After open-water snorkeling in the protected bay near Pinzón island, you will motor back to Las Palmas Beach for lunch aboard your vessel. Following lunch you can snorkel from the beach or help with a little beach cleanup (completely optional, of course).

"We are so happy we decided to do a land based tour with Galapagos Alternative. It's the best way to go! They make the process of traveling to the islands simple and don't overcharge. Their use of local tour companies stimulates the local economy and gets you right in the middle of all the action on the islands."
