Itinerary
Snorkeling and Wildlife at Pinzón Island
The tour offers snorkeling at a prominent Galapagos location, featuring either two separate sessions or one extended snorkel. The initial snorkeling occurs in a calm, shallow natural pool before moving to deeper blue waters inhabited by species such as sharks, sea turtles, rays, sea lions, and marine iguanas. The second activity may be another snorkel at La Fé or, on rare occasions, a 45-60 minute guided walk through mangroves and areas with prickly pear and candelabra cacti. Observers can see a large colony of marine iguanas along with blue-footed boobies resting or fishing on rocks, as well as lava herons, pelicans, mockingbirds, Darwin finches, sea lions, and sally lightfoot crabs. Fishing from the boat is available, with big yellowfin tuna being the most common catch. A hot lunch and fresh ceviche are provided on board.
