General Information
Galapagos Adventure Tour
A unique tour of the Galapagos including a wide variety of activities, this tour is oriented to active travelers who really want to experience the islands. The tour combines hiking, kayaking, snorkeling and biking...and even a dinner with a local family and a day of volunteering. Visits to the islands of San Cristobal and Isabela are part of both tours; the 8 day tour adds Santa Cruz and includes a day tour to either Bartolomé, Seymour, Plazas or Santa Fe. Reasonably priced, the tour can depart with a minimum of 2 passengers, and depending on availability of accommodations and services, can generally begin on any day of the week. Itineraries include visits to spectacular and lesser known sites for a great overall tour.
Both the 5 day and 8 day tours combine several chances to snorkel and observe amazing varieties of underwater life with hikes, biking and kayaking in the highlands of San Cristobal and Isabela (and Santa Cruz on the 8 day tour) including a visit to both the Sierra Negra Volcano and Volcan Chico on Isabela. Transportation between San Cristobal and Isabela is by flight (included), shorter distances will be in a public speedboat.
