Excursion

Exploring the Galapagos on Foot

Don't forget to bring your walking shoes - exploring by foot is often the best way to experience the diverse Galapagos flora and fauna. There are many dedicated nature trails throughout the islands, some can be taken independently while for others you must be accompanied by a dedicated naturalist guide. Trails and paths vary from gentle strolls through mangroves and cacti forests to the more challenging ascents to spectacular look out points. All activity can be classed as gentle to moderate - the most strenuous is the caldera hike to Sierra Negra on Isabela. The main thing these trails have in common is that you are very likely to be bombarded with phenomenal wildlife sightings, whether its stepping over tangles of lazing land lizards or tip-toeing around nests of red-footed boobies!

Excursion

Puerto Baquerizo Moreno

The town of Puerto Baquerizo is likely to be your base for relaxation or exploration in San Cristobal. Even though hotel development is on the rise here, the sleepy town retains its charm and is a lovely place to relax or use as a jumping point to visit the sights. Unlike many islands in the Galapagos, lots of nearby surrounding areas on San Cristobal can be visited by yourselves. La Loberia is a sea-lion laden beach with interesting surrounding walking trails. It is just a short taxi ride from the town, or a 45-minute stroll. The famous Interpretation Centre is well worth a visit, and gives an easily digestible overview of the Galapagos, including the biology, geology and human history. If you are looking to go further afield you can hire a taxi for a day to explore areas such as Galapaguera to see tortoises, misty El Junco Lagoon and perhaps the beach at Puerto Chino. It is worth asking at your hotel about the best way to combine visits and to get the most competitive rates for a taxi for the day.

Excursion

Exploring the Galapagos by Panga

A 'panga' is an inflatable motorised dinghy, usually carrying up to ten passengers - they serve as the main transportation method to get from your Galapagos cruise to reach each visitor site. Nesting bird cliffs, rocky coastlines and mangrove estuaries are sometimes easier to view from the water so, where this is the case, the panga ride is used for the excursion itself.

Excursion

Exploring the Galapagos by Kayak

Kayaking is a real treat in the Galapagos, and often can be booked directly from your hotel or will be included as an optional activity during Galapagos cruises. The experience can bring you face to face with curious sea lions and extremely close to surfacing sea turtles without even having to get wet! Galapagos restrictions mean that it is only possible to kayak in certain permitted areas, so do grab the opportunity to try kayaking when offered! Do let us know if this is something that you would like to experience, and we can make sure your boat or hotel includes this option.

Excursion

Snorkelling

With an almost magical array of underwater life at your fingertips, snorkelling is a wildlife enthusiasts dream in the Galapagos! Over 400 species of colourful tropical fish swim side-by-side with playful sea-lions, giant manta rays and surfacing sea turtles. Snorkelling is a big part of any trip to the Galapagos, and should be expected to feature heavily on cruise itineraries. Equipment will be provided and opportunities will be given to snorkel, usually at least once per day depending on the itinerary and the islands you are visiting. Depending on the landing site, you will either swim from the beach or disembark from the panga (a small motorised motor boat).
