About This Tour
This 8-day Galapagos expedition is a carefully paced, island-hopping journey designed to show you the archipelago’s most iconic landscapes while staying on its three main inhabited islands: Santa Cruz, Isabela, and San Cristóbal. The route balances land and sea experiences, giving you time to explore, rest, and truly connect with each island rather than rushing through them. You’ll walk among giant tortoises in the highlands, hike the vast caldera of Sierra Negra volcano, snorkel the lava tunnels and turquoise waters of Los Túneles, and finish with an unforgettable marine experience at Kicker Rock, one of the Galapagos’ top snorkeling and diving sites. Traveling by inter-island speedboats and staying in locally owned hotels, this small-group adventure is led by expert naturalist guides and supports local communities—offering a meaningful, immersive way to experience the Galapagos beyond the highlights.
