Snorkeling & Glass Bottom Boat

Snorkeling & Glass Bottom Boat Galapagos Tours

Adventure Galapagos Tourism Close to Shore


There is something to be said for viewing marine life close to shore, imagining sea life’s next advance on land while on a Galapagos Island Vacation!  You can just imagine Charles Darwin’s mind planning his depiction of evolution.

Galapagos tours include for some the opportunity to be closer, more intimate with nature by snorkeling, without having to conduct deeper dives or possess the expertise or licenses.  Galapagos Explorer II facilitates just such convenience in a minimally invasive manner to experience the plethora of the underwater world as part of your Galapagos Islands travels.

Snorkeling provides a ‘swimming with the dolphins’ kind of experience for any age, with minimal training.  Besides dolphins, you might see angel fish, manta rays, or reef sharks.  Your Galapagos island vacation might also include viewing parrotfish, or damselfish, possibly a sea turtle or two – all in less than six feet of water.

The areas of Rabida, Punta Vicente Roca, or Gardner Bay are known for their large schools of fish, crystal clear waters, amid numerous species of additional sea life.  The Galapagos Island travels to this remote part of the globe, facilitates an adrenalin rush as you’ve never experienced before when you become immersed in sea life that surrounds you.  It is extraordinary in adventure travel, to be sure.

And, for those looking for a tame Galapagos island tour experience, the glass bottom boats are a very sweet alternative.  Even if you include the boats as part of your overall package before or after snorkeling, the glass bottom boat provides a different perspective of the richness of the Galapagos underwater world.

For any age, the glass bottom boats allow swimmers and non-swimmers alike the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the astonishing beauty in any season.  You might catch a lazy sea lion as it approaches shore.  Or the quick eels slithering close to the glass.  No matter the species, whether its snorkeling or glass bottom boating, the shallower underwater world of your Galapagos island vacations is bound to take your breath away, when you feel truly involved with nature in this manner.
