Its rugged terrain and marine life-filled waters are like an open-air classroom for discovering the wonders of the natural world and the possibilities of sustainable tourism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ways&nbsp;to&nbsp;Discover&nbsp;the&nbsp;Galapagos&nbsp;in&nbsp;2020<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soak up the staggering beauty of the coast while stand-up paddleboarding or take to two wheels to explore the lush interior. You can spend your days hiking across ribbon-like volcanic flows and kayaking beneath towering pillars before donning a snorkel and mask to come face-to-face with inquisitive sea lions and friendly turtles. Iconic bird species like the blue-footed booby, waved albatross and Galapagos penguin call the islands \u201chome\u201d, as do multi-colored marine iguanas and giant tortoises that seem as though they are from another age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.galakiwi.com\/our-tours\/galapagos-paddle-board-tour\">Paddle Board Tours<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.galakiwi.com\/our-tours\/galapagos-bike-tour-10-days\">Biking Tour<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.galakiwi.com\/our-tours\/land-galapagos-tour-6-days\">Hiking Tours<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.galakiwi.com\/our-tours\/galapagos-adventure-tour-10-days\">Kayak &amp; Multisport Tours<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/www.galakiwi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/hr_DSD_9724-galapagos-sup-tour-500x400-3.jpg\" alt=\"stand up paddling in the galapagos\" class=\"wp-image-883\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galakiwi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/hr_DSD_9724-galapagos-sup-tour-500x400-3.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.galakiwi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/hr_DSD_9724-galapagos-sup-tour-500x400-3-300x240.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption>Stand-Up Paddle Boarding in the Galapagos Islands<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Responsibly&nbsp;Travel&nbsp;in&nbsp;2020<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a point in time where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galakiwi.com\/about-galakiwi\/about-us\/green-travel\">responsible travel is more important than ever<\/a>, the Galapagos Islands have played a pioneering role in defining what this means.
