The Tour is highly recommended. 8 hours with lunch on the boat Many birds and fish of infinite colors can be seen. The only thing, be careful with the countercurrent of the sea, it is rough many times that is why I recommend dramamine or something against nausea and vomiting
We did not want to do a big cruise and so we used Galapagos a-la Cart to schedule all our tours and transfers from the islands. We were very pleased with the care, detail, and personal customer service from the beginning to the end of our trip they provided. Byron (owner) searched for the availability of all the trips offered in Santa Cruz and Isabela and got back to us in one day with excellent choices. Super helpful in booking all our transfers as well as sending someone to help us get our tickets and make sure we were on the right boat. I would highly recommend Galapagos Ala Cart to help organize land and boat tours on the islands. Overall we had a great trip thanks to Galapagos Ala Cart!
Byron assisted with planning all of our tour stops and they were all excellent choices. On our trip to North Seymour we did an island stop and walked about to see so many birds and iguanas with a knowledge guide. We even saw a baby blue footed booby and many Magnificent Frigates. A nice lunch was served on board that was fish and vegetables. The crew was very attentive. The last stop was a snorkel stop and the water was so refreshing and clear.
We booked two day trips through Galapagos a-la-carte; one to Santa Fe and the other to South Plaza. We were really impressed with the professionalism, from booking to the food to the guide to the safety on the boat. Alex and I are vegan and don't eat wheat, and our meal on board was excellent. In fact, far, far better than we have come to expect. As this company is a-la-carte, they will help you tailor your trip and dreams! Contact this amazing agency and let them help you like they helped us! Thanks to Maria Antonieta and Byron for making sure that this was the experience of a lifetime. We highly recommend this professional, friendly and helpful company. Highly, highly recommended. Thanks a million, Ombi &Alex
I just didnt want to do the big cruise for my trip so did a lot of day trips and this might have been my favorite. The crew and guide on the boat were outstanding and could not have been nicer (throw a tip in the box after). The people are capped at 15 (ish) and there is plenty of room on the boat to move around. The beach that you wet land on (sport sandals is the way to go cuz you do walk down a rocky path after) is packed (at least when I was there) with sea lions. There were adults, babies, and one monster alpha patrolling the bay. Keep your 2 meter distance and you're good, but they are like dogs and the babies are puppies and they will chase you a bit. It was so amazing. You spend a nice bit of time on the beach. After you walk through a path on the island. We saw plenty of iguanas (marine and Santa Fe, specific to the island), sea lions and even a hawk. The rock walk gives you gorgeous views of the island and surrounding islands, bays, etc. All post card quality shots. After the island time you gear up and snorkel for an hour or so. I was in trunks and a rash guard, water temp 77ish, no problem. Fish, rays, turtles, and sharks....so great. After you get fed a nice meal and then get a nice pretty ride back to Santa Cruz. This is a must do.
