Here a personal tip: book your package, hotel, cruise etc., in advance in order to guarantee your own space because there are seasons where is almost impossible to find a free space to stay. My choose tour was based on diversity of activities that this trip offered such as kayaking, hiking and snorkeling. My vivid memories are around kayaking because I love it and I was really close from sea turtles, also many playful sea lions swam next to our group and blue footed boobies where hunting very close from us. Hiking was not extreme and our guide took us slowly and he took his time to explain everything and gave us space take pictures from this wonderful place. Snorkeling was a great surprise because sea lions where so curious about us sometimes they touched us with their noses fearless wonderful nature, simply amazing.
An important change that had suffered the islands is the interest from the locals authorities and people to preserved these islands and for instance, many fishermen had change their activities for another like selling souvenirs, preparing delicious typical dishes or offering a friendly sustainable fishing activity without destroying their environment.
