Great snorkeling adventure!

Santiago was very funny and knowledgeable about the islands. He created a warm and welcoming environment and spoke both English and Spanish. You take a city bus to the location then walk a bit to the boat. This is the only thing we would have liked to have known about before. We saw a whale, and that made up for it!
