AM-Cerro Brujo (San Cristobal Island): Wet landing on Cerro Brujo, an eroding tuff cone that is composed of AA lava formations and a beautiful white sandy beach, great for snorkeling and sunbathing. There is a lagoon visit where migratory bird species can be seen: Black-necked Stilts, Ruddy Turnstones, Whimbrels, other sandpiper species and White-cheeked Pintails. Cero Brujo offers beautiful views of Kicker Rock, the southern part of San Cristobal and the vadiacent coast.

PM-Punta Pit (San Cristobal Island):  Wet landing followed by a high-intensity hike on rocky terrain. The trail includes a 90 meters long, olivine beach and a path that climbs to the top of a volcanic tuff, through several magnificent viewpoints. This is probably the only site where the three booby species of the Galapagos can be seen together, as well as, two species of frigate birds and a sea lion colony. It is also excellent for dinghy rides and snorkeling, where a good range of sea birds can be observed.

AM-Punta Suarez (Española Island): Dry landing on Punta Suarez, an island of geological interest, being one of the oldest in Galapagos, it has a high percentage of endemism due to its isolation from the rest of the islands. Due to the great variety of wildlife, this is one of the most attractive spots in the Galapagos. It is possible to explore volcanic formations and see large colonies of sea lion and seabirds including the Española mockingbird, Nazca boobies, red-billed tropicbirds, marine iguanas, lava lizards, and the colorful Sally light-foot crabs. A hike brings visitors to nesting grounds that sometimes overlap the trail. Other birdwatchers favorites include the Galapagos dove, the Galapagos hawk, swallow-tailed gulls and the world's largest colony of waved albatross, an unequivocal highlight during mating season (April-December). Admire the island's dramatic backdrop, featuring the famous "Soplador" a seaward blowhole that shoots water up to 23 m. (75 ft.) into the air.

PM-Gardner Bay, Osborn (Española Island): Wet landing on a beautiful white coral sandy beach guarded by a colony of sea lions. There are no trails, so we stay along the shore where we can spot Galapagos hawks, American Oystercatchers, Galapagos Ground Doves, Hood mockingbirds, Yellow Warblers, Lava lizards, marine iguanas, and three species of Darwin's finches. Swimming and snorkeling offer a great variety of the Galapagos marine wildlife: king angelfish, Creole fish, damsel fish, parrotfish, manta rays, and white-tipped reef sharks.

AM-Cormorant Point (Floreana Island): Wet landing on an olivine green, sanded beach. We hike from the black mangrove beds to a brackish lagoon, which usually holds one of the largest flamingo populations in the Galapagos. This island features some endemic plants such as Scalesia villosa, white and black mangrove, and Palo Santo. The trail continues to a beautiful white sandy beach, one of the most important nesting sites of Green Pacific Sea Turtles. From the beach, one can spot sea turtles, blue-footed boobies plunging into the water, and small reef sharks. This coral-sand beach marks the end of our trail, and we head back to the olivine beach we landed on, to swim or snorkel amongst sea turtles, reef fish, sea lions and white-tipped reef sharks. A small colony of penguins resides on Floreana and can sometimes be observed as well.

PM-Post Office (Floreana Island): Wet landing on Post Office, the bay was named because in 1793 Captain James Colnett installed a wooden barrel which served as an informal post office for sailors passing through, who would take letters with them back to their destinations. Today, visitors continue the tradition by placing unstamped postcards inside the barrel, hoping that some other traveler, going to the letter destination, will take it back for free. The chances are that the letter posted can take a long time to arrive at its destination. However, there have been cases where it has arrived before the sender. We may also encounter Darwin's finches, Yellow Warbler and Lava Lizards. Great snorkeling opportunities with Green Pacific Sea Turtles. As well, the island is best known for its endemic vegetation: Scalesia villosa, Lecocarpus Pinnatifidus, and the Galapagos Milkwort. Snorkelers can practice on the main beach among playful sea lions.

AM-Highlands Tortoise Reserve (Santa Cruz Island):  We will dry land at Santa Cruz Island for a visit to the Highlands Tortoise Reserve. In the Galapagos mountains it it possible to admire different kinds of birds, such as tree and ground finches, vermillion flycatchers, paint-billed crakes, yellow warblers, and cattle egrets. The road goes from the coast through the agricultural zone and straight up to the dense humid forests.

PM-Charles Darwin Research Station: We visit the Station where the Galapagos giant tortoise breeding program takes place as part of our efforts to preserve the fragile Galapagos environment and where the famous Lonesome George (the last surviving specimen of his species) lived for decades. Admire a prickly-pear cactus forest and variety Darwin's finches and other land birds. The Darwin Station also works providing environmental education to the communities, schools, and tourists visiting the Galapagos Islands. You will also have some free time to visit the town and shop for souvenirs.

AM-Prince Phillip's Steps (Genovesa Island): We will arrive at Genovesa Island. During our 45-minute wal,  be marveled at the variety of sea life that uses the crevices of the lava cliffs for shelter. Red-billed Tropic birds fly overhead and a small colony of fur seals may be found near the landing site. You will be dropped off at a steep stairway that begins on rocks at the foot of a path that leads through a seabird colony full of Nazca and Red-footed Boobies. At the plateau, the trail continues inland allowing you to see more nesting booby colonies in the Palo Santo forest. Near the end of the trail, over a rocky lava plain, wedge-rumped Storm-Petrels can be observed flying in all directions. If you are lucky, you may catch a glimpse of a Short-eared Owl!

PM-Darwin Bay:  We will wet land at Darwin Bay onto a small sand and coral beach for a 2:30 hour walk. A short trail heads west along a tidal lagoon and then up a rocky hill that leads to a point overlooking the cliffs and Darwin Bay. Along the trail near the tidal lagoon, visitors will see pairs of Swallow-tailed Gulls, Lava Gulls, Yellow-crowned and Lava Herons. The trail continues through Palo Santo trees. Opuntia cacti and Saltbushes inhabited by Great Frigate birds and Red-footed Boobies. This is one of the few places in the islands where visitors are guaranteed to see Red-footed Boobies. It is estimated that more than 200.000 Red-footed Boobies live in the trees and bushes of Genovesa.

AM-Rabida Island: We will wet land on a Dark-red sand that covers this island's unique beaches, home of sea lions colonies; Rabida is considered the epicenter of the Galapagos Islands due to the diversity of its volcanic geology. Nesting brown pelicans are found from July through September plus nine species of the famous Darwin's finches. We will ride on a dinghy along marine cliffs to observe nesting seabirds and then we have a snorkeling activity off the coast, where marine life is particularly active.

PM-Bartholomew Island: At the center of the archipelago, Bartholomew is one of the most frequently visited sites of all the islands. It is an excellent site for snorkeling, filled with the breathtaking volcanic landscapes that make this corner of the world so unique. The first landing possibility is by a dock made out of lava and concrete, which soon turns into a wooden staircase built to avoid erosion and consists of 372 steps. It leads to the island's summit, where you will find what probably constitutes the most photographed site in the Galapagos: the Pinnacle Rock. Pioneer plants can be observed, Tiquilia nesiotica (which is endemic to the island) and Chamaesyce (known as sand mat or spurge in English), lava cactus, and Scalesia bushes. Behind the beach, there are dunes covered by mangroves. The second type of landing possibility is at coralline beach next to Pinnacle Rock which is a wet landing site. From this point, you will be able to snorkel among tropical fish, perhaps sea lions and penguins.

AM-Black Turtle Cove: On the last day we will visit Black Turtle Cove, located on the north shore of Santa Cruz Island, accessible only by sea, four species of mangrove crowd and form an internal lagoon, turtles visit the calm waters, peaking their heads above the surface while fish, rays circle below. White-tipped reef sharks, can be seen beneath the boat, plus sea birds, including pelicans, herons and egrets. This cove has been declared as a turtle sanctuary.

AM-Baltra Airport: After visiting Black Turtle Cove you will go to Baltra Airport to flight back to Quito or Guayaquil.
