Why snorkeling in Galápagos is unique

Unlike other destinations, Galápagos offers the rare chance to swim in protected marine reserves with little to no human interference. Snorkelers often encounter wildlife that shows little fear of humans, allowing for truly intimate moments with nature. You might see schools of fish darting through volcanic rock, sea turtles gliding peacefully, or even penguins hunting underwater — all in a single outing. The waters are rich due to the convergence of major ocean currents, making every snorkeling session unpredictable and rewarding.
