In the morning, we will take a speedboat to Isabela Island, the largest island in the archipelago and the place where the most volcanic activity in the Galapagos Islands is reported.
The island is formed by six shield volcanoes, Alcedo, Cerro Azul, Darwin, Ecuador, Sierra Negra and Wolf, five of them still active, and therefore the island is one of the places with the highest volcanic activity on earth. During the crossing of our island, we will be attentive to dolphins and whales (from July to October).
In the afternoon, we will have kayaking in Isabela, in this tour before starting; the guide will be waiting for you and will be happy to help you with everything you need. We will pick you up directly from your hotel and transfer to the beautiful pier beach. With a maximum of 10 persons, this small group tour provides a relaxed tourism experience. Practice your kayaking techniques and, once you feel comfortable, exit through the mangrove forests. After your time doing kayak, we can provide you snorkeling equipment to explore the area.

Today, we explore the amazing lava formations created by the last eruptions of the Volcanic Island along the coast. This magical place has been used by the staff of the BBC / National Geographic for their documentaries. It is a labyrinth of lava arcs within the breakers, with crystal clear waters full of huge sea turtles, eagle rays, sea lions, fish, white tip reef sharks and more. The turtles sail on their own road from the mangroves to the open sea through "Los Tuneles". Over here, we will have the best opportunity to dive with all these beautiful animals, including the curious Galapagos penguin playing.
After the trip, you can relax on the exotic white sandy beaches of Isabela Island.
