Sunday: Baltra and North Seymour

You will arrive at the Baltra Airport where an organized transfer to Puerto Ayora will be waiting for you. After settling in your cabin and having lunch on board, you are ready to start the cruise's first visit!


PM-North Seymour:  A beautiful place to start our tour, located in the north of Baltra with a typical vegetation of the Arid Zone. We will have a dry landing to a small peer which sometimes is a bit tricky due to the waves. Dry landing means you will go from the Yacht to the zodiac and onto the island while staying completely dry.

The trail goes from a small peer to the rocky coast and is full of surprises: sea lions, swallow-tailed gulls, sally lightfoot crabs, and marine iguanas. Then we will walk through the nesting area of blue-footed boobies and frigate birds.


After admiring North Seymour at its fullest we go back to the Angelito yacht to have dinner and a good night sleep!

Monday: Chinese Hat and Bartholomew

AM-Chinese Hat: We will start the day with a delicious early breakfast on board. Afterwards we will land at the Chinese Hat island which is just around the corner of the Santiago island. The shape of this volcanic island looks like a Chinese hat, therefore the scenery is very charming.

The wet landing will take place on a small, white coral beach with lots of sea lions. (Wet landing means you will get the lower part of your body wet while exiting the zodiac).

The smooth and short trail leads along the coast with very fragile lava. There are a lot of small lava tubes and tiny but very attractive vegetation. 

In this island we have the first snorkeling activity of the week! Highly recommendable, even if you have never done it before!


PM-Bartholomew: After having lunch on board, we will have a dry landing on Bartolome island where you will get a spectacular view from the top of the island and the opportunity to snorkel around the pinnacle rock. During the late afternoon we will take a dinghy ride to look out for Galapagos penguins. They live and nest in the lava tubes.

Tuesday: Darwin Bay and Prince Phillip's Steps (Genovesa Island)

AM - Genovesa, Darwin Bay: After having breakfast, we will wet land on Genovesa Island. The trail follows the shore vegetation of red mangrove, saltbush, and the unique prickly pear cactus. Swallow-tailed gulls, red-footed boobies, Nazca Boobies and magnificent frigate birds use to nest here. 

The trail leads along small tidepools up to the cliff with a spectacular view over the caldera. There are thousands of Galapagos fiddler crabs in the sandy ground. Finally, you will get the chance to do a snorkeling activity.


PM - Prince Phillip's Step: After lunch on board, we will dry land on Prince Phillips's Steps where you will have the opportunity to climb the steep balsamic cliff. 

The trail takes us to a small nesting colony of masked boobies and crosses a low and dense forest of palo santo trees where red-footed boobies have their nests. Arriving at the edge of the island, thousands of small petrels fly around! These little birds have their nests in the fragile lava crevices and tubes. They are the short-eared owl's favorite food, so we should keep our eyes open to spot the hunter, though it is not easy because of their camouflage! 

We end the day tour with a panga ride at the cliff's foot, then dinner on board and rest.

Wednesday: Egas Port and Rabida

AM- Egas Port, Santiago Island: After breakfast on board, we will wet land on a black beach at Egas Port, an amazing place to find unique fauna such as lava herons, Galapagos sea lions, sally lightfoot crabs and marine iguanas. At the end, we will visit the Fur Seal Grotto, where fur seals live inside caves of the rocky lava coast. Back to the yacht for lunch.


PM- Rabida: Our next activity takes place at Rabida island, characterized by its red sand beach, silvery palo Santo trees and saltbush vegetation. Here we will look at one of the biggest Galapagos sea lion colony and depending on the season flamingos and white cheeked pintail ducks. Finally, a snorkel activity is available here. Back to the yacht to have dinner and rest!

Thursday: Charles Darwin Station and Santa Cruz

AM- Santa Cruz Island, Puerto Ayora and Charles Darwin Research Station: Puerto Ayora is a small charm town, the largest in the Galapagos and the head of tourism. There are several hotels, bars, restaurants, banks, small shops and a hospital.  In Puerto Ayora there are also the Galapagos National Park's offices and the Charles Darwin Research Station.

On the last day, after having breakfast on board we will visit the Charles Darwin Station to learn about scientific efforts to protect the National Park, specially giant tortoises programs. The vegetation on the way to the Station and back is exuberant green, and Darwin's finches are easy to spot.


Afterwards, we will take you to the Itabaca Channel from where you will go to the airport to flight back to Ecuador!
