Galapagos Sea Kayaking

See Nature's Most Specatular Show

Experiencing the natural wonder of the Galápagos archipelago, with its rich marine life and exotic flora and fauna is the ultimate way to go. Every day we explore different islands, on foot and by sea kayak, with daily opportunities for snorkeling and beachcombing. In the late afternoons our catamaran delivers us from one island to another spectacularly beautiful Galápagos habitat to explore. With a professional sea kayaking guide and an on-board naturalist, we perfect our paddle strokes and get the most out of these amazing islands, all the while learning about the natural history and unimaginably abundant wildlife.

Galapagos Sea Kayaking Adventure at a Glance

Arriving on the Island of San Cristobal, your Galápagos kayaking tour begins with a visit to the new Interpretation Center. Board the catamaran and swim with sea lions in the aquamarine waters while watching the comical blue-footed boobies at Playa Ochoa. Sea kayak to Isla Lobos, a great place for iguana and frigate bird watching. Paddle to Kicker Rock, a cone-shaped rock formation abruptly rising almost 500 feet from the ocean surface. Hike to the headlands of Punta Suarez, one of the archipelago's most prolific wildlife habitats. Glide into Gardner Bay, where we will walk along the sandy beach, enjoy lovely views, and swim and kayak with sea lions. Follow in the footsteps of pirates, whalers, and colonists as we explore Floreana. Sea kayak to Punta Cormorant, where Palo Santo trees surround a brackish lagoon that hosts flamingos. Visit the Darwin Research Station and the giant Galápagos land tortoises before stopping in town for souvenir shopping. Take a pre-dawn climb of an extinct volcano towering above St. James Bay. Paddle to Isla Bartolome along the frozen lava flows of San Salvador's coastline and swim with marine turtles and Galápagos penguins. Transfer back to Quito and rendezvous for our last meal together
