It was an awesome experience. It lasts approximately 3 hours. You are in a small boat with capacity of approx. 13-16 passengers (not speed boat). Makes 3 stops: 1. Punta Estrada. A walk of 15 mins (one way) with rocky & uneven terrain to see a beautiful beach with black iguanas and 6 minute walk to see where baby shark rest. 2. Take the same boat ride just a little farther to snorkel (you can stay in the boat if you rather not). They provide the snorkeling equipment and life vests. Here is where you will see abundant sea life, fish, sea urchins, turtles and sometimes sea lions and blue-footed boobies - around 30-mins to an hour stop. 3. Take another 10 min boat ride to the Grietas where you have the option to wait at a restaurant or walk 10-15 mins (rocky & uneven terrain) to snorkel at the Grietas (you will see very few fish here). The water was extra cold and it’s super deep but cool to swim through it. Take care of your snorkeling gear through out the trip. The staff were super friendly and attentive. Few snacks (bananas and banana bread) and water/tea options are included with this purchase. Make sure you stay hydrated and have sunblock and hat but hang on to them if it’s windy. Overall, it was an awesome experience but one of the locals said this tour could be almost 1/2 as much cheaper if you ask around. Which made us sad to hear.
Lovely little tour I especially enjoyed Las Grietas- our guide was incredible and very patient. Plus it was one of the only tours I could book on Santa Cruz as a solo traveler with 0 upcharge. Would highly recommend.
Snorkeling in Las Grietas was the highlight of this excursion. Water was cold but the experience was really great! The guide was helpful but didn't seem to be that engaged with the whole group. The other snorkeling time was not so great. The sea life was minimal, most likely due to the warmer waters this time of year. Nothing you can really do about that as a tour operator. Overall, no regrets.
Beautiful saltwater pool that filters from the sea. Crystal clear water. Almost without fish. Fascinating but not overwhelming.
Good intro tour on your first/second day in the Galapagos. Our favorite part was snorkeling in Las Grietas (worth it just for this). Our guide was cooky which we loved and very knowledgeable as a native of the islands. The only dock of one star was that while he was very proficient in English, about 70% of what he said was in Spanish and not repeated again in English so we felt we missed a lot without being profficient Spanish speakers. Fair as we were the only ones on the boat who couldn't speak Spanish well but it did silghtly taint our experience.
Expect to swim, wear tennis shoes for a fairly long walk over rocks, excellent sights & an experienced guide that knows English & Spanish will explain everything
Wow we saw and experienced so much in this half day tour! Our guide and crew were wonderful and knowledgeable. Hiking and seeing marine iguanas and more was interesting. Snorkeling we saw many colorful fish, Galapagos sharks, white tip sharks, sea lions and more. Finishing the afternoon swimming in Las Grietas was a beautiful memory we won’t forget! One tip - wear decent hiking shoes
Great first tour, some wildlife, scientific explanations, nice scenery. Not the most spectacular, but if do a few in your stay, start with this one.
Your comment is very important to us, thanks
Great tour guide, fun snorkeling- everything as advertised. This price is the best you can get without being on the island - you can save $10 by being here, but for the convenience, this was well worth it. No worries if you are a bit late to your boat - they will get you on the next one out.
Best viewing of Blue footed Boobies during our trip. Also saw sharks in open snorkeling area and swim was very refreshing.
