Trip Highlights

Customize Your Groups Trip

Epic Island Adventures

Get ready for a massive nine-day adventure across the Enchanted Isles. You will island-hop by boat between San Cristobal, Santa Cruz, and Isabela, experiencing the absolute best each location has to offer.

Water and Land Exploration

Spend your days swimming through the crystal waters of Loberia Beach, snorkeling around the iconic Kicker Rock, and kayaking the open bays. When you are back on land, the adventure continues with an incredible hike up the Sierra Negra Volcano and visits to the Charles Darwin Research Station to get up close with the giant tortoises.

Conservation Impact

This trip is about more than just sightseeing. You actually get to leave a positive mark on the islands. You will team up with local scouts for a beach clean-up and engage in other meaningful volunteer activities to help preserve this beautiful ecosystem. And the profits from your trip will help fund local and global turtle conservation programs.

We know every group is different, so this entire itinerary is customizable. The base trip is fully loaded and includes your naturalist guides, private in-country transportation, meals, accommodations, and activity entrance fees.
