The tour required traveling for a long time to get to the destination but at the end all of it was worth it. The male frigate birds with their red pouches blown up, dolphins and bonus of catching a group of pilot whales were the highlight of the tour. The guide was knowledgeable and explained the fragile ecosystem of North Seymour island in great detail.

We saw couple sea lions families on the island. The babies sea lions are learning from their parents around the shore area. We also see various type of birds on the islands including, blue leg birds and lagoons. Our tour guide is knowledgeable. He showed us where to see the animals.

We were on the Galaxy with very good crew and guide. It is an absolutely recommended excursion on which you can see a lot of the animals up close. It was only slightly cloudy, as we went snorkeling after the tour at 12.30pm and lunch was not scheduled until around 2pm. We have been at the Galaxy with a very good Crew and guide. Absolutely a recommendation, you see all the local wildlife with very short distance. A little bit less perfect that after return of the expedition 12.30h a snorkeling excursion was planned and lunch was scheduled close to 14h.

We had a great time hiking around Seymour Island and saw quite a few animals up close. Our guide gave us tips to take a great picture. We also loved snorkeling at the beach and saw a sea turtle on the beach then snorkeled with it close by. The beach was beautiful. The crew on the boat takes great care of you and the snacks and lunch were delicious

A great mix of nature and snorkeling. The captain and guide were great. We were able to tour the island and then cool off on a beach and swim with sea lions! And then the snorkeling was pretty good too.

Great tour but difficult confirming timing and getting information once we were in the Galapagos. It made for a less than perfect planning experience. Once we were headed on the trip all went well and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Many of the other excursions had wet suits available to rent on board, ours did not but there was no way to know this in advance. More info needs to be communicated to customers.
