Santa Fe Island & Playa Escondida Snorkeling Day Trip
Beautiful Galapagos snorkeling tour
The tour ended up being between 8-9 hours, so we got lots of time for snorkeling and relaxing at hidden beach. The water was really clear and we got to see tropical parrot fish, lots of seals, and even a couple of sharks. At one point we saw about 40 dolphins playing with the boat. As a bonus, the lunch was delicious and we had a really friendly group on the tour.

Day tour to San Cristobal Island with private Land Tour and snorkeling
A great tour!
Booking was simple and online. We had to visit the office the evening before our trip for a briefing and fitting of fins etc - this wasn't clearly explained, but luckily we arrived to confirm meeting time and place. The actual tour was very enjoyable. We had a guide who was very friendly and knowledgeable. We saw lots of marine, land and air wildlife, so lots of ticks in my book! Lunch was excellent! The only criticism was that our guide strode out in front when we were walking to different places. It would have been more enjoyable had he walked at our pace and explained what we were seeing as we walked.
