We had a difficult time finding the pickup point. We were giving two different points to meet one from the app and one from a message from the provider to meet Henry at a different location. To the best of my knowledge neither Henry or the location exist. I messaged back to the operator to verify the location and did not get a response. We found it with the help of a local tour office, but no one knew who Henry was, including the people of the pier. Fortunately a lady appeared with a clipboard that had our names on it. We were lead to believe we were going on a boat tour. This was a hiking and snorkling tour with a short boat ride across the harbor. It was a very nice tour, but I was unprepared and did not have my swim wear. The write up and communication for this tour needs to be fixed. The others in our group that booked through a local booking office did not have so much confusion and really enjoyed the trip. Our actual guide, Sergio was very good and very informative. He took us to some nice spots. We were also greated at the pier by sea lions and sea iguanas, which got us off to a good start.
Agradecemos mucho las recomendaciones, revisaremos a detalle la información que proporcionamos, para evitar confusiones
This tour takes to the places that can only be seen by boat. The tour is a bit less than 4 hours, but totally worth it. We were able to see and enjoy all of the listed points of interests, and learn about the reach history along the way.
It was really nice we saw blue footed boobies, lots of iguanas, crabs, lava lizards and some sharks.
The tour guide was excellent and the number of stops made/places seen for the cost of the tour was well worth it. So far this has been the best part of The Galapagos for us.
This was definitely one of the highlights of our holiday. The tour guide was very pleasant and invited questions throughout the tour. He translated everything from Spanish to English. I saw sea lions, boobies, and sharks. The sea lions even came close and swam with other tourists in the water. It is so lovely to see them in the wild, living their best lives. I wish wildlife so was respected everywhere. The sights were impressive! I was fearful of sea sickness but this was not an issue at all, Thank God. It was a fabulous day out. I highly recommend this tour.
Perfect day ! Perfect guide ! Thanks for all ! The tour was very interesting and we saw a lot of animals!
We appreciate you sharing your experience with us. Hearing that the Tour lived up to your expectations makes us really happy. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with us if you ever need our services again; we look forward to helping you!
Our guide was late to the pier, very confused. The trip is fantastic, truly. The so called "lunch" is more a snack: soda, a banana & cookies. Little details that one notices while being so far away from home. Galapagos is a paradise.
Dear Philip, We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the guide's tardiness and confusion. we´re delighted you enjoyed the fantastic trip in the beautiful Galapagos. Your feedback on the lunch is valuable, and we'll certainly use it to enhance our services. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you again.
We were looking for something that was good value for money on the Galapagos- not an easy task!! However we booked this and really enjoyed it. Two different snorkel sites and three walks, all accompanied by a great guide who helped us by translating to English. We paid $45 each. The tour included Las Grietas and the guide paid the entry fees as part of our price. For us it was good value for money and a really enjoyable afternoon.
Hello! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our Galapagos tour. We appreciate your positive feedback and look forward to welcoming you back for more adventures in the future.
We really enjoyed this tour of sites near Puerto Ayora. The naturalist guide was very informative and seemed genuinely interested in sharing his love of all the wonderful animals and plant life that make the Galapagos unique. We were delighted to get up close with huge male marine iguanas, resting black tip reef sharks and beautiful blue-footed boobies.
Hello! We are so glad to know you had a great time :) Galapagos is beautiful and we are happy you got to enjoy this trip with us. Hopefully we see you again soon!
The experience of swimming in the crevices is great but can be done without the need for excursion You take a taxi from the port to the Germans beach for $0.80 and then walk about 5' Save yourself the tour that makes you 20' snorkeling near the rocks
Hola! El tour que tomaste no solo comprende ir a las Grietas sino a otras locaciones más que no puedes hacer por tu cuenta. Esperamos poder servirte pronto! gracias por tomar el tour con nosotros!
