Come for the Fishing - Stay for the Holiday of a Lifetime
The Galapagos islands are justly famous for their unique flora and fauna, as well as the extraordinary diversity of habitats. They have become a destination of choice for discerning tourists who seek something more satisfying than a run-of-the-mill holiday destination.
The waters of the Galapagos Marine Reserve, particularly the banks off Isla San Cristobal are arguably the finest on our planet for Billfish, particularly for Striped Marlin, which abound in spectacular numbers. However, until recently the marine reserve has been completely off-limits for sport-fishing enthusiasts.
Now, thanks to the recently created practice of Pesca Artesanal Vivencial (PAV) or, in English: Artisanal Vivencial Fishing(AVF), fishing enthusiasts can finally enjoy the extraordinary range and abundance of aquatic life that thrives in this unique habitat, while at the same time ensuring that the local fish stocks are protected for future generations
Vivencial Fishing, as it is more conveniently called, is an Ecologically based initiative which provides local fishermen with a tourist-based, sustainable alternative to traditional commercial fishing, with significantly reduced pressure on local species.
Of course, the Galapagos Islands have a lot more to offer besides great fishing. We can make your visit complete with numerous other exploratory and recreational activities, including:
Diving.
Snorkelling.
Surfing.
Island Tours.
Live-aboard Sightseeing or Diving Cruises
Galeodan offers a range of packages, some with the emphasis on Vivencial Fishing, others with emphasis on Sightseeing and other active recreational activities such as Diving, Snorkelling, Surfing and Riding.
