Snorkel with sharks and sea lions in the Galápagos Islands

Wild sea swimming? Check. Snorkelling with sea lions? Check. Close encounters with giant tortoises? Check. This five-day Galápagos Islands tour is guaranteed to stun even the most worldly of travellers. The adventure kicks off quickly; first is snorkelling with white-tipped reef sharks in the Itabaca Channel. Next, you’re off sailing to an uninhabited island – accompanied by a professional naturalist – to snorkel with penguins. You’ll then be following in the footsteps of Charles Darwin as your journey ends on the lava trails and beaches of San Cristobal, spotting rare birdlife and strolling alongside endemic iguanas.
