The Galapagos is a dream destination for any nature lover, but how you experience it makes all the difference. Most travelers explore the islands on large ships with dozens of passengers, all landing onshore in big groups. For those who prefer a more active and intimate experience, our journey offers a unique and secluded encounter with the islands and their incredible wildlife, thanks to our special kayaking permits and small group size. Here’s why this Galapagos adventure is truly one-of-a-kind:

Thanks to permits we obtained decades ago when we pioneered kayaking in the Galapagos, NemoFleet has special permission from Galapagos National Park to offer guided kayak excursions far beyond the standard options available to most visitors. From your kayak, you’ll explore the waters and coastline up close, spotting seabirds, sea turtles, and more from a truly unique perspective.

NEMO II with 12 guests led by two certified Galapagos National Park Guides.
NEMO III with 16 guests led by two certified Galapagos National Park Guides,  we offer the smallest group size in the Galapagos. Most boat tours have one naturalist guide for every 16 guests. This allows us the flexibility to offer different activities at the same time, such as kayaking along the shore or deepwater snorkeling. Each group is always accompanied by a highly qualified guide to ensure a personal and enriching experience.

Our motorsailing catamarans, Nemo III – Nemo II are the perfect vessels for this adventure. Sleek, sporty, and comfortable, it’s ideal for travelers who seek a more personal and adventurous experience. With a small crew and two expert naturalist guides, the catamaran offers a high level of flexibility. We can quickly navigate between locations, allowing more time for kayaking, snorkeling, or exploring on land.

NemoFleet is proud to work with the best naturalist guides, known for their deep knowledge and passion. In the Galapagos, our expert Expedition Leaders average over 15 years of guiding experience. They receive additional training from top scientists, further enhancing your adventure and ensuring an unforgettable learning experience.

Unlike most Galapagos tours, our itinerary is designed to keep you active every day. With special kayaking permits, we paddle far more than other tours, which usually offer only limited kayaking opportunities. Each day, you’ll also have the chance to snorkel and hike, offering a rich and varied perspective on the islands’ incredible biodiversity.

Snorkeling in the Galapagos is a highlight, with sea lions, sea turtles, rays, dolphins, and penguins frequently swimming in the waters. On large tours, however, you may find yourself surrounded by more snorkelers than marine life. With our small groups, you’re guaranteed a more personal and secluded snorkeling experience, with dedicated attention from your guide.

Ecuador may be small, but it’s one of the most geographically diverse countries in the world. As part of your adventure, we include a visit to Quito, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, you’ll discover rich colonial history, beautiful churches, and a unique blend of European, Moorish, and indigenous influences.

We understand that the right gear can make all the difference. That’s why we provide high-quality kayaks and snorkeling equipment to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the trip.

Enjoy a variety of soft drinks throughout your trip, completely free of charge. Plus, as part of our commitment to enhancing your dining experience, we offer complimentary wine with dinner every evening. It’s the perfect way to unwind and savor the flavors of the region, all included at no extra cost!

With over 34 years of experience in the travel industry and more than 10 years of successfully operating kayak cruises in the Galapagos, Nemo Fleet is dedicated to delivering an exceptional adventure. Our guarantee reflects our confidence in providing a top-tier experience, built on decades of expertise. You can trust that your Galapagos journey will meet the highest standards, backed by our deep knowledge and commitment to excellence. Set sail with Nemo Fleet, knowing you’re in expert hands.

We believe in giving back to the places we visit, and part of that commitment is supporting local artisans. As a special gift, each guest receives an authentic Panama hat, handcrafted by skilled Ecuadorian artisans. By choosing Nemo Fleet, you not only enjoy a memorable adventure but also help sustain local traditions and communities.
