      Day 1: Quito To Isabela Island

      Welcome to Ecuador! Today we're taking to the skies, bound for the glorious Galapagos Islands. Excited much? You should be. On arrival weโ€™ll appease our rumbling stomachs with some munch. Giant tortoises roaming their natural surroundings and incredible old lava tunnels will welcome us onto the island of Santa Cruz. After lunch, weโ€™ll take to the ocean and make tracks to our home for the night โ€“ the impossibly glorious Isabela Island, where weโ€™ll sleep amidst the spellbinding beauty of the Galapagos National Park. The inspiration behind Charles Darwinโ€™s โ€˜Origin of Speciesโ€™, Isabela Island is home to wildlife you wonโ€™t find anywhere else in the world. Picture the scene โ€“ sandy streets, palm trees, crystal waters and seal pups playing โ€“ can it really get any more perfect? Soak it all in, as itโ€™s home for the next little while.

      Day 3: Isabela Island To Santa Cruz Island

      Weโ€™ll wake up hungry for the day this morning (thatโ€™s what island life does to you), and for good reason โ€“ Santa Cruz is on the horizon. After settling in to the Santa Cruz way of life, weโ€™ll stroll down to the beach and the cozy Tortuga Bay. Wildlife fanatics will be in their element โ€“ the island is known for sharks, rays, turtles, great blue herons, and even blue footed boobies. Spend your time sunbaking next to a marine iguana, or roam the streets stopping off in cute cafes for fresh juice pit stops.
