The soul behind all of this is our BIG15 – a list of the fifteen most iconic species in the Galapagos.
We have nearly 7 decades of experience planning and operating tours in the Galapagos Islands. So trust us when we say that we know exactly what is required to explore the islands in the most comfortable, exciting, and fulfilling way. We’ll also fill you in on everything you need to know in order to experience the Galapagos to the fullest.

Activities
Snorkeling
The Galapagos Islands are home to hundreds of fascinating species, so you can be sure that you’ll see something exciting and incredible every single day! Snorkeling opportunities are available throughout the archipelago and you'll be in the company of an expert naturalist guide that is wholly committed to providing you with the best experience available.
Kayaking
The Galapagos offers some of the best coastlines for sightseeing and animal watching. Kayaking is a comfortable and fun way of traveling around and enjoying some of the most striking areas in the archipelago. It's also a good opportunity to work on your coordination and communication skills with a partner.
Hiking
Buzz Aldrin, one of the first astronauts to set foot on the moon, agrees that some islands in the Galapagos resemble the surface of that same, wondrous rock he visited so many years ago. Experiencing the islands via our exclusive tours gives you access to some of the most startling and awe-inspiring landscapes and ecosystems on the planet!
