Galapagos Kayaking Tours – Sea Kayak the Enchanted Islands
More...
Overview
Experiencing the natural wonder of the Galápagos archipelago, with its rich marine life and exotic flora and fauna, on our Galápagos sea kayaking trip is the ultimate way to go. With a maximum group size of 8 adventurers, it’s a more intimate and unique way to experience the Galápagos - without the big tour groups. 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.
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.
