Experience Overview
Looking for more than a cruise to the islands? A week of touring the less-explored parts of the Galápagos Islands is the answer. We’ll start in Santa Cruz, then head to Floreana to stay on a part of the island that sees less visitors than the rest.
Highlights
- Hike up Sierra Negra Volcano – the second-largest volcanic crater in the world – and walk on the lava fields
- Observe flamingos at an isolated lagoon
- Be amazed at the unique wildlife of the Galápagos
- Enjoy a G Adventures-supported community guesthouse on Floreana.
