Reisroute
De tour begint om 07.30 uur bij het kantoor van het lokale bureau in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno op het eiland San Cristobal. Als de hele groep (maximaal 10 reizigers + 1 gids) bij elkaar is, ga je naar de pier. Je gaat aan boord van de Hammerhead en het avontuur begint!
Kicker Rock-snorkel - De eerste stop is een van de onbewoonde eilanden van de Galapagos: Kicker Rock. De gids geeft je de snorkeluitrusting en basisveiligheidsinstructies, en daar ga je, eenden! Geniet van een spectaculaire ochtend snorkelen bij Kicker Rock tussen schildpadden en hamerhaaien.
Bahia Rosa Blanca - Je meert aan bij Bahia Rosa Blanca, waar een tweede snorkelsessie op je wacht in het kristalheldere water van San Cristobal. Zeeschildpadden, roggen en octopussen wachten op je. In geval van harde wind of sterke golven waardoor u de baai van Rosa Blanca niet kunt bereiken, vindt de activiteit plaats in Playa del Muerto.
Cerro Brujo - Sardinebaai - Je stapt weer op de boot en vaart langs de Cerro Brujo die je naar de baai van Sardina brengt. Hier kunt u genieten van enkele ontspannende momenten tussen het witte zand en de zeeleeuwen. U zult genieten van een heerlijke lunch die bij de rondleiding aan boord van het jacht is inbegrepen.
Punta Pitt - Ervaringsvissen Galapagos - Je stapt weer op de boot voor een ervaringsgerichte visactiviteit. Let op de aanwijzingen van de gids, die alle geheimen kent van het vissen in het kristalheldere water van de Galapagoseilanden.
Keer terug naar Puerto Baquerizo Moreno - Het is tijd om terug te gaan naar Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. Onderweg geniet je van een kleine snack van lokaal fruit met de zeebries op de achtergrond. Rond 16.00 uur bent u terug op het plaatselijke kantoor van het agentschap

The tour was ok. The booking agent in San Cristobal isn’t the activity provider. The weather wasn’t good.
Yuegan, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the weather conditions didn’t allow for the best possible experience. We are glad you enjoyed the tour and we expect to see you again! Best regards. Howlanders team.
Alejandro was an excellent guide and so fun! While snorkeling we saw hammerhead sharks, sea turtles, rays, and all kinds of beautiful fish. Fantastic day trip from San Cristobal!

The ocean was rough and the boat stopped to fish where we just bobbed and spun around making it a very uncomfortable experience. When we got to kicker rock the visibility was poor
Thank you for sharing your feedback about the San Cristobal Galapagos 360 – Kicker Rock snorkeling tour. We’re truly sorry to hear that the sea conditions were rough during your trip and that this affected your comfort on board and the visibility at Kicker Rock. The ocean around the Galápagos can be very changeable, and unfortunately, conditions like swell and currents can sometimes impact both navigation and snorkeling experience. We also appreciate your comment regarding the stop while fishing and the time spent waiting on the boat. We understand how this may have felt uncomfortable, especially in choppy waters, and we will share your feedback with the local operator so it can be reviewed. Despite this, we hope you were still able to appreciate the uniqueness of Kicker Rock and its wildlife when conditions allowed. Thank you again for your honesty—it helps us improve the experience for future travelers. Warm regards, Howlanders Team
Was a great tour with several snorkeling spots and beautiful remote beaches. Guide was great and they fed us well with snacks and lunch. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is the tour description mentioned we would be fishing for an hour and my son was very much looking forward to that activity - it was not part of the tour. I would recommend that the description be updated so that it is accurate and to avoid disappointment.
Hola, Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the snorkeling spots, remote beaches, and that your guide took good care of you with snacks and lunch. We sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding the fishing activity. Your suggestion to update the tour description is very helpful, and we’ll make sure it’s clarified to avoid any future misunderstandings. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another amazing experience in the Galapagos Islands. Best regards, Howlanders Team
This tour was not as advertised and as a whole very disappointing from the provider to the boat and the crew. 1st of all, the group size is anything but small. 12 participants plus 3 crew and 1 guide. That's standard for all 360 tours, so immediately don't book this tour because of the "small group" advertising. 2nd, if not enough participants book with eco challenger / hammerhead, you will be bumped to a misfit boat with multiple tour companies combining, so don't book this for the boat advertised. 3rd the boat we were put on was disgraceful, between no comfortable seating outside and the constant yelling to sit on a particular side (for weight? This wasn't an issue on any other charters). 4th the "chef" on board cut some fruit and provided some store bought snacks, not nearly enough for what you want after snorkeling. The lunch was grilled meat that different companies has offered different options and led to a lot of confusion. Overall just a lack of food, certainly don't book expecting something special. Being your own snacks. 5th the attitude of the crew and especially the guide was very much disinterested and unhelpful, they know you won't be back so they don't even put in bare minimum. Questions were ignored, communication was mid and overall left us confused a lot of the time. 6th the tour operator acts similarly to the tour guide, no care for repeat business and does below minimum standard (we had $30USD cruises that gave better instructions). Make sure you pack a pair of shoes you're happy to get wet, as you'll need for a WET landing and then hike over lava rock. Bring your own towel as well, only one is provided right at the end. 7th the time at the stops is really disjointed, spending more time at the less exciting and known spots then a very short amount of time where you want longer. We spent less than 30 minutes at kicker rock... Overall, this tour had spectacular wildlife and scenery, but I strongly urge you to find a cheaper operator who will give you an equal experience, this one was nothing special and honestly let us down. Once you're in San Cristobal, you'll find numerous operators offering a 360 tour, walk around and barter for a best price, we certainly wish we did.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the tour didn’t meet your expectations. We take your comments seriously regarding group size, boat assignment, and service, and will review them with our team. Please contact us via chat so we can discuss your experience further and address your concerns. Kind regards, Howlanders Team

Had a fantastic day with the tour. The Weather was on and off nice but got to see all of the animals I wanted to see. The GoPro videos were unbelievable as well.
