Transfer service takes you to the airport for your morning flight to San Cristóbal, Galápagos. Rick will meet you at the airport here in San Cristóbal. We’ll get you checked in, oriented a little, have some lunch then we’ll go fishing with locals.
This is a trip out with the local fishermen where they’ll explain/discuss how they fished in the past, what’s happened to the fisheries, what’s happening now and then you’ll go catch some fish for the night’s meal which you will have with the fisherman’s family. We were pioneers in developing this fishing with locals program with the National Park. The commercial fishermen must give up their commercial fishing license irrevocably to be able to have the license to take visitors out fishing. For the environment this means instead of harvesting thousands of fish a year to survive, they only harvest hundreds, all of which are eaten here thus also reducing the carbon footprint of importing or exporting food. For the fishermen themselves this allows them direct contact with people from outside the Galápagos (one of our “hearts” is sponsoring a fisherman’s son to study in the US) and for our visitors it allows them a glimpse into a different lifestyle and a firsthand account of the history of life in the Galapagos
Important Note: You will need $100 in cash for each person when entering the Galápagos. You also will have needed to purchase a Galápagos entry card for $20 each before you go to the airline check in counter. This is included in the quote so you don't have to worry about this. Our guide will be in charge of making sure you have everything you need to get to San Cristóbal.
Accommodation: On San Cristóbal, you will be staying at Seaside Hotel - Miconia. Suzanna will be making you breakfast. The property is located within easy walking distance of several snorkel sites, the interpretation center, and all of the restaurants in town.
