We start our day at Dragon Hill on Santa Cruz Island, named after the fact that in 1975 it was one of the only sites on this island where land iguanas were found in a healthy state. After this activity head back to the catamaran for lunch and continue with your activities in Sullivan Bay, where you can witness the rope lava flows, and practice shallow water snorkeling.
After breakfast, you will head to Egas Port, and you will have a wet landing, and begin with an easy walk through the shoreline of the black sand beach at this place, while spotting sea lions, Salli lightfoot crabs, marine iguanas, and Galapagos fur seals. In the afternoon, after lunch, you will visit Chinese Hat, a volcanic cone, that forms an islet of the rocky coast of Santiago and where a small colony of Galapagos penguins have settled. You will also see Galapagos sea lions, and marine iguanas are also present in this place.
You will begin the day with a wet landing at the red sand beach of Rabida Island, it has this particular color because of the oxidized iron particles that can be found there. Behind the beach there is a green fringed lagoon, and around here a palo santo forest tree grows. There are also a lot of aquatic birds, like pintails, and sometimes flamingos. There is also a major colony of brown pelicans. In the afternoon head to Bartolome Island, a beautiful volcano island, which offers one of the wildest landscapes of the entire archipelago. You can climb to the highest point of this place to view the idyllic postcard view of Pinnacle Bay. After this visit head back to the yacht for dinner and rest.
