North Africa Snorkeling Trips

What an adventure! This holiday combines two iconic destinations into one trip. It's a busy, fast-paced itinerary, full of stimulation and excitement so be prepared! In Peru, as well as enjoying Cusco, you'll visit incredible ruins nearby and in the Sacred Valley and learn so much about the Incas and how they conquered, and then retained control of, vast swathes of South America. Holger's in-depth knowledge of all things Inca helped us to piece together this information into a coherent whole so that we had a real insight into the civilisation. You'll also have the opportunity (for no additional cost) to complete the One Day Inca Trail. Machu Picchu does not disappoint and, as well as being technologically fascinating, is absolutely stunning. In the Galapagos, you'll island hop your way to San Cristobal, Floreana, Isabela, Santa Cruz, Isla Lobos, Bartolome and Las Tintoreras, seeing every kind of wildlife imaginable. The animals really are everywhere, in large numbers and just don't mind you being nearby. It's a hiking, snorkelling and photographic extravaganza (and Richard will share all his videos and photos)!

The itinerary was very well paced with good start times each morning that never felt too rushed. The accommodations were spacious, clean, and comfortable throughout the trip, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Having all the details organized made for a very relaxing and stress-free tour.

This journey through Ecuador showcases its dramatic landscapes, unique wildlife, and warm local culture. What makes it especially compelling is the opportunity to experience the country as locals do, staying in locally run accommodations rather than traditional cruises, particularly in the Galapagos, offers a more authentic and often overlooked perspective. The Galapagos feels incredibly safe and close‑knit, with a strong sense of community that stands out alongside the extraordinary wildlife.

From beginning to end this was a fabulous holiday! The ship and its crew were amazing. Spotlessly clean and always attentive 5 days aboard this ship was a great pleasure. The food was 5* all the way, delicious and plentiful, with frequent snacks and creative juices at every break. The tour was well paced with loads of activities, hiking and snorkeling and informative talks. The naturalist guide, Carlos, was one of the best. Enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable, he is passionate about the Galapagos and maintaining it pristine qualities. Wild life was abundant and snorkelling with fish, turtles and even penguins.. it was a trip of a life time. The chef was very attentive to my restrictive diet, being celiac. Did I mention the food??? First class all the way!

I recently returned from the Belize Reef & Ruins trip, and it was an unforgettable experience. The incredible wildlife and the rich local history truly blew me away. Visiting the Mayan temples was a highlight, especially Lamanai, which felt very special. All of the sites being less crowded than expected, you could really immerse yourself and imagine how life might have been centuries ago. I also want to commend our excellent guide, George. His deep knowledge and engaging storytelling brought the history and culture to life for our group, making the entire journey even more meaningful. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment and would highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a mix of nature, history, and adventure.

It was an amazing trip with the best contiki trip manager! Couldn't have asked for a better trip and first time overseas. Made a heap of friends, did almost all the add on activities which I couldn't recommend doing enough! Learnt some of the local language and really got immersed in it all! Only thing with dietary requirements is it makes pre ordering meals very difficult as most menus don't say what is gluten/dairy free or not and next time I would take a card saying dietary requirements in the local language so they can understand
