About this trip
This is an active, land-based way to see the Galapagos — hiking volcanic slopes, mountain biking along the coast, and snorkelling in clear water thick with fish, rather than spending most of your time on a boat.
Days are full and physical, but you come back each evening to comfortable eco-conscious hotels for proper meals and a decent bed, so it's adventure with some comfort built in.
Local certified naturalists lead the wildlife side of things, so you're not just seeing sea lions and marine iguanas on the beach — you're getting context on what you're looking at.
What you'll do
- Hike an active volcano
- Mountain bike along the coastline
- Snorkel in waters full of tropical fish
- Relax on beaches alongside sea lions and marine iguanas
- Stay in eco-friendly boutique hotels between activities
- Moderate pace — expect full, active days rather than lazy beach time throughout
- Land-based trip using hotels rather than a live-aboard boat, suited to those who prefer a fixed base
- Works well for families and mixed-ability groups given the range of activities
