This tour is a unique offering, oriented to the traveler interested in the most authentic tour possible at a reasonable price. This tour includes the opportunity to interact with former fishermen and learn about the traditional occupation of the islanders, and there’s a day of volunteering to help restore native species on the islands. Hotels chosen are first class, but among the most ecologically responsible on the islands. We'll visit many of the eastern islands of the archipelago; for those who want to have a complete experience on the islands, add an 8 day cruise of the western islands on one of the most responsibly operated yachts, such as one of the Tip Top fleet.

The most popular months for visitors tend to be June, July and August, alongside December and January. In terms of climate, bear in mind that it can be a little unpredictable so far from any land mass, but generally speaking December to May is the sunniest period, although there will be some rain. Low season - June to November - brings slightly cooler temperatures, overcast skies and less rainfall. Divers prefer the cooler, cloudier period because the colder water brings even more diverse marine life to the islands.
