Overview

Join Ayumi and embark on an unforgettable journey to the enchanted Galápagos Islands, one of the world’s most extraordinary wildlife destinations and a protected marine sanctuary unlike anywhere else on Earth. This 9-day adventure combines world-class diving, unique wildlife encounters, island exploration, and meaningful connections with one of the planet’s most fascinating ecosystems.

Your journey begins in Quito, Ecuador’s UNESCO-listed capital, before flying to the Galápagos Islands, where you will discover a place where animals have evolved with little fear of humans. From swimming alongside sea turtles, sea lions, sharks, and rays to exploring volcanic landscapes and observing giant tortoises in their natural habitat, every day offers a new encounter with nature.

You will explore multiple islands, including Santa Cruz and San Cristóbal, while experiencing some of the Galápagos’ most famous dive sites, including North Seymour, Mosquera, Gordon Rocks, and León Dormido (Kicker Rock). These waters are home to hammerhead sharks, marine iguanas, manta rays, eagle rays, reef sharks, colorful fish, and countless other species.

Beyond the adventure, this journey supports responsible and sustainable tourism practices that help protect the fragile ecosystems and communities of the Galápagos. This is more than a diving trip - it is an educational and inspiring exploration of one of the most protected marine wilderness areas in the world.

Great Service!!

Adventure Tripr provided me an adventure of a lifetime. I travelled to Ecuador for their Multisport trip. From Day 1 it was a blast. The range of activities and experiences were unmatched. Our food and accommodations were perfectly curated so we could experience all aspects of this beautiful country. When not taking part of a new adventure, we were able to leverage our free time to explore places of interest in Quito and the surrounds. I would go on another Adventure Tripr experience tomorrow - the hard part is which of the many options will be the one.
