Sea Kayaking the Mangroves of Cerro Brujo

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.
