I think he'll find enough to do to make it worthwhile for him. And getting in shape for this cruise has been invaluable as a goal to motivate him to work hard with his physical therapy. At the rate that he is improving, I think he will be fine. Thanks again for the information! I went on the trip on 4 Sept and they would not let me snorkel because I could not walk a mile https://grandmargalapagos.travellerspoint.com/19/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cannot, they will not let you snorkel no matter how good a swimmer you are. In their view, you don't need to be able to swim to snorkel (they give you snorkeling vests) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrism23 Posted December 13, 2021 #28 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I realize this thread has been running for awhile but I have to chip in one thing. In all of my SS excursions the best, most fun, coolest experience I have had was in the Galapagos where on the 2nd day we went snorkeling off the beach, just a slightly wet landing on the sand. And we were in the middle of a sea lion rookery, There were at least 100 sea lions. And they are so used to humans they wanted to play. They would come at us, a little scary at first because these things weigh about 180 pounds, but then they would jump over you, go under you, or veer off. I was laughing so hard I almost flooded, my mask. Then there was a lot of mating going on on the beach, there were a a dozen or so of sea lion pups. An experience not to be missed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
