The only Galapagos Islands Adventure that includes camping on two island beaches and exploration by sea kayak. See wildlife up close while paddling, hike to an active volcano, snorkel with fish and sea lions and much more...

Fly to Baltra in the Galapagos, ferry across the Itabaca Channel to Santa Cruz, then drop off your bags at your hotel in Puerto Ayora. We'll let you loose to explore the island! This town is not only home to the legendary Charles Darwin Research Station, but its nearby beaches and lagoons are great for snorkeling and diving. Try a day trip to nearby islands for a glimpse of the Galapagos wildlife, meet newfound friends for dinner at a restaurant on Darwin Avenue, or just find a hammock to lie in and watch the glorious sunsets.

After a short Galapagos cruise, what's a better way to end your trip than a few days helping the people of the islands? Myths and Mountains, in conjunction with a local nonprofit agency, is looking for professionals in the fields of medicine, education, and computer sciences to volunteer their expertise and time while staying in Puerto Ayora. Help out at the health clinic, tutor English to children, or teach basic computer skills at a newly-built lab. Walk the talk and practice true sustainable tourism, Myths and Mountains style.

Venture each day from your 20-passenger luxury yacht with a skilled naturalist to a new island and get up close and personal with the stunning terrain and fearless exotic creatures that make the Galapagos their home. Walk volcanic trails and hike to the top of an inactive volcano. Come nose to nose with a 150-year-old tortoise, snorkel alongside penguins and watch as a blue-footed booby dances in courtship
