Las Grietas Expedition

PERSONALIZED ISLAND-HOPPING TOURS SUPPORTING COMMUNITY-BASED TOURISM

"What we enjoyed most about our trip was the opportunity to set our own schedule and spend time doing the things we enjoyed. From scuba diving with hammerheads to playing on the beach to having a romantic dinner at a favorite local restaurant, we did it all and at our own pace.

Jill and Javier were superb tour guides when we needed that, and knew how to step back and point us in the right direction when we wanted to do our own thing. We couldn't have imagined a better vacation!"

Galapagos Alternative Tours and Island Hopping

Hike through enormous cacti and over the lava rock formations to one of the most unique swimming holes on the planet. Las Grietas, which translates literally to mean "the cracks," is a geologic formation unique to volcanic islands. This deep brackish canal forms between the steep lava rock cliffs on either side. Float blissfully in the cool water -- or get your adrenaline pumping by jumping from the rock ledges.
