After breakfast, head to Genovesa Island also known as Tower Island, where you begin with a hike to the top and enjoy a panoramic view of Genovesa Island. After lunch, you will go to Darwin Bay that is a caldera of a collapsed volcano. Walk along a coral sand beach, crossing barren lava formation and creeks where there are some species like swallow tailed gulls and red – footed boobies . Finally visit Prince Philips steps, one of the best nesting sites on the island. You can also practice snorkeling or kayaking.

After breakfast, head to South Plaza, where you will see one of the largest populations of Land Iguanas in Galapagos. You will also spot Marine Iguanas and hybrids of both species. Lunch service onboard and then you will continue to Santa Fe, that begins with a dinghy boat ride across the turquoise lagoon and once in the shore you will spot one of the many sea lion colonies in Galapagos. This place is also home to Galapagos Hawks and endemic Land Iguanas, one of the largest in all the archipelago.

First activity in the morning will be a visit to San Cristobal Island, specifically Pitt Point, that offers an impressive view after climbing up a steep narrow path. After this visit, you will head to Kicker Rock or León Dormido in Spanish, and take a dinghy ride around it to observe the narrow channel and the marine species that nest there. You can practice snorkel here. Finally, we head to Isla Lobos to take a dinghy ride and watch the two species of sea lions that are found here. You can also snorkel at this spot. Return to the yacht and dinner.

In the morning, our guide will take us to the top of San Cristóbal Island. Following, our tour has 2 options. The first option starts from Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, and involves a visit to the El Junco Lagoon. For hundreds of years, rain water and condensation have caused an accumulation of water in the caldera of an extinct volcano, creating a paradise for frigate birds and turtles.

Alternatively, we will visit the “Cerro Colorado” turtle breeding center. There we will have a pleasant walk along a path that allows us to be in close contact with the turtles, that can vary from the smallest
to the oldest of giants.

After our visit, we will depart for the airport for our return flight to Quito or Guayaquil.
