Pacific Hiking & Trekking Tours

Sail the Pacific on the Galapagos Angel yacht to Chinese Hat Islet, where lava tunnels and coral heads show off the archipelago's volcanic past near Santiago's southeast coast. Trek Darwin Bay's half-mile trail through mangroves to reach cliff views over the Pacific.

Take a dinghy through Black Turtle Cove's mangrove-lined Pacific waters and spot black-tip reef sharks, sea turtles, and rays in the shallows. Walk across Gardner Bay's white-sand beaches on Española and swim with playful sea lion pups in clear waters.

Travel by motorboat between San Cristóbal, Floreana, Isabela, and Santa Cruz islands, snorkeling at León Dormido's tall lava formation with hammerhead sharks and eagle rays. Sail three hours across the Pacific to Floreana watching for whales and dolphins, then see Bartolomé's red cinder cones.

Snorkel around Sombrero Chino and Bartolome's golden bays where you'll swim with Galapagos penguins and white-tipped reef sharks. Cruise on the 41-meter M/Y Queen Beatriz to eight islands like Santiago, Rabida, and North Seymour while staying in air-conditioned cabins.

Snorkel around Devil's Crown, a submerged volcanic crater full of Pacific marine life including sea turtles and rays in clear waters. Kayak along the white coral beaches of Gardner Bay on Española Island, and swim alongside playful sea lion pups in the Pacific surf. Check out Chinese Hat Islet's lava formations and underwater lava tunnels formed by Pacific volcanic activity.

Walk through the lush Scalesia forest in Santa Cruz Highlands, then head down into underground lava tunnels that stretch over half a mile beneath the surface. On Española, take the trail to Suarez Point where you'll see waved albatrosses taking off from clifftops.

Snorkel at Vicente Roca Point where Pacific currents bring seahorses, sea turtles, and the unusual Mola mola sunfish into protected coves. Kayak through Black Turtle Cove's mangrove-lined waters on Santa Cruz and spot black-tip reef sharks and rays in the shallow nursery habitat.
