Here, you can witness the awe-inspiring dance of the blue-footed boobies, kayak beside playful sea lions, and snorkel among the vibrant underwater tapestry that thrives beneath the waves. Over the course of 6 to 16 days, explore the volcanic landscapes and the untouched wilderness that make Fernandina a jewel of the Galápagos. With a starting point of $4,000, these tours offer unparalleled opportunities for wildlife viewing, from the iconic Galápagos giant tortoises to the elusive penguins that call this island home.
