and it was a clean cozy restaurant with ocean view. Saw the Kicker rock from far away. (If you want to see kicker rock up close, needs to spend at least overnight at San Cristobal as kicker rock tours starts at 8am) Tour Company escorted us to and from the speed boat and they were very nice. Highly recommend if you need a day tour to San Cristobal from Santa Cruz.
We had a great day out with our guide David who was fantastic and knew loads about the wildlife. Very safe and helpful when snorkelling, we saw turtles, lots of fish, sea lions and an eagle ray; amazing experience. Nice lunch at local restaurant with fresh tuna and fruit. Saw more sea lions and did hikes up to viewpoints. Great day out.
We had an excellent tour day on San Cristobal Island and enjoyed seeing the 3 different beaches. By far the best snorkelling was at Loberia Beach with curious sea lions, diving boobies and a few turtles! Take plenty of sunscreen as the hikes to each of the beaches are in full sun! It's a 2h ride from Puerto Ayora which was long but comfortable, and we saw dolphins on the way home. Lunch was amazing at the Miconia Restaurant!
I used Guiding Galapagos for several excursions and consistently found them to be honest, transparent, and very reasonable about what could be provided. They truly went above and beyond my expectations. Like another reviewer mentioned, they were especially helpful in arranging good seating on the boat, which made a big difference during a two-hour ride. They set clear expectations, kept me well informed about the schedule, and communicated efficiently through WhatsApp, which I really appreciated while traveling. I highly recommend this company for anyone planning excursions in the Galápagos.
David was such a wonderful tour guide! You can tell he loves and appreciates wildlife and truly cares about your experience in the water. The food was an added bonus! Highly recommend! We went in early December and had wonderful weather.
The tour was fantastic, spectacular, exceptional. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. We are recommending this tour deeply
This excursion was the highlight of our Island trip. Guiding Galapagos did a wonderful job of taking care of us, from beginning to end. Helping to ensure us a good placement on the boat to handle a two hour boat ride (we are land-locked people with little experience on the open ocean). Our Island guide, David, is passionate and so very knowledgable. He truly helped enhance our awareness of the protective measures and conservation in place. Our snorkelling experience was truly epic. Sea lions played all around us, too bad we can't upload videos because it was truly a once in a lifetime experience.
