Physical Requirements: Moderate to Challenging
This is an active adventure with early mornings and full days of varied activities. General fitness and mobility are required to fully enjoy the experience. You should be comfortable walking at least 3 miles over uneven terrain. Kayaking experience is required, but participants should be prepared to learn. Our guides will provide instruction, but participation may be limited if minimum ability levels are not met.
Activities include:
Hiking: Mainland and island hikes, some over rough and uneven terrain, with trails sometimes crossing lava fields or slippery rocks.
Elevation Considerations
The first two nights are spent in Quito at an altitude of 9,400 feet, which may cause altitude-sickness symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and nausea. We recommend hydrating and resting to manage these effects. Consult your doctor if you’re concerned about altitude sickness and would like to bring medication.
Custom or Private Departures
For private or smaller group trips, we provide a tailored experience based on your group size. Depending on the number of passengers, we will assign either 1 or 2 guides to ensure the best experience.
Essential Trip Information
The Galapagos Islands are an unmatched destination for nature travelers. With an abundance of friendly and unique wildlife, this journey offers an incredible opportunity to experience nature’s wonders up close. NemoFleet prides itself on offering the most immersive and intimate Galapagos adventure available. Our small group size, one of the lowest guide-to-guest ratios in the Galapagos, ensures a personalized and enriching experience for every traveler.
Our catamaran, Nemo II, accommodates around 12 guests & Nemo III, accommodates around 16 guests, led by our guides and supported by a dedicated sailing crew. This trip includes daily opportunities for kayaking, snorkeling, and hiking, providing a well-rounded and active experience of the Galapagos’ stunning flora and fauna.

Age Limit for Kayaking Trips
We recommend a minimum age of 12 years for this adventure due to the physical demands of the activities. However, parents or guardians are encouraged to assess whether their child is suited to the trip without affecting the group’s experience. Children under seven are not permitted on scheduled departures for safety and group dynamics reasons.
