Las Tintoreras are one of the most fascinating and iconic marine wildlife attractions in the Galapagos Islands. These sharks get their name from the characteristic white color on the tips of their dorsal and caudal fins, in addition to more aquatic life
Day Trip to Isabela Do not book with Galapogos BK Tours - if you are looking for a memorable, well coordinated adventure. First, communication prior to departure was poor. We were told we would have a pick up at the hotel, however, it was not our hotel but a different hotel that was over 1 km away. Because we had a very early departure, we located our hotel the night before. The hotel had no idea about a tour leaving from their location the next day. Late the evening before, we received an email telling us to now be at the main dock in town instead – even further away from our hotel. Fortunately we had purchased a local SIM card and had some connectivity. What would we have done if we were waiting at the wrong place? Upon arrival at the dock, instead of a boat with just our tour group, we were told to get on a ferry boat to Isabela. We had no guide, no information on what was happening, how long the ferry was … etc. We just waited. Upon arrival at the island, we were greeted by our guide and told to wait till everyone was there from various ferries --- 40 min of waiting and the guide never returned. We went looking for our guide and found he had started the tour without us. When we joined, he rudely asked --- where were you? I replied, waiting where you instructed us to wait. The tour was poor. It was not an English speaking tour, but Spanish based with a little translation into English. ¾ Spanish, ¼ English. My husband understands a little Spanish and he would explain things to me that were never shared in English by our guide. If an English speaking person asked a question and a Spanish speaking person interrupted, guide would answer the Spanish before finishing the English answer. Again, very rude. After lunch, he told our English speaking companions that they could not stay with the group because there was no room on the boat for the bay tour. They had to stay in town. How could someone be kicked off the tour half way through it? The places we visited were a major disappointment. The bay tour was very poor, the snorkeling worthless. Minutes after disembarking, I realized, my shorts were on the boat. When I found our guide, he was very disgusted with me for having left something on the boat and let me know it. However, because it was not a private boat, the boat was gone – and the guide was not willing to find the boat and simply said there were no shorts left on the boat. We went back to the ferry dock and were again, placed inside a hot stuffy cabin to wait for the large ferry boat to fill. Not a fun day. NOTE: Other tour companies offer private trips that leave from Santa Cruz on a smaller speed boat and allow you to enjoy a day on the water as you travel to your destination. This was the first and last time we will use WeTravel.
Great day saw lots of animals penguins sea lion flamingo and sharks actually we’re able to snorkel with sharks
I booked a 10 days tour to the Galapagos with Eduardo, and had the best time of my life! Eduardo arrange an itenerary fillled with activities for me in Santa Cruz, Isabela and San Cristobal. I was mainly into diving and snorkling and had an amazing time diving with the best diving centers in the Galapagos in the most famous locations as well. I also had some land tours in the highlands and it was wounderful! Eduardo arranged an english guide for me so I will understand everything. Eduardo and his family (Alexandra) are so nice, they took care of me the entire trip. We stayed in touch all the time in the office and in the phone as well. They took care of my every need. The tour included sleeping arrangment in a pricate rooms and lunch. As soon as I landed in Baltra a guy waited for me and took me to Porto Ayura. Also driving me and picking me up from / to activities. Thanks to them I could focus on having fun and had enjoyed my trip to the maximum. Thanks for the good times!
This was a great snorkeling trip. Because of the strike in Isabela we had to change plans and went to another island and it was great. The staff was helpful and professional. They prepared a great lunch as well. We saw white tip sharks, turtles and sea horses. It was wonderful but the water was cold so bring your full wet suit. I also suggest taking sea sickness medicine if you have sea sickness like me as it was a long boat ride and I only survived with my medicine. Overall this was a great day trip and I would strongly recommend it!
Just amazing. We went my partner and I from Spain in April '22 to Santa Cruz and Isabela. As it coincided with dates close to Easter there was no room for many excursions and even ferry transport between islands. They helped us in everything and made the Galapagos experience unbeatable. We did 3 excursions with them (Santa Fe, the Bahia tour and Los Tuneles, ) and the 3 with few people and very well organized, were great. Thanks for everything.
I loved my favorite tour thanks to the recommendation, it was worth going to isabela, as the sea much clearer and the experience is unique
A rewarding experience as the staff who attended us were very professional, friendly and attentive. Surely a trip worth repeating.
