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.

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.
