Kayak

If you seek adventure and sustainable tourism activities, kayaking is the sport that fulfills these two options of the adventurous tourist and ecological awareness.

In the Galapagos Islands you can practice this sport at any time of the year since the climate remains between dry and warm.

The advantage of practicing this sport in the sea is that resistance and self-control are put to the test, as it invites the adventurous tourist to self-encounter.

Panga Ride

The Dinghy Rides are also known as the “Pangas”.

This is a common activity that you can experience as it is the only way by which you can embark and desembark from ships in order to reach the sites.

These are rides on an inflated zodiac that take you through the waters while you take a closer look at the marine life around the islands.

Species Observation

Although natural selection takes place all over the globe, nowhere it is more evident than in the Galapagos Islands. You can find some of the most amazing species such as:

Galapagos land iguana

Marine iguanas

Galapagos giant tortoise

Darwin’s finches

Frigate birds

Blue-footed boobies, Flightless cormorants and more…

Hiking

Galapagos is a well-known paradise, not just for tourists, but also for scientists who are willing to travel and observe this living laboratory.

Hiking in the archipelago is one of the most common activities to perform when you are off the ship with your fellow travelers.

On the inhabited islands there are plenty of hiking options that can be done at your own pace.
