Additional Information
Espanola Island highlights are plentiful. Gardner Bay is one of them, it has a lovely bit white sand beach in which you will get to share with a range of sea lions of all sizes. You can also grab some snorkeling gear and float around in the water observing the pretty colorful fish in the depths below. Suarez Point (Punta Suarez) is perhaps one of the best parts as you can watch the massive waved albatross use the cliff as a run way, propelling themselves off into the sky to take off by jumping off the cliff. Punta Suarez is a great spot for bird watchers as you can observe a variety of different birdlife on the island

A wonderful day out - Well organised. Attentive guide, with lots of knowledge. Exceptional wildlife on land and snorkelling. Playful sea lions while snorkeling were great. The food was plentiful and excellent. Would worry about the size of the boat on a more choppy crossing.
Fortunately we had an extremely comfortable ride. Wetsuits were included in the snorkelling gear which not all companies offer, and were very appreciated.

WB Diving where are the safety measures? - A boat with 14 people operating on one out of 2 engines in big seas, resulting in a shorter visit , promised of a second boat that never came a too long snorkeling session and arrival time back at 18.30 instead of 15.00. No safety briefing, life jackets used as pillows for comfort. Big seas making return trip very unsafe.
This was with WB DIVING or Wreck Bay Diving in SSN Cristobal. Shame as visit could have been exceptional

Excessivly expensive - I paid almsot twice the price by booking on Viator compared to the people on the same tour who booked directly to the local agency. Funny enought the sentence « best price garanty » is ritten all over the website.

WARNING - Do not use this agency - WARNING!!! Do not use this agency. We booked this trip well in advance and based on the dates that they had available just to have it cancelled the day before. This messed up our entire plans. They should not offer day trips that are not confirmed. We spent two days on an island unnecessarily.
