Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
Arrive at the San Cristobal airport and transfer to the Millennium.
Begin your Galapagos tour on Isla Lobos (Sea Lion Island) to interact with the sea lions which rest on its shores. Home to blue-footed boobies, great frigatebirds, brown pelicans, lava gulls, common noddies, yellow warblers and small and medium ground finches, the island is also an ideal location for birders. Snorkel with the sea lions and relax on the beach.
Visit León Dormido (Kicker Rock), a distinctive island which features two rocks which jut out of the ocean. This formation is home to a large colony of sea birds. Snorkel with a variety of fish and the occasional Galapagos shark.
Journey to Suarez Point, one of the most significantly wild-life rich locations in the Galapagos archipelago. View marine iguanas and over-sized lava lizards as they sun themselves on the rocks.
In the afternoon, travel to Gardner Bay to snorkel with a variety of fish. Hope to see the occasional turtle or shark which swim in the waters off the island.
Visit Baroness’ Observatory for exceptional views of La Loberia. Learn the history of the island while exploring the lookout.
Sail for Post Office Bay, a sandy beach where past whalers used to leave and receive their letters in a barrel. Take part in the tradition by leaving an addressed postcard in the barrel. Additionally, pick up any letters within close proximity to your home to deliver once you return from the Galapagos.

This was my first experience with Adventure Life - and I couldn't have been more pleased with the trip. The guides and local staff in both Buenos Aires and Uruguay were terrific - extremely helpful and accommodating. I really enjoyed meeting the friendly staff in Buenos Aires in person (I left my bags with them for the afternoon).
Info was accurate and delivered quickly so that a decision could be made. This is my second trip with Adventure Life.

Claudia does an excellent job of communicating. HOWEVER…you paperwork requirements are constipated — a real impediment to doing business. Fire the lawyers or accountants over that.
