CNH Tours has been chartering the Samba for our signature ACTIVE GALAPAGOS trip since 2005.  Designed for those who are keen on getting the absolute most out of their time in the islands.  Up early, and out on the water / land until late in the day (with a few breaks for siesta and meals), you'll spend more time exploring above and below the sea, accompanied by top naturalist guides and a very attentive crew.   

AM I FIT ENOUGH?  Almost certainly yes!  We call it "ACTIVE" because we focus on getting out and about as much as possible.  This doesn't mean we're running uphill marathons or swimming across vast expanses of oceans.   Galapagos is above all a place where the focus is on intimate encounters with nature and wildlife.  And that's done by walking slowly, stopping frequently, and taking the time to develop a sense of place - something our naturalist guides are very good at helping you with.  

We don't ask that you be an Olympic athlete - but you should be up to walking 1-2 kilometers (1-1.5 miles) over a 1-2 hour stretch of time on wilderness trails that can be uneven at times.  To get the most out of your trip, you should also be willing to snorkel - underwater Galapagos is a big part of the thrill.
