Active Galapagos

Kayaking off of The Samba

Designed for the active and inquisitive traveler, our Active Galapagos cruises offer many opportunities for snorkelling, kayaking and hiking alongside a deeply knowledgable naturalist guide.

Our Featured Ship

We charter the Samba over 20 weeks per year, working hand in hand with the owner to make sure your trip will be one of the best you’ll ever have. 

Top Quality Guides

Our hand-picked team of naturalist guides are chosen for their passion and for their in-depth knowledge of Galapagos and conservation.

Active Experience

Get closer to the islands as we snorkel, kayak and hike our way around the Galapagos. Our active trips take you deeper into the natural wonder of this place.

The Samba

Our feature ship is the Samba charter ship. We have been working with the Samba for more than 20 years. The ship is owned and operated by the Salcedo family of Galapagos. The Salcedo family has been in the Galapagos tourism business for over 45 years.

The Samba is considered a "high end tourist superior" ship, the best ship of its class in Galapagos.
The crew were fantastic, the food was terrific and our naturalist guide was extremely knowledgeable. Crew and guide worked very hard to ensure everyone had the best possible experience. The atmosphere during the trip was very warm, friendly and fun.
