日帰りサンタフェとシュノーケリング付きプラヤエスコンディーダ

Everything was fine, but I didn't expect the Galapagos to be such a tourist destination. All visits are artificial.

I took this tour on aug 22. I had two previous tours in Galápagos the days before so I know how at minimum how a decent tour should be. First, we departed the dock an hour late. We were suppose to be picked up from our hotel however they were 30 min late and didn’t bother to communicate with us. I had to text the contact number for this agency who in turned contacted someone else who showed up in a taxi and dropped us off at another hotel. We waited another 20 mins there before being met by someone who took us to a snorkel shop then walked us to the dock. It was the most chaotic departure of any tour I had thus far in Galápagos. Second, I booked this tour in English. Everyone else on this tour spoke Spanish. This is fine, in my other tours the guide would speak in Spanish then translate to me after wards. This tour guide barely spoke to me, and the times he did was to only tell me about two animals. The conversations on the boat I was excluded from. The conversation during lunch when talking about the islands-I was also excluded from. I felt really sad and actually teared up on the boat. Third, the most important part was the fact that we did not go to playa escondida as per the second activity on the itinerary. I was very disappointed with this. If I knew this I would’ve booked a cheaper ticket to sante fe with any other company. Also, the experiential fishing did not happen. In all, this was the worse tour I had in Galápagos. It was disorganized, the tour guide excluded me (unlike all the other naturalist guides I had before), I was lied to because we did not fish or go to playa escondida.
