Overpriced, at least ×3. If the weather is bad (the same goes for the waves), You get nothing out of it (visiting one beach in general for swimming is half of the whole programme). Going to the island with beautiful birds should be a catch, but You can not have any closer photo of them because the guide doesn't allow You to do that. Swimming on sandy beach and snorkelling You can do on Your own for free, not paying for that 320 euros. Lunch on the boat basic, pasta salad and filet of fish in the sauce (cookies with coffee are dry supermarket cookies, again reminding that You pay 320 euros for that trip). If You forget anything on the boat, guys will not warn You (probably take stuff for themselves later). In general, bad and over too much expensive experience. Btw, instead of 9 hours programme it was 7 hours programme (being late in the departure for one hour, finished around 4pm). Nobody replied on e mails regarding the exact pick up/starting location for long 48 hours, they have made a contact at 10:30pm in the evening prior to the trip next morning (You should start it between 7am and 7:30am the next day). Skip it, my sincere recommendation
We sincerely regret that your experience did not meet your expectations. We have taken note of your complaints about communication and schedules in order to improve our internal processes. We would like to clarify that restrictions on proximity to wildlife are mandatory National Park regulations for the conservation of the ecosystem. Regarding the menu, we offer light options for safety reasons, as a heavy meal would significantly increase the risk of dizziness and discomfort due to the movement of the boat. Our crew maintains high standards of integrity; if you forgot something on board, please contact us to check if it has been recovered. We appreciate your comments, as they help us evaluate the value for money of our service.
The tour required traveling for a long time to get to the destination but at the end all of it was worth it. The male frigate birds with their red pouches blown up, dolphins and bonus of catching a group of pilot whales were the highlight of the tour. The guide was knowledgeable and explained the fragile ecosystem of North Seymour island in great detail.
“How incredible that you got to see a group of pilot whales! They don't always show themselves, so it was a magical surprise. We are very pleased to know that, despite the distance, the island's biodiversity and the work of our guide met your expectations. Thank you for choosing us to explore the Galapagos!”
We saw couple sea lions families on the island. The babies sea lions are learning from their parents around the shore area. We also see various type of birds on the islands including, blue leg birds and lagoons. Our tour guide is knowledgeable. He showed us where to see the animals.
We were on the Galaxy with very good crew and guide. It is an absolutely recommended excursion on which you can see a lot of the animals up close. It was only slightly cloudy, as we went snorkeling after the tour at 12.30pm and lunch was not scheduled until around 2pm. We have been at the Galaxy with a very good Crew and guide. Absolutely a recommendation, you see all the local wildlife with very short distance. A little bit less perfect that after return of the expedition 12.30h a snorkeling excursion was planned and lunch was scheduled close to 14h.
Hi Andrea! We are glad you had a good time, hopefully we see you again soon!
The tour operator cancelled it two days before By all accounts we didn’t miss much we hadn’t already seen though
None , very disappointed that they cancelled it two days before ! They didn’t want to go Said not enough numbers but we offered to take more from our group Didn’t get a response!
Hello Chris, We sent you a message on March 31st enquiring if you could to this tour on the 7th, but we didn't receive any reply from you until we reached back 4 days later waiting for an answer and told you that the minimun number of passengers was not reached (we need a minium of approximately 10 people, so adding your 3 friends was still not possible to acommodate. Our tours are 100% refundable until 24 hours before the tour, and we told you to proceed with it on time. Either way, we later told you to request the refund and we approved it right away because of the inconvenience. We hope you still had a good time in Galápagos!
We had a great time hiking around Seymour Island and saw quite a few animals up close. Our guide gave us tips to take a great picture. We also loved snorkeling at the beach and saw a sea turtle on the beach then snorkeled with it close by. The beach was beautiful. The crew on the boat takes great care of you and the snacks and lunch were delicious
Hi Ryan! Thank you for your review, we are so glad you enjoyed this trip & hopefully we see you again soon :)
A great mix of nature and snorkeling. The captain and guide were great. We were able to tour the island and then cool off on a beach and swim with sea lions! And then the snorkeling was pretty good too.
Thanks for sharing your experience Calvin! We are so happy that you enjoyed and live the "Galapagos experience" Best regards
<p>Great tour but difficult confirming timing and getting information once we were in the Galapagos. It made for a less than perfect planning experience. Once we were headed on the trip all went well and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Many of the other excursions had wet suits available to rent on board, ours did not but there was no way to know this in advance. More info needs to be communicated to customers.</p>
