Tour Description

: Galapagos Tintoreras.

Generally after breakfast we will visit the Tintoreras Islet. Short sailing (20 min) starts at the dock aboard a small boat (capacity of 12 people). The islet takes its name from whitefin sharks known as Tintoreras. This is considered one of the most fascinating Galapagos species, in the same area we will find: sea lions, marine iguanas, blue-footed boobies, crabs (Sally Lightfoot Crab), sea turtles, pelicans and the peculiar Galapagos penguins. This exalted wildlife exhibition will leave us breathless. Then we will move to a sea inlet on the islet for snorkeling, the site is ideal for this activity because a large variety of fish, starfish, sea urchins, stingrays, and the beautiful sharks and sea lions swim on the site. After this unique meeting, we headed to the Isabela pier to finish the tour.

Fue una visita realmente espectacular. Todo fue perfecto: el barco, la atención de la tripulación, la comida, el guía naturalista y, sobre todo, el espectacular paisaje de Bartolomé Island y el snorkel en Sulivan bay donde vimos pingüinos, tiburones, tortugas y mil tipos de peces distintos. Una locura de la naturaleza. Si viajan a Santa Cruz, no dejen de hacer este tour...vale realmente la pena

NO RECOMENDADO, CUIDADO, ESTAFA. Una verdadera estafa, primero el turoperador pidió que canceláramos por civitatis porque demoraban en pasar. Luego le pasamos la dirección y no sabíamos que debíamos ir a Galápagos, dado que estábamos en Manta y casi unos 20 días antes que habíamos dicho esto, no nos dijeron nada, escribieron el día antes que no podían hacer nada, y que no se dieron cuenta que nuestro hotel estaba en Manta. Perdimos todo el dinero, nos sentimos estafados, la realidad es que es una verguenza la agencia, no lo recomiendo para nada.

The trip itself was fine but the organization was lacking. We did not get any communication regarding pick up time or meeting place until I called the day prior. And it seemed as if they were not expecting us. When we were dropped off at the port for the ferry to the speed boat to get to Isabela Island we were advised that the tour leader would have our names displayed. The speed boat ride was very harsh and if I had any medical issues ... back sensitivity, this would have been a disaster. Once on Isabela Island, our names were nowhere to be found and a tour leader had to call the tour operator who then added us to his list. Once the land tour was completed by Victor, we were handed over to Andrea for the kayaking portion of the tour. This felt out of sorts and we felt as if we were best being accommodated by Victor and Andrea as a stop gap measure. This was very disappointing as this was the most costly all the tours we did in the 5 days we were in the Galapagos. Would not use the services again or recommend them.

One of the best vacations, ever! Galapagos Islands are just out of this world. Full of nature, beauty, flora and fauna, including some rare & almost extinct species! Overall a wonderful time!
