Full-day navigations to the uninhabited islands, leaving from Puerto Ayora and Puerto Villamil. Lunch is served on board, snorkeling gear is included and a certified naturalist guide travels with the group.
Bartolome, Santa Fe, Pinzon, Floreana, South Plaza, North Seymour and the Isabela crossing.

A full-day boat trip to Bartolome, the volcanic island behind the Pinnacle Rock skyline, with a climb to the viewpoint and, conditions allowing, snorkeling. The day ends among the lava formations of Sullivan Bay.

North Seymour packs land iguanas, frigatebirds and blue-footed boobies into 1.9 square kilometres. After lunch on board you snorkel at Playa Bachas or Mosquera Islet, whichever the sea allows.

Two snorkel sessions in the clear water off Santa Fe, with sea lions, turtles and tropical fish, then lunch on board and, if the sea allows, a stop at Playa Escondida.

A day around Pinzon Island and La Fe Islet: a landing among marine iguanas and boobies, a circuit of Roca Sin Nombre, snorkeling with reef sharks and rays, and optional recreational fishing.

Floreana carries the islands' human history. You visit Asilo de la Paz, the Pirates' Cave and the tortoise breeding centre, then the sea lions of Playa Loberia and a black-sand beach.

A small island with an outsized cast: land iguanas under the prickly pear, seabirds along the cliff edge and a sea lion colony at the dock. The afternoon is snorkeling at Punta Carrion.

A long day and a 2.5-hour crossing to Puerto Villamil: the Arnaldo Tupiza tortoise breeding centre, the flamingo lagoons, and 45 minutes of snorkeling in the channels of Tintoreras Islet.
Extra fees paid on the day

Three hours off Puerto Villamil in three parts: a panga ride around the islets, a walk over lava flows past resting white-tip sharks, and a snorkel over rays, turtles and reef fish.
Know before you go

Four to five hours out of Puerto Villamil to the lava arches of Los Tuneles, with a first stop at Roca Union in open water for boobies, pelicans and sea lions.
