Onboard fitness and relaxation facilities

Each yacht offers a fitness room for exercise, a hot tub for evening relaxation following activity-filled days, and a solarium for sun exposure. These onboard amenities provide recovery and wellness during the seven-night cruise, especially valuable given the daily physical demands of exploration activities.

Water-based activities

Kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding are primary activities, with equipment provided and naturalist guides leading excursions through secret coves and colorful beaches. Snorkeling expeditions introduce travelers to native marine species including sea turtles, sea lions, and marine iguanas, using equipment supplied by Ecoventura. Glass-bottom boat tours are available for wildlife viewing without water entry. Panga (inflatable) boat tours explore the islands' mangrove areas and sea caves with minimal environmental impact.

Land-based exploration and guided nature activities

Daily walking excursions led by local expert guides traverse lava fields, mountainous landscapes, and secluded beaches. Nature hiking trails and beach walks are conducted in small groups to minimize ecosystem impact. Birdwatching and dolphin and whale watching are included as daily tour activities. Activities for children are offered, allowing families to participate together in age-appropriate excursions.
