Not a ton to see on our day. Probably varies based on day to day. Lunch was ok. We did a tour a few days later and the boat was more comfortable.
Photos Don’t Totally Match the Tour, But Snorkeling Was Excellent

While the photos of this tour were somewhat misleading, they gave the impression that a short hiking excursion to see birds was included, this was not the case. The tour was entirely boat-based, with no walking or land exploration. That said, our guide Ricardo was outstanding during both snorkeling experiences. He ensured everyone’s safety and kept us together as a group. He also pointed out a wide variety of marine life, including fish, sharks, sea turtles, seals, and stingrays. The lunch provided was delicious, featuring freshly caught fish.
A Great time

This was an AMAZING trip! Starting with the great men who met us and helped us get organized- Omar and Felipe! The boat ride was fast and smooth and the food on board was excellent. As soon and we jumped into the water we saw Blue-Footed Boobies and a sea lion swam by. We were able to see tons of fish and had a smooth snorkeling experience. We were unable to see any sharks, but that not for lack of trying. I would highly recommend this tour and for sure recommend Guiding Galapagos for any of your tour needs!

Unfortuantely I cannot rate the actual excursion as I was traveling with my father and he injured his knee requiring us to leave Ecuador before this tour. What I can review is the AMAZING customer service of Guiding Galapagos Expeditions! The tour was non refundable, but I reached out to the operator to see if there were any exemptions due to medical reasons. They helped me through the entire process even when Viator was not willing to budge on their end. Stephanie showed us such kindess and if that is any reflection on how the rest of the company operates then I know this must be an amazing tour.
