Snorkel with wild, playful sea lions in the Galápagos Islands, where curious pups spin around swimmers at some of the most reliable sea lion sites on Earth. Colonies haul out on beaches like Gardner Bay on Española, and all in-water encounters are with a licensed guide, keeping 2 metres back and never touching. They are here year-round, with the clearest snorkelling water from January to May.
