About the trip

This G Adventures small-group holiday takes in the essential natural highlights of the Galápagos, spending eight days across Santa Cruz and Isabela Islands. It begins quietly with a welcome meeting before heading out for snorkelling among the lava formations of Los Túneles, where marine life flourishes in clear waters. There is a paddle in a kayak around Tortuga Bay, a stretch of sand framed by coastline that is popular with marine iguanas and nesting birds.

The Charles Darwin Research Station near Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz offers a look at giant land tortoises, some much older than the buildings they survive near. Lunch at a private reserve with wild tortoises and lava tunnels introduces the local natural history more fully. The relaxed pace includes free time on both islands, and evenings with a view from the boutique hotel. The tour is led by a knowledgeable CEO, blending scheduled activities with plenty of moments to simply enjoy the scenery.
