Galaxy Stella 4 Days - Itinerary A 2026

Upon arrival at San Cristóbal Airport, your guide and crew will warmly welcome you and assist with your transfer to the Galaxy Stella.

After settling into your cabin and enjoying lunch onboard, your adventure begins with a visit to Lobos Island, a small islet named after its large population of sea lions. As you explore, you’ll encounter playful sea lion pups, blue-footed boobies nesting nearby, and frigatebirds soaring overhead.

If conditions allow, you may also enjoy a short snorkeling session, where sea lions often join swimmers in the water, creating a fun and memorable first encounter with Galápagos wildlife.

Today you’ll visit one of the most spectacular islands in the archipelago: Española Island.

Your morning excursion takes you to Suarez Point, known for its dramatic cliffs and incredible birdlife. Here, you may observe waved albatrosses (seasonal), Nazca boobies, and blue-footed boobies performing their courtship dances. The famous blowhole shoots water high into the air, adding to the dramatic scenery.

In the afternoon, relax at Gardner Bay, a stunning white-sand beach surrounded by turquoise waters. You can enjoy snorkeling with sea lions, spot colorful fish, or simply unwind on the beach alongside marine iguanas and resting sea lion colonies.

Your day begins at Cormorant Point, one of the most unique ecological sites in the Galápagos. Here you’ll walk along a green-hued beach rich in olivine crystals and visit a lagoon where flamingos are often seen feeding in the shallow waters.

Next, you’ll visit the famous Post Office Bay, a historic site dating back to the 18th century. Whalers once used a wooden barrel as an informal postal system—visitors today can continue the tradition by leaving postcards or delivering messages by hand.

Snorkeling opportunities in this area may reveal sea turtles, rays, and reef fish, adding even more variety to your experience.

On your final day, you’ll visit the renowned Charles Darwin Research Station on Santa Cruz Island. Here, you’ll learn about ongoing conservation efforts and see giant tortoises at different stages of development.

This visit offers valuable insight into the protection and preservation of the Galápagos ecosystem—an inspiring way to conclude your journey.

After the excursion, you’ll be transferred to Baltra Airport for your departure flight.
