Dawn on San Cristóbal arrives with a salt tang that licks the hotel rooftop where the group gathers for its first coffee. Pelicans quarter the water below and the town’s fishermen move with the steady calm of people who work with tides instead of against them. Over seven days the itinerary folds between kitchens, coastal boats and volcanic ridgelines — a deliberate rhythm of tasting, walking and snorkeling that introduces the archipelago by palate and by path.

Adventure Tips
Bring a personal snorkel mask
Snorkel equipment is provided, but a well-fitted mask improves visibility and comfort in varying sea conditions.
Protect against the sun
Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a wide-brim hat and sunglasses—equatorial sun and reflective water increase UV exposure.
Mind the park rules
Stay on marked paths, keep a respectful distance from animals and follow guide instructions to minimize disturbance.
Plan for motion and timing
Inter-island speedboats and short flights are frequent; pack a small day bag and anti-nausea remedies if you’re prone to seasickness.
