Kayaking

According to National Park regulations, kayaking is only permitted at certain sites with a maximum number of 8 passengers in 4 double kayaks. Kayaking takes place before or after island excursions and this is one of the best ways to live Galapagos and its ecosystem to experience nature in its purest form.

Lectures and briefings

The expedition leader and the guides will give nightly lectures about the islands, in addition to briefings on the next day’s activities.

Snorkeling

Most of the snorkeling activities take place before or after island excursions, so that you will not miss the hikes. It is an optional activity while the rest of the passengers stay on board or on the beach.

Stargazing
