Immerse yourself in the wildlife, culture, and unique ecosystem the Galápagos has to offer as you hike, bike, kayak, and snorkel your way across the archipelago. You'll spend the week snorkeling alongside curious sea lions, grazing sea turtles, majestic rays, and an abundance of tropical fish while visiting each of the four inhabited islands. Your adventure begins with a downhill bike ride through the San Cristóbal Highlands, where you'll learn about the island's vegetation before taking to the water for your first snorkel at the remarkable Kicker Rock. On Isabela Island, you'll hike up an active volcano to one of the largest calderas in the world and paddle a coastal kayak through Isabela's beautiful bay, then lounge on a black sand beach on the mysterious Floreana Island. Blue-footed boobies, marine iguanas, and frigate birds populate each island, and up-close encounters are common, so have your camera ready!

Along the way, you'll visit historical and educational sites on each island to learn about the region's human history and the many programs working to preserve this delicate environment through research, education, and sustainable tourism. You'll stay in quaint hotels and dine at local restaurants that take you off the beaten path and into the heart of the local culture. No tour would be complete without the chance to observe giant tortoises in their natural habitat and stroll through an ancient lava tunnel. Experience the Galápagos among the animals, the locals, and the landscapes on this unforgettable 10-day adventure.
