Experience Overview
The Galápagos Islands aren't just all about cruising! Over a week’s time and beginning and ending right in the heart of the action (the islands, of course), you’ll stay active by snorkelling, hiking, and exploring the diverse terrain before slowing things down with wildlife exploration in the company of an expert Naturalist Guide. With plenty of options to stick around after the trip’s done (or show up early for some independent adventuring beforehand), this is the perfect express trip for a most excellent Galápagos experience.
Highlights
- Snorkel with sea lions
- Travel by public speedboats around the Galápagos Islands
- Visit Charles Darwin Research Station
- Hike the Sierra Negra Volcano.

Good experience and good group. However, I was a little disappoint with what was "included" and I felt like I could have done almost everything very easily on my own.

This tour was absolutely fantastic. We loved every single day and it was an incredible adventure. The activities, our guide Jose, the other guests on the tour and the scenery were all brilliant. It was an amazing week and one I was very sad to see end.

I had the best time, and I made some friends for life. I still can’t believe we got to see all this wildlife up close and personal - it still feels surreal. José was great - can’t thank him enough for this once in a lifetime experience.
