I want to go to Galápagos

Galápagos is one of those destinations that, everyone wants to go.
Many reasons are there to attract people; animal lovers, adventure, science, surf, snorkel, diving, sun tan, there are lots of reasons.
Santa Fé Island
Now a days a lot of options are offered. The thing is many do not know they exist.
The most known of them all is the cruise:
Trip on a ship, yacht, sail boat, for fifteen days total, one week, three to four days.

Island Hoping:
Using the regular cabotage service, you can go from one inhabited island to the next one, using this as a way to jump onto the neare:st sites belonging to the National Park.

Day tour:
Means using one Island as a base, stay in an hotel and visit one of the nearest islands per day, going back to the hotel every night.

Diving cruises:
Just as it says, diving in the Galápagos, one of the hotspots for this kind of sport.


I also like the new "Sustainable fishing" which involves the local fisherman with their own vessel, refited to welcome guests, not yet exactly there to fit in first class service, but a great experience anyway. Sustainable fishing, will let you go fishing , snorkelling and perhaps cook your own fish with the fisherman/host.

All these options can be put together and make a longer trip.

Also you can come here with your own private yacht, but as far as I know, this needs a special agent to assist you  with all the governments requierements, and is very expensive.

If you want you can hire your own guide and organize your own trip.
