Galapagos land tours are an excellent option for active travellers and wildlife enthusiasts who prefer not to sleep on board a boat while exploring the Galapagos. On this guided tour, travel to the less-visited areas of the Galapagos islands at your own pace.
This guided tour takes you to explore the islands of Santa Cruz, North Seymour, Española and San Cristobal from a different perspective than usual. You can walk with the Galapagos tortoises at the Santa Cruz highlands, swim with hammerhead sharks, sea turtles, octopuses and an array of tropical fish at Kicker's Rock and spot marine iguanas and waved albatross at one of their only known nesting sites.

Variety of food could have been more varied, smash at every meal and the same green salad. but the food was all well prepared and tasty. i liked the trip very much and would recommend it. the pre trip info pack needs review it offer inaccurate and out of date information.

Could not recommend this trip more strongly—Oswaldo was a phenomenal guide, and we got to see so many different animals and island landscapes. While I would have loved to stay for a longer tour, 5 days and 4 nights on the boat allowed us to see all of the highlights of the Galapagos. The crew was excellent, my travel group was so much fun, and everything we saw and did was absolutely incredible. Absolute 10/10 trip!!

Visiting the Galapagos Islands had been at the top of my wish list for as long as I can remember and this trip was everything I'd dreamt of. Every day brought special, close-up encounters with magnificent animals - male frigatebirds displaying their bright red chests, sea lions stretched out on the beach nursing their young pups or cheekily hitching a ride on the back of our boat and pairs of blue-footed boobies engaged in a courtship dance. The Archipel 1 is modern, spotlessly clean, spacious and comfortable with a friendly, hard-working and efficient crew. The food is excellent in quality, quantity and variety. The boat has the capacity for 16 guests, which enables everyone to get to know one another.

The western islands itinerary in the Galapagos aboard the Reina Silvia with Omar Medina as our guide was one of the best trips I've taken, in more than 50 countries over the past 25 years. We saw incredible wildlife - at least 1 or 2 new species each day! - and spectacular landscapes, and we really had time to explore in different ways and take it all in. Omar and the crew of the Reina Silvia took such good care of us in every way and made our adventure safe, fun and memorable. Our group of 16 was fantastic - we've made some true friends, and are already making plans to see each other again. I can't recommend this trip highly enough... just wish there was an option for smaller meal portions (for those of us who are smaller people), since I felt bad wasting such delicious food. The trip was epic, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat!
