What To Expect

This tour takes you to one of the least populated islands in the Galapagos (only 140 inhabitants), yet one very rich in history (more than three movies talk about Floreana Island), offering insights into the origins of the archipelago and traces of its first inhabitants. On Floreana Island, you’ll uncover fascinating tales of pirates and early settlers. Highlights include visiting the historic Asilo de La Paz, exploring pirate caves, and marveling at mysterious stone carvings. You’ll also encounter incredible wildlife, such as giant tortoises and sea lions, the Christmas iguanas (color varies depending on the season), enjoy snorkeling in clear waters with many sea turtles and sea lions, and capture the island’s stunning landscapes. Floreana’s small, welcoming community adds a unique charm to this unforgettable experience and together with its remote locations, this definitely is a real off the beaten path experience.

Amazing experience with sea turtles!

I originally came to the Galápagos hoping to see sea turtles on a cruise boat. While everything on the cruise was beautiful and I could see many things, I was a little disappointed that I didn’t get to see any sea turtles (it had always been my dream to swim with them.) That’s why I decided to book this tour. I wanted the chance to snorkel with sea turtles and visit the famous black beach. I had the absolute best time on this tour!! The guide (Yazmany) was incredibly experienced and knowledgeable, and knew exactly where to go for the best underwater sights. It was very special to me to see all the amazing marine life, from sea turtles, huge marine iguanas, stingrays and many colourful fish. The people on board were extremely nice, we had delicious snacks, even saw dolphins on the way and the black beach is nothing short of amazing! All in all, this whole day was something I’ll never forget. If you’re looking for a unique adventure and a perfect day out on the water in the Galápagos learning from local experts, I can 100% recommend this tour to you!!
