Paddle a transparent-hulled sea kayak through the ghostly white-sand lagoons and mangrove tunnels of Cerro Brujo, consistently rated among the most pristine beaches in the Galápagos archipelago.
What to expect
A short boat transfer brings you to the remote northern coast of San Cristóbal, where you'll launch stable sit-on-top kayaks into glassy turquoise shallows. Paddle through cathedral-like mangrove channels alive with golden cownose rays beneath the hull. Land on the bone-white beach of Cerro Brujo — often completely deserted — for a gourmet picnic prepared by your guide. Snorkeling gear is on hand for a spontaneous reef exploration before the return transfer.
Good to know
No kayaking experience needed; guides brief all guests on technique. Full-day excursion (~7 hrs); confirm all-aboard carefully. Reef-safe sunscreen only — park rules strictly enforced. Book direct at least 10 days ahead.
