Galapagos visitors are truly delighted with an activity that can really turn into a realm of great encounters: the marine world of the Galápagos. Few devote time to the marine environment. However, in the past ten years, and more so since the declaration by UNESCO of the Galápagos Marine Reserve as a World Natural Heritage Site, the marine resources are gradually subscribing more devotees. All marine-related activities have now taken a very important space in the human development, tour operators, and regional conservation. Throughout the year, snorkeling is one of the regular programs offered at Galapagos Islands. We must remember that during the Dry Season, local climate conditions are not totally tropical. Therefore, in these months snorkeling remains as one of regula Galapagos Diving and snorkeling programs. The visitors must enjoy and be fully prepared to stay in the water for longer periods of time, and that this experience generates higher satisfaction standards.

What if in those moments of feeling cold you miss the sea lions, or tropical fish, penguins, and even sharks? Wouldn’t you regret not having a wet suit with you? With this simple aid we are ready to discover more of the ocean. And, of course, we are ready to say Viva Snorkeling!
