Therefore, and for the most part of the expeditions, the Galapagos’ islands located within the borders of the National park are accessible through a small boat and with the supervision of a naturalist guide at all times.

In some islands, the boat can get close enough to the shore. However on other times, you could wet your feet in order to get close to the beach shores , in order for your experience to start.

The naturalist guide is going to inform you of the kind of landing you are about to experience prior starting the expedition. Every time that you hear the words “dry landing”, then you will know for sure that you can use your socks and shoes without worry about getting them wet.
