April 14, 2012 - You're in safe hands!!

We are happy to to report that two more of our Galakiwi guides, Pepo and Zambo, have just been certified in Wilderness Advanced First Aid.

In keeping with our safety first mentality, we are trying to up the ante for Galapagos safety standards. All guides receive a rudimentary safety "talk" when they are certified by the Galapagos National Park. However at this point in time, the Park requires no formal or certified safety, first aid or CPR training. Thats just not good enough for us.

We started last year by bringing out two NOLS Wilderness Medicine Instructors. Six of our staff were certified at this first time ever safety course in Galapagos. We had also opened up the course to our fellow operators and we were able to certify 5 others, for a grand total of 11.

Now you can rest assured that you will be in the safest hands possible during your Galapagos Adventure with Galakiwi.

Swimming Through A Galapagos Bait Ball

February 28, 2011 - Kicker rock is rockin'!

Each day at Kicker Rock is different and amazing. Last week was particularly amazing. We were able to swim back and forth through the channel about four feet above a dozen or so Galapagos, White Tip, and Black Tip Sharks. There were a few hammerheads cruising around too! They weren't bothered by us at all - they swam from one end to the other and then turned around to go back through again. Wow!
