What health conditions should a person be in while exploring the islands?
While you don’t need to be an athlete to cruise and explore the Galapagos, you should be in good physical shape. Getting in and out of rafts for shore landings takes some effort. Also, keep in mind the islands’ irregular volcanic terrain, as this may include some challenging outings and walks. Galapagos is not a trip where nightlife shines out. Instead, wildlife shines out. Therefore, we suggest you leave expensive jewelry at home and anything that may create an emotional and/or financial hardship if lost or anything that reminds you of home too much. Travel protection/insurance is highly recommended.
