This was one of the coolest things I’ve done in my 51 years of life. Absolutely worth it! I have a slight fear of open water but my son talked me into going. The crew was fantastic and their confidence was contagious. I was nervous and excited but swimming with my youngest son with sharks right there was a once in a lifetime opportunity that I will forever be grateful for.
Beautiful shark swim!

Very cool trip swimming with sharks. We only were able to see Galapagos sharks , likely due to the time of year, but amazing none the less. The trip is fairly off shore, so make sure to use something for sea sickness!
Once in a lifetime experience

It was fun! Nothing to be scared about … just relax and enjoy the nature. Beautiful gentle Galapagos sharks. I wish the activity is little cheaper. 😉

For 2 hours we were Ohana with the crew. It’s a small family owned business. This made it really laid back and enjoyable. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable and mostly funny (Georgia needs to work on his some before AI takes his job LOL). Definitely recommend this tour. We saw lots of sharks and the images we got were great, not to mention they were included in the package for free.
Heck Yeah
