Galapagos & Amazon
Multi-Sport Tours

            Transportation will be pre-arranged to pick you and your party up at your hotel in Quito or Guayaquil and transfer you to the airport to board your flight to San Cristobal Island, Galapagos. Enjoy lunch with traditional Galapagos cuisine and prepare for your adventure. Your journey begins after hiking down to the Darwin Interpretation Center. Here, information on the islands is provided, including the formation and history of the Galapagos. It is here where you will first really experience the uniqueness of the Galapagos and see some of the rarest wildlife in the world. After your introduction to the Islands, enjoy an inviting swim at Mann Beach or Carola Beach. The evening is yours to either explore the local shops of San Cristobal Island or indulge at one of the restaurants.

            The day begins early in the morning by kayaking north, along the coast, working your way to Playa Ochoa. Along the way, wildlife surrounds you as you discover bays, coves, marine life, and indigenous Galapagos birds. Once you and your party have reached Playa Ochoa, you can relax on the sand or swim with sea lions playing in the water. Energize yourself with a hearty lunch and begin your hike towards Lobos Island near Santa Cruz. It is here where you will observe the distinctive lava lizards and marine iguanas. Look closely at the birds and you will see blue-footed boobies, frigates, and other native birds soaring in the sky. The final destination includes a challenging hike to jagged cliffs of Leon Dormido. Leon Dormido is one of the best places to snorkel and dive in the Galapagos Islands where hammerheads, white tipped sharks, tropical fish, rays, and a variety of marine life can be seen. During the afternoon, you and your group will return to your hotel rooms and celebrate your last evening on San Cristobal Island.

            Enjoy breakfast and then board your boat to transfer from San Cristobal Island to Santa Fe and Santa Cruz Islands. Santa Fe Island is famous for its crystal clear water coves where sea lions and their pups joyfully play while vibrant tropical fish, Galapagos turtles, and rays swim below. After snorkeling, your journey continues as you board your boat to Santa Cruz Island where the famous tortoise, Lonely George, resides. Here, you will also see some of the most graceful, indigenous, and interesting birds in the Galapagos, such as finches, frigates, flycatchers, ducks, and egrets. You and your party will explore the incredible lava caves, with some of the longest tunnels in the world. If it is a clear day, you will be able to view Media Luna, which is a crater at the top of Santa Cruz Island. Next, you will drive to Cerro Mesa, where mountain bikes are waiting for you. This 20 kilometer part dirt, part paved path cuts through the highland farms, down to Bella vista village, and finishes at Puerto Ayora, where you will be staying the night in your hotel.

            The day begins after breakfast. Once your kayak is picked up, you will paddle on bright turquoise waters around Divine Bay and Punta Estrada. In the waters below, white tipped sharks and Galapagos rays swim, and blue-footed boobies, herons, and tropic birds perch on rocks and soar in the sky, while marine iguanas sun bathe on the cliffs. When returning to your hotel, you and your group will stop along the way at the Charles Darwin Research Station, visit Lonely George, the last tortoise of this species in the world, and learn about all of the conservation efforts that have taken place to preserve the Galapagos Islands, the wildlife, and its beauty. Afterwards, an optional 6 kilometer roundtrip hike to Tortuga Bay is available. This self-guided tour will take you to one of the most breathtaking beaches in the Islands. Once you return to Puerto Ayora, the evening is yours to explore, dine, or relax while you absorb the Galapagos experience thus far.

            Formed by 6 volcanoes, Isabela Island is the largest island in the Galapagos. All but one volcano remains active, which makes Isabela Island one of the most active volcanic areas in the world. You and your party will depart Puerto Ayora via boat to Puerto Villamil located on Isabela Island. While visiting the Galapagos Rearing Center, educational information is provided about tortoise development and conservation techniques and efforts. You will partake in a search for the Galapagos penguin, explore massive lava formations, and be welcomed by an audience of sea lions. Exotic birds such as flamingos, herons, and the native Mangrove Finch can be observed wondering the lagoons. The afternoon is reserved for relaxing and the night is filled with exploring the port town of Puerto Villamil.
