5.00Amazing guide and tour. Sea lions were playful and swim around you. A must tour if your in the Galápagos! They have many tours and will take two more this week.
Sea lions, turtles, and sharks

5.00Everything was very well organized before the trip, with equipment fitting arranged the night before. Meeting and departure were on time. The expedition itself was fantastic. Or guide Sergio did a great job leading the group, explaining things and also pointing out all the animals. We saw huge numbers of sharks, sea turtles, and colorful fish, as well as some sea lions. All seen very close up. A perfect day. Would 10/10 repeat.

5.00My experience on the tour to Pinzon Island and Faith was wonderful, I really liked the Service by the people in charge, also that the tour is complete as it comes with food, suits and everything you need to be able to snorkel, both in the first stop and in the second offer you a spectacular view of the islands and all the marine fauna that can be found, it is definitely something that I would do again, thank you very much to Omar for resolving my doubts and explaining in detail everything I would do within the tour

5.00Blew away our expectations! The snorkelling, our guide, the lunch, everything was wonderful. Excellent excursion! Omar prepared us well, we appreciated the debrief the day before so we could ask questions. Meeting and taking us to and from the water taxis was wonderful service, it was so ensuring to know that he was there to make sure we got onto the correct taxis. Checking in with us upon our return to ensure we had a great experience demonstrated excellent professionalism.
Unique Experience!

5.00Felipe was responsible for explaining the excursion to us and escorting us to the transportation team. He met us a day in advance to explain the tour, answer our questions, and set out our snorkel gear. The gear was of excellent quality, we saw many different animals, the boat crew was attentive, and the food on board was excellent. We couldn't go to La Fe on our day, but we stayed longer in Pinzón to make up for it. We definitely recommend the tour!

3.00Not 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

5.00While 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

5.00This 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!
The most beautiful fish and snorkeling around!!

4.00This is a fantastic opportunity to see incredible fish of all sorts, sharks to starfish! We weren't able to do one spot because the weather didn't cooperate so they substituted another stop. It was still a bit rough, but all in all, great snorkeling. They caught one fish, but it was returned to the ocean because it was too small. The crew wasn't as English speaking as other tours we took, but more business like and efficient. They were very concerned about safety, too.
Great trip

5.00There is so much wildlife to see in the Galapagos and I think I saw most of it on this trip! Everything was smoothly handled by Omar in terms of the snorkel gear and making sure I got the boat okay. Our guide was really knowledgeable and knew where to find the sharks and turtles. We had a great lunch on board and we were really well looked after. I would definitely recommend to anyone considering this excursion.
