Pinzon-eiland en snorkeldag naar La Fe
Beschrijving
Vaak beschouwd als de beste plek om te snorkelen en een eiland dat u niet mag missen! Deze reis is een onvergetelijke snorkelervaring waarbij u een grote kans heeft om zeeschildpadden, zeeleeuwen, roggen, witpunthaaien en rifvissen te zien in het kristalheldere water. Soms kun je zelfs pinguïns zien! De hoofdactiviteit is snorkelen, maar u kunt tijdens deze trip ook vissen als de omstandigheden het toelaten en als iedereen aan boord mee wil doen. U kiest zelf wat u met uw vangst doet: u zet de vis terug in zee of u laat hem door onze chef-kok aan boord bereiden! Wij zijn Ninfa Tour, een lokale touroperator op de Galapagoseilanden die u lokale prijzen kan aanbieden (dezelfde als wanneer u de tour in de stad zou boeken). Wij zijn er trots op dat we al 40 jaar rondleidingen organiseren en dat we aan meer dan 100.000 tevreden klanten rondleidingen hebben gegeven!

I highly recommend this tour mainly for how incredible the snorkeling experience is! We had very favorable weather and the water was clear and we were able to see so many fish, sharks, playful sea lions, and even a huge manta ray! The guide and boat crew were very friendly and kept everyone engaged and having fun. Highly recommend this tour if you are primarily interested in snorkeling. As others have mentioned, there is a small fishing demonstration while on the way back to port, but it isn’t what this tour is known for and is really just a secondary fun thing to witness while relaxing on the way back. All in all, worth every penny just for the all day, multiple location snorkel experience.

I am so pleased to hear that you had a wonderful day on this tour and that you had such a good experience with the incredible wildlife on offer in Pinzon. I will also be sure to pass your feedback on to the crew that worked on your tour so thank you for highlighting this
Ricardo is an excellent guide. I saw a shark and multiple sting rays thanks to him! Overall good experience.

We pride ourselves on the service that we provide, so this means a lot to us! I'm glad that you got to fully experience the incredible wildlife on offer and I hope that this was a tour you won't ever forget!
My family (15 and 16 yo kids and husband) and I did two full day snorkeling tours with this company and this was my favorite of the two because we saw so many animals. The boat was comfortable, not luxurious. We swam with large, mostly sleeping sharks and sea lions. The sea turtles were massive and numerous! The food was fine. The guide (Marco) was knowledgeable and friendly.
Thank you so much for your kind words and review, we are so pleased to hear that you were able to have some great experiences with the wildlife, the turtles are always so popular! I will be sure to pass on your feedback to Marco too
I loved this day!! It was one of my favorite experiences. We saw turtles, thousands of fish, white tipped reef sharks, seals and pups, an octopus…it was amazing. If you like to prove what you saw, make your go pro works! lol The food was fantastic, met some great people from around the world, and the weather was gorgeous…just an all around amazing day!
Thank you so much for this lovely feedback! We are so lucky to have such incredible wildlife to take our passengers too and I am so pleased that you enjoyed getting to see so much marine life! I will also pass on your kind words about the meal, we really pride ourselves on providing a complete service to make sure each tour is as close to being perfect as possible, and reviews such as this mean the world to us and help inspire more people to follow in your footsteps. Thank you for booking with Ninfa Tour and we are so pleased that we were able to give you a day as great as this!
We decided to take this trip because of the amazing reviews we read and because the price was a lot better compared to other tours advertised here in Trip Advisor. The tour was absolutely INCREDIBLE! We saw so many animals especially sharks and turtles. The food was really tasty and the boat was fantastic, everything was very clean and new. There were a couple of boats nearby doing the same tour and we could tell our boat was the best one in terms of conditions and space so we were very happy with our decision. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much Andy for your kind words. We are so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed the tour to Pinzon. We really pride ourselves on not only the service we provide, but also on our equipment and the overall experience we provide our passengers. We are so lucky to operate in such a unique and special location and we always strive to provide the best and most memorable service as possible! Thank you for trusting Ninfa and we hope to see you again one day!
We really enjoyed our experience on this tour. Our tour guide Grace, was very helpful and enthusiastic. She explained to us how to safely interact in our environment, so we wouldn't disturb the marine life too much. The snorkels, flippers and wet suits were provided. There were enough wetsuits to go around for us to even double up which was great, as the water was cold enough. The lunch and snacks provided were very good and filling. There was even hot drinks, like coffee and tea. During the snorkel, we saw lots of beautiful marine life, from parrot fish, to lots of white tip sharks, a good few sea turtles and sealions. We even got to see an eagle sting ray, which our guide told us was rare. We snorkeled in two places, off Pinzon and Le Fa. First part of the snorkel was 1:30hr and the other was 45 mins. We found this to be plenty of time in the water. The boat ride out was 1hr and 45mins. Getting in and out takes up most of the time on the tour, but you get to see beautiful views of Santa Cruz island on the boat journey out. Overall, very good value for money.
Hi Jessica and thank you so much for your kind words, I am so glad to hear how much you enjoyed the tour! Firstly, I will be sure to pass on your lovely words about Grace. We pride ourselves on the service that we provide, from our staff to equipment and food and drink so I am so pleased to hear you enjoyed it all. I'm glad that you were able to see plenty of marine life which we are so lucky to have and love to share with passengers such as yourself. Thank you once again for booking with Ninfa and wishing you all the best
I was very excited to be part of this snorkeling tour, but unfortunately, the experience did not live up to my expectations. First of all, the departure was not on schedule, which gave the impression of disorganization from the beginning. Once in the water, I would have liked to take the time to observe the fish, corals and underwater landscapes quietly, but this was not possible. The guide constantly urged us to go from one point to another, without letting us really enjoy the moment. This has made hasty exploration almost forced, when this type of activity should invite contemplation. Moreover, the attitude of the guide did not promote a relaxed Mood: he was visibly stressed, unwarm, and gave his instructions in a rather abrupt, almost military manner. The boat’s crew members were in the same mood: unsmiling, uncommunicative, which affected the overall Mood. Another major disappointment was that the announced programme was not respected. It was planned to visit two islands, but we only saw one. Also, the return was supposed to be at 6pm, but we returned at 3pm, without any explanation. Having said that, I would like to highlight two positive points: the equipment provided was of good quality, well maintained, which is always reassuring for this type of activity. The meal served on board was also very good, which brought some comfort in a day overall half-hearted. In short, this snorkeling trip could have been a great experience, but it suffered from a lack of organization, too tense Mood and a program not respected. Too bad, because the natural setting was beautiful.
Hi Laurie, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback, and for choosing to travel with Ninfa. We truly value hearing from our guests, as it helps us continually improve our experiences. Following an internal review of your comments, I wanted to provide some clarification and context regarding your concerns: - Tour Duration: The tour is advertised as a 7-hour experience, beginning at 8:00 AM and concluding around 3:00 PM. This schedule was followed on the day of your tour, and we do not advertise a 6:00 PM finish time. - Departure Time: I’ve double-checked the records, and the tour departed just a few minutes later than scheduled on the day you travelled. - Wildlife Interaction: I’ve spoken with your guide regarding the interaction with the turtles. He mentioned that he respectfully asked several times not to approach or enter the feeding area, as this is strictly prohibited by the Galapagos National Park to protect the species and their habitat. When the requests weren’t followed, he felt it necessary to be firmer. That said, we’ve addressed this internally and passed your feedback on to the guide, as we take these matters seriously and always strive to ensure respectful and informative communication. - Island Visit: This particular tour includes a visit to one island—Pinzón—with a stop an additional site (La Fe / Las Palmas) depending on weather and seasonal conditions. Both locations are within Santa Cruz, and I can confirm that La Fe, one of the advertised points, was included in your itinerary. I’m truly sorry to hear that the experience didn’t meet your expectations. I hope the above clarifications help provide a better understanding of the day’s events. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future under more enjoyable circumstances.
This tour was so much fun! We saw huge tortoises, a seal swam by, some white tipped reef sharks, sting rays...just a lot of cool stuff. They caught a yellow fin tuna for lunch and cooked it while we were snorkeling. The water was COLD! Thank goodness they provided wet suits! Highly recommend!
Hi Nicole, we are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the Pinzon island tour! We are truly blessed with the wildlife here and I'm delighted to hear that you made some great memories. Glad the wetsuits came in handy too!
It was very organized, the snorkeling locations were amazing. Saw a lot of fish, turtles, and a few reef sharks! The guide was very informative. Lunch and the snacks were tasty. The crew was friendly. 10/10 would recommend.
Thank you so much for your kind words, I am so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that you saw some of the great wildlife that Pinzon has to offer! Thank you for trusting Ninfa to give you this opportunity, I hope it is a memory that stays with you forever!
This tour was AMAZING! We enjoyed the whole tour. The food was excellent and the fish very fresh. We saw many animals like sea turtles, sea iguanas, sharks and sea lions. Thank you to all the crew for this phenomenal experience!
