Galapagos Islands
EcuadorDAY 1 (PM): On Bartolome Island, you'll be greeted with stunning views from an altitude of 114 meters, where you can take in the iconic volcanic cones, craters that resemble the moon, and expansive lava fields. The island is also home to the famous Pinnacle Rock, a dramatic formation sculpted by the sea. As you explore, you'll encounter two beautiful beaches where marine turtles reside, and if you're lucky, you may spot a small colony of Galapagos penguins at the base of the Pinnacle. 4 hours • Admission Ticket FreeView Location2
Galapagos Islands
EcuadorDAY 2 (AM): Between North Seymour and Baltra lies Mosquera Islet, one of the smallest islands in the Galápagos. Its volcanic origin has created a flat landscape without a visible crater. As you explore, you'll be captivated by the striking contrast of colors—pristine white sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, vibrant green vegetation, and dark black lava rocks. This is the perfect spot for landscape photography, especially during the golden hours of early morning or sunset.4 hours • Admission Ticket FreeView Location3
Galapagos Islands
EcuadorDAY 2 (PM): On North Seymour, a raised island with a rocky, flat terrain, you'll find excellent nesting sites for magnificent frigatebirds. As you explore, you'll also witness the famous courtship dance of blue-footed boobies in the open areas, while swallow-tailed gulls rest along the cliff edges. Even with the strong surf crashing on the outer shore, sea lions can be seen lounging on the beach or playfully body-surfing in the waves.4 hours • Admission Ticket FreeView Location4
Galapagos Islands
EcuadorDAY 3 (AM): At El Barranco, on Genovesa Island's southern Darwin Bay, you'll follow a 1.5 km trail over volcanic rock, which takes about two hours to complete. This geologically young area features cliffs of fragile lava, where natural erosion has created ideal nesting spots for Storm Petrels. You'll spot two species of petrels nesting in the lava's cavities and may even catch sight of their predator, the short-eared owl. The island is also home to red-footed boobies, found only in the outer islands of the archipelago, as well as masked boobies. As you ride along the cliffs in a "panga," you'll encounter fur sea lions and various seabird species.4 hours • Admission Ticket FreeView Location5
Galapagos Islands
EcuadorDAY 3 (PM): This bay was formed when the island's crater collapsed below sea level, and you'll arrive with a wet landing on a stunning white coral beach. It's a birdwatcher's paradise, offering the chance to see species like red-footed and masked boobies, wandering tattlers, lava gulls, whimbrels, herons, and yellow warblers. As you continue along the trail, you'll gradually ascend to the cliff’s edge, where you'll spot red-footed boobies nesting in the mangroves below. Along the way, you may also see sharp-beaked finches, cactus and ground finches, Galapagos doves, and swallow-tailed gulls. At the trail’s end, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the island and its abundant birdlife.4 hours • Admission Ticket FreeView Location6
Galapagos Islands
EcuadorDAY 4 (AM): Plazas Island, located east of Santa Cruz, is one of the two Islas Plazas and, despite its small size, is home to some of the Galapagos' most fascinating wildlife. You'll encounter land iguanas, which are smaller than those on other islands, as well as unique hybrid iguanas—crosses between male marine iguanas and female land iguanas. These hybrids are easily recognizable by their black and grey color, land iguana crests, and marine iguana-like faces and tails. The large iguana population thrives here due to the abundance of tunas, their favorite food. As you explore the island, you'll also see swallow-tailed gulls nesting in the rugged cliffs, along with seabirds such as Audubon shearwaters, red-billed tropicbirds, frigate birds, and brown pelicans.4 hours • Admission Ticket FreeView Location7
Galapagos Islands
EcuadorDAY 4 (PM): Santa Fe Island, located in the southeastern Galapagos, was formed by geological uplift, making it mostly flat and possibly the oldest island in the archipelago. As you explore, you'll encounter several endemic species, including the Galapagos hawk, snake, mockingbird, rice rats, and one of the two species of land iguanas. After disembarking in the island's beautiful, clear waters, you'll come across a sea lion colony. Along the trail, you'll see salt bushes and giant prickly pear cacti, a notable example of island gigantism. Snorkeling here offers the chance to swim alongside playful sea lions and tropical fish.4 hours • Admission Ticket FreeView LocationMeeting and Pickup
