Galapagos SUP & Snorkel Expedition

 

Are you ready for the adventure of a lifetime?

ABOUT THIS TRIP

Join us for an extraordinary week of stand-up paddle boarding, snorkelling and exploration in the breathtaking Galápagos Islands. Glide across crystal-clear waters alongside playful sea lions and graceful sea turtles, snorkel with rays, reef sharks, and marine iguanas, and hike volcanic landscapes teeming with iconic wildlife—think blue-footed boobies, Darwin’s finches, and giant tortoises.

This SUP and Snorkel adventure is your chance to turn a bucketlist dream into reality. You’ll discover the wonders of the Galápagos with a crew of like-minded explorers, all guided by a certified Galápagos Naturalist and experienced Tour Leaders and SUP hosts who bring the journey to life.

This trip is designed for active paddlers who are confident covering distances of up to 10 km on a SUP and comfortable snorkelling without assistance. We will be holding this trip ONCE in April 2026, and bookings open July 2025.

We can’t wait for you to join us!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • That’s perfect!! She SUPs trips and retreats are designed with single travellers in mind and we actually ENCOURAGE single travellers to book in alone rather than finding a friend to bring as you’re likely to get way more out of the trip. 90% of our attendees book in without knowing anyone. We guarantee that within the safe supportive environment that She SUPs cultivates, by the end of the weekend you’ll leave having had an awesome time with some new water-loving friends!

    If you wish to travel with a friend, please note we do not allow friend groups of more than 3 people to attend our trips.

  • To make it easier to understand what’s in store for a trip, we rate our trips on a 0-4 Fitness Rating.

    This trip is a level 3 rated trip as it’s a fairly active trip featuring SUP, snorkelling, swimming and a walk up a volcano.

  • To make it easier to understand what’s in store for a trip, we rate our trips on a 0-4 SUP Ability Rating.

    This trip is a Level 3 - Intermediate Paddlers due to one SUP adventure we will be embarking on which is 10km.

  • With all outdoor based trips and retreats, the final itinerary is always weather dependent. The weather forecast will be monitored daily (and in many circumstances hourly) by your instructors, and our itinerary will be adjusted each day to make the most of the forecast.

    We ask you to understand that we cannot offer a refund if the itinerary is different to your expectations or any itineraries referenced on the She SUPs website.

    If we need to change an activity due to the weather or other forces outside of our control, you can guarantee that our team will be working hard to ensure you still have an action-packed weekend.

  • She SUPs Trips are open to all women (and non-binary individuals) over the age of 18. Typically most guests are between the ages of 25 - 70, but there is no maximum age limit.

    When we’re out exploring on our trips, age becomes irrelevant as the whole group always bonds over their shared experiences and love of the outdoors regardless of the year they were born!

  • We will share this information with you upon booking.

  • We recommend that all adventurers arrive at least a day early in Ecuador before this trip, to prevent delays but also help you cope with the jet lag!!

    Upon booking we can share recommendations of where to stay and what to do while in Ecuador.

  • She SUPs aims to offer a mix of shared and private rooms on each trip.

    Many light sleepers or snorers choose to book a private room.

    We offer shared rooms as a way of making trips more affordable and accessible to all. All shared rooms feature individual beds for each individual so you will never be required to a share a bed.

    For many women, sharing a room with others is a new experience (or something they haven’t experienced since their teens!) But fear not, 9 times out of 10, it’s absolutely fine as an adult too.

    If you’re a light sleeper and sharing a room, please let us know before arrival so we are aware. You host will have ear plugs in case of snorers, and we advise that you bring anything else that may help you sleep better such as your favourite pillow, an eye mask, a heat pack, lavender oil, chamomile tea etc.

    After hosting hundreds of women on our trips, we have found that some guests don’t sleep very well on the first night as they are often subconsciously apprehensive about the weekend. But once they relax into the retreat and we’re keeping active every day, they sleep soundly every night! Please keep your host notified of your sleep patterns if you’re not getting much sleep. There will be plenty of nap opportunities during the day time too.

  • Allergies and intolerances will be passed onto our Galapagos team however please note, options may be limited.

    We do not have control over restaurants or cafes we visit during the trip, so please inform waitstaff of your allergies and intolerances at the time of visiting.

  • Travel insurance is compulsory for this trip, so your travel insurance should cover you if you need to cancel for illness or other reasons.

    We will be sharing full cancellation terms and conditions for this trip upon booking.
