What you can expect

Embark on a very special small-group day tour to the remote, uninhabited part of Floreana Island, Galapagos.

Please note that this is not the common tour to Floreana port, operated by public speedboats (big groups of 35) which is mainly focused on the human history of Floreana and only allows snorkeling from the beach, but it is a special tour that only departs once a week to Cormorant Point, a site that was only accessible for cruise ships before.

Led by an expert naturalist guide, this tour promises an intimate encounter with the island's diverse wildlife. This tour is not only perfect for birdwatching, but also offers abundand wildlife on the two beaches that you will visit, during the exploration walk along the lagoon as well as underwater during the snorkel activity.
The place where the snorkeling will take place is one of the few deep-water sites for day tours, which means that here you might get lucky enough to spot the impressive hammerhead sharks. Moreover, there is many big seaturtles, lots of tropical fish, sea lions as well as rays in the water - definitely one of the most spectacular snorkel sites!

Try your hand at fishing for yellow-fin tuna or wahoo and explore the island's unique landscapes with two stunningly beautiful and completely different beaches.

This tour definitely is a hidden gem and worth the almost 2 hours of navigation on each end.
