Activities

PANGA RIDES

KAYAK

Slowly paddling under your own steam is another popular way to experience the islands, with kayaks provided complimentary on some Galapagos Island cruises. With the absence of motor noise and a low vantage point, kayaking excursions offer up-close wildlife encounters and the freedom to follow your curiosity and explore at leisure.

HIKES

Daily hikes led by Galapagos National Park naturalist guides offer a unique insight into the wildlife, geological history and human endeavors of the islands, following clearly marked trails. Most range from one to three hours and are suitable for all ages and fitness levels, with optional extensions for those interested in hiking longer.

SNORKEL
