Overview

We are dedicated to providing you with an incredible experience-“the trip of a lifetime.” We offer land-based tours, which allow you to see many of the unique plants and animals of the Galapagos ‘up close and friendly.’ You can snorkel with myriads of tropical fish, invertebrates and often sharks, as well as playful sea lion pups that are waiting for your arrival. You will climb volcanoes, visit giant tortoise sanctuaries, and even walk where Darwin first walked in the Galapagos! Our trips are geared for anyone who wants to visit this amazing archipelago; if you have a specific program (secondary, college, and university students, teachers and volunteers programs) you want to follow, we can help you tailor your own specific experience.

What to expect

  1. Kicker Rock
    2h
    Jump in the boat for a day at sea-snorkeling or diving at iconic "León Dormido" (Kicker Rock) and at the secluded beach and other viewpoints and spots! You will be accompanied by a Galapagos National Park Naturalist Guide at all times for mysterious spotting of natural wildlife and scenery.
    Sea turtles, reef sharks, hammer heads, tropical fish, invertebrates, and sea birds abound!!
  2. San Cristobal
    2h
    Depending on the itinerary we will disembark on one of the beaches along "kicker Rock"; either "Manglesito Beach" or "Cerro Brujo".
    Secluded beach on the Northwest side of the San Cristobal Island. Amazing scenery and wildlife, not as virtuous as Kicker but you'll have a chance to spot smaller species such as tropical fish, sealions, rays, sea turtles and other invertebrates.
    Depending on the day, we will alternate the beach (resting spot) in where we anchor and have lunch before we disembark.
  3. Isla Lobos
    Pass by
    We stop by "Lobo Island" along its channel to check for diving equipment and get familiarized with our snorkeling gear.
  4. Cerro Tijeretas
    Pass by
    “Cerro Tijeretas” or “Darwin’s Hill” is viewpont located at the North entrance of the island. It is better known to be the first disembarking spot of Charles Darwin in 1835 in the Galapagos. Tijeretas is one of the largest nesting spots of the two types of frigate birds found in the islands, hence its name. We so only pass by this spot to take photos ans appreciate the scenery.
