Kevin is wonderful! He set me up with 4 tours: kayaking, snorkeling the Tintoreras, hiking the volcano, and touring the Tunnels. All were wonderfully led, informative and well done. Kevin gave us all the information we needed beforehand and was available if we had questions or any issues. Highly recommend Paddle to the Penguins!

Increíble tour de kayak y snorkel 😍 recomendado al 100% Rico y Cristhian son los mejores guias que tuve en las islas! Saben mucho sobre Galapagos, su vida silvestre y conocen bien la zona, muy amables y atentos a todo! Gracias por compartir su conocimiento, lugar y cultura! Vas a ver animales nadando al lado de tu kayak (los lobitos y pingüinos curiosos se acercan a saludar :) rayas, tiburones bebe, iguanas marinas, pelicanos, piqueros de patas azules y tortugas! Y si hay olas van a poder surfear con el kayak, muy divertido!! Gracias Rico 😄 Gracias Cristhian por encontrar los pulpos y a Kevin por el excelente servicio!!

One of the best experiences in the Galápagos Islands! Ricardo is an outstanding guide—highly professional, attentive to our safety, and truly passionate about his work. Beyond the kayaking adventure, he skillfully spotted numerous animals while we were snorkeling and provided us with detailed explanations about each one. His excellent command of English made the experience even more accessible and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Isla Isabela!

What an experience with Kevin from Paddle to the Penguins🙏 We had an amazing time kayaking around tintoreras in front of the Puerto Villamil bay. We saw penguins, brown pelicans, fragates, sea turtles, marine iguanas. We finished the tour by some snorkelling in concha de perla and we have been able to see other green sea turtle and eagle ray, with others. Kevin was very attentive and gave us so much information about the sites, we learned a lot and we spent an wonderful time. Muchas gracias 😊

One of the best experiences I've had in Galapagos! I booked a private paddle board very early in the morning. Kevin was extremely nice and helpful during the planning process, designing exactly the itinerary I imagined. Ricardo was my guide and he was very knowledgeable about all the animals, showed me many things and spoke really great English. I highly recommend!
