Galapagos MultiSport Adventure
Overview
Spend 8 days in the enchanted Galápagos Archipelago sea kayaking, snorkeling, hiking, biking, surfing, horseback riding and photographing bizarre and fearless wildlife from one island to the next. Our sporty 50-foot catamaran is able to access a variety of islands and unique destinations that some larger vessels cannot.
We’ll visit the four largest islands and several islets of the archipelago. Our small and intimate group size allows us to spend time observing wildlife and enjoying an active vacation without the crowds found on other tours.
Each day provides opportunities to hike, swim and snorkel at a host of unique islands, on a variety of landscapes, surrounded by a plethora of unusual and fearless wildlife, birdlife and marine life, and our cozy catamaran offers respite from daily activities.
Itinerary at a Glance
How about a little history?
In the center of the Inca Empire—equally rich in
adventure as it is in history–is the South American nation of
Peru, a mystical land of rolling countryside, dramatic Andean
viewscapes, archaeological remains of Inca and pre-Inca
origin—extensive terracing, villages, fortresses and outposts
with intensive agricultural activity.
Our Machu Picchu Extension is the best way to extend your Galapagos or
Ecuador vacation and provides an in-depth exploration of the Inca
Empire with visits to the Sacred Valley, the Pisac market and ruins,
hiking, and a climactic visit to Machu Picchu.
