Multi-Sport Galapagos Adventure

Your Galapagos adventure begins today. On arrival at San Cristobal airport, we meet you and provide a private transfer with an English speaking contact to your hotel in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno.

The rest of the afternoon is free – you can explore Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, or walk at your own pace to the Interpretation Centre, nearby beaches or Tijeretas. Accommodation at Galapagos Eco Friendly or similar.

From Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, we join a day tour by boat to Kicker Rock – the first activity of your Galapagos Multisport adventure. We snorkel along the rock walls with chances to spot several shark species – sometimes even hammerheads – as well as turtles, rays and more. Jellyfish may be present in some seasons – we provide a wetsuit when needed.

After snorkelling, we continue to Manglecito or a similar white coral beach for time to walk, relax and swim in the shallow waters before returning to town. A box lunch is served on board. Breakfast and box lunch included.

If you hold a PADI certificate, you can choose to dive at Kicker Rock – two dives – for an additional $80, with equipment included.

This morning we go paddle boarding around Playa Mann, a calm bay where we often see sea lions – a relaxed start to the day on the water. Afterwards, you have free time to explore at your own pace – you can walk to La Loberia or Tijeretas on short trails of about 20 minutes each.

In the afternoon we take the public speedboat from San Cristobal to Puerto Ayora, departing at 15:00 and arriving around 17:30.

After breakfast, we board a boat for about 45 minutes to the bay of Santa Fe – geologically one of the archipelago’s oldest islands – for a guided snorkelling session in clear waters, with the chance to spot marine life and seabirds on the surrounding rocks.

We then continue to Santa Cruz for a wet landing at Playa Escondida or Garrapatero, where we have around an hour to explore the beach before returning on board for our box lunch. This excursion is known locally as Pesca Vivencial – depending on weather and park regulations, you may observe a fishing demonstration.

A wet landing means stepping into shallow water to disembark – bring spare clothing as you may get wet.

Set out from Puerto Ayora for a full day of mountain biking with an English speaking guide. We pedal into the highlands of Santa Cruz to see giant tortoises in their natural habitat, including a short stop at a ranch where we can observe these remarkable animals at close range.

We then continue by bike to Garrapatero Beach – you can take a refreshing swim – before riding back to Puerto Ayora. Breakfast and a box lunch are included.

At 07:00 we board the public speedboat to Isabela Island. On arrival in Puerto Villamil we leave our luggage at the hotel, then head out on the Los Tuneles excursion. After around 45 minutes by boat from the dock we reach Los Tuneles, where, with our bilingual guide, we walk through this striking landscape with chances to spot blue-footed boobies, sea lions and penguins.

We then continue about 10 minutes to El Finado – one of Isabela’s most impressive snorkelling spots thanks to its shallow, clear and calm waters – with the chance to see seahorses, parrotfish, hogfish and wrasses. We return to Puerto Villamil in the early afternoon.

After breakfast, we head out by kayak with our guide to explore Los Tintoreras and the bay around Puerto Villamil – a gentle 2–3 hour paddle with time to take in the coastline and marine life. In the afternoon, you collect your bike for a self-guided ride to the Muro de las Lagrimas (Wall of Tears).

The route follows coastal tracks with beach views, passes lagoons where you may see flamingos, and offers the chance to spot giant tortoises along the dirt road. Breakfast included. Accommodation at Hotel San Vicente or similar.

After breakfast, we arrange your transfer to Baltra for your departing flight – scheduled in line with your itinerary – with a Spanish–speaking driver. Breakfast included. End of services.
