Description:

This tour is the ideal way to get to know the Galapagos Islands in a few days, combining sport with the discovery of its iconic wildlife and the most emblematic places of its three main islands.

Designed for lovers of active life, this experience includes aquatic and land activities such as snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, paddle boarding and more.

Itinerary:

The adventure begins on the island of San Cristobal with an excursion to La Lobería, a bay protected by rocks. Here you can enjoy its beautiful beaches, practice kayaking and observe the stars of the place: the charismatic sea lions, fascinating, playful and very curious animals.

Activities: Kayaking, hiking, wildlife watching

Highlights: San Cristobal, La Lobería

The adventure of this day will take you to sail towards the famous León Dormido (or Kicker Rock“), an impressive islet for exploration in the open sea. It is the perfect place to snorkel and observe closely an incredible variety of marine life, including sharks, rays, turtles and colorful fish.

After the activity, you will visit a white sand beach, where you will have time to swim and relax before returning to port.

Note: It is possible to scuba dive in Kicker Rock, but only if you have a PADI diving certificate.

Activities: diving, snorkeling, sailing, wildlife watching

Highlights: San Cristobal, El León Dormido

We will fly by plane to Isabela Island, the largest and youngest of the archipelago. Once there, you will have free time until the afternoon activity: we suggest you visit the Flamingo Lagoon, an important mangrove habitat for these aquatic birds, or the Tortoise Breeding Center, where the hatchlings are protected until they are strong enough to survive in the wild.

During the afternoon, you will go to Puerto Villamil Bay to paddleboard or kayak. It is a perfect place to observe closely small Galapagos penguins, sea lions, rays and turtles.

Activities: stand up paddle or , kayaking, snorkeling, wildlife watching

Highlights: Flight over Isabela, Isabela Bay, Concha de Perla.

For this day, you can choose between two unforgettable experiences on Isabela Island: a volcanic adventure or an aquatic expedition.

Sierra Negra Volcano

You will leave by bus to the upper part of the island, where you will begin your hike to the crater of the Sierra Negra Volcano, the second widest active crater in the world. The trail continues to Volcán Chico, which is actually a satellite crater of Sierra Negra.

Note: it is possible to opt for a different tour that does Sierra Negra (main crater) and Minas de Azufre

Los Túneles (Cabo Rosa)

This tour is done by boat, sailing towards Los Túneles, a site where volcanic lava entered the ocean and formed a series of tunnels. You can swim and snorkel in its waters to observe rays, blue-footed boobies, sea lions, reef sharks and even penguins.

After the tours, you will return in time to take a speedboat to Santa Cruz Island, the last island of your itinerary. Upon arrival at the port, you will have the late afternoon free to explore. Santa Cruz is the ideal place to buy souvenirs in its galleries and craft shops. In the evening, we recommend strolling along the boardwalk, where you can often see young sharks.

Activities: hiking, sailing, swimming, snorkeling, wildlife watching

Highlights: Los Tuneles, Sierra Negra Volcano, Santa Cruz, Isabela

One of our guides will pick you up from the hotel to go together to the north of the island. They will make a stop at one of the ranches to observe giant tortoises in their natural habitat, a golden ending to your days in Galapagos.

Then, they will continue to Baltra Island, where the airport is located, to take your return flight to the mainland.

Activities: wildlife watching

Highlights: Upper Part of Santa Cruz
