Land access on Daphne Major is prohibited so a stop at either Playa Borrero on Santa Cruz or Roca Hundida is included so you can get some snorkeling in this area.

"Galapagos Alternative did an excellent job is organizing this trip. This was truly VIP treatment from start to finish. Someone met us at the airport and we waited in the VIP lounge while they got up our luggage and then we were off to our hotel."
