About this Trip:

Go beyond the cruise and discover the wild side of the Galápagos—TravelSmiths style! Join Lexi, our in-house Adventure Advisor, as she leads this unforgettable week-long group trip through some of the islands’ less-explored corners.

Our adventure begins on Santa Cruz before we head to a quieter part of Floreana, where fewer visitors venture. Then it’s on to Isabela for days filled with hiking, snorkeling, and incredible wildlife encounters. A hike up Sierra Negra Volcano brings sweeping views and a spectacular finale to an adventure full of discovery.

With Lexi leading the way and a group of fellow adventurers to share the wonder, this is your chance to experience the Galápagos up close. Let’s make some extraordinary memories together!
