The boat slips away from Puerto Ayora at first light and the Pacific opens like a challenge: blue, cool, and fast-moving. After roughly 1.5 hours the hull slows and you’re drifting above Pinzón’s reefs — water clear enough to read the reef architecture below, rays cruising like slow shadows and sea lions barking encouragement from a nearby ledge.

Wildlife
History
The Galápagos’ islands record volcanic formation and drew 19th-century scientists whose observations influenced evolutionary theory; modern protections limit visitor impact.
Conservation
Tours operate under Galápagos National Park rules — use reef-safe products, follow guides' boundaries, and practice catch-and-release to reduce local impact.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The Galápagos restricts certain chemicals — use biodegradable sunscreen to protect coral and marine life.
Prepare for seasickness
Take motion-sickness medication before boarding if you’re prone to nausea; open-water stretches can be rough.
Secure cameras and footwear
Bring a wrist strap for cameras and non-slip water shoes for stepping on wet boat decks or rocky beaches.
Respect wildlife distance
Do not touch or chase animals while snorkeling; the crew will brief safe viewing distances and re-entry points.
Mask & snorkel
A well-fitting mask improves visibility and comfort during repeated snorkel sessions.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin and the marine environment from harmful chemicals.
Lightweight wetsuit or rash guard
Provides warmth and sun protection; useful in cooler currents or long swims.
