Slip beneath the surface at Champion Islet — one of the Galápagos' most celebrated snorkel sites — for kaleidoscopic reef fish, resident sea lions, and graceful Green Sea Turtles gliding in crystal visibility. Bucket-list marine life, utterly concentrated.
What to expect
The panga motors to the sunken volcanic rim of Champion Islet, where underwater visibility commonly exceeds 15 m. Sea lions torpedo past your mask in playful arcs while sergeant-major fish and King Angelfish school around you in bold colour. Green Sea Turtles are a near-certain sighting; White-tipped Reef Sharks patrol the deeper ledges. Your naturalist briefs you topside and stays in the water throughout, pointing out endemic species you'd otherwise swim straight past.
Good to know
Wetsuit hire included or available; water temperature 20–24°C depending on season — a 3 mm shorty is comfortable. Confirm your ship's all-aboard and book a morning slot for calmer conditions and better light. Pre-booking essential: https://galapagosbluesky.com/floreana-enderby-tour/
