Take an active holiday on the Galapagos Islands - snorkel, bike, hike volcanos and sea kayak on our Galapagos adventure holiday.

This carefully planned multi-activity tour is perfect for lovers of outdoor adventure.

We combine snorkelling, biking, trekking, sea kayaking and diving in a unique itinerary taking in the highlights of these magical islands.

Whether you are snorkelling with playful sea lions, watching sharks and giant manta rays, or just enjoying the company of the Giant Galapagos Tortoise, you will go home with memories that will last a lifetime.

The trip is a great blend of activity, relaxation and enjoyment. As well as the wildlife, by staying on the islands you get a feel of the culture of the people who live on the Galapagos.

You are sped from highlight to highlight in our fast boat, Christine, minimising time on the water to help you get the most from your time on the Galapagos.

Your days begin after breakfast, when your guide will explain the day's activities and options. Evenings offer you the chances to explore the island's cafes and restaurants.

Since each island has its own unique landscape and diverse species of animal and plant life, every day is a new adventure.

You may spend the morning snorkelling with sea lions, and the afternoon atop a volcano. There aere kayaking options, beachfront strolls and time built in to hunt out souvenirs too.

Some recent feedback: 'The highlight was pretty much all of it - it was fantastic. Maybe snorkelling with sharks and meeting a great group of people and our wonderful, passionate guide. This was the the best holiday ever. Literally. I am reborn! Simply the best holiday I have ever been on.' Trish Dooley.
