6 Day Galapagos Island Hopping Classic

The guide will pick you up at San Cristobal Airport and take you to the hotel. After a nice Ecuadorian lunch, you will have the time to visit Playa Mann, Las Tijeretas, or Punta Carola by yourself. You will be welcomed by the hundreds of Galapagos sea lions that live in the village.

Today, you will visit the highlands of San Cristobal. Your driver will take you to the first stop in about 30 minutes which is El Junco Crater Lake, the only freshwater lake on the Galapagos Islands. Then, you will continue to Puerto Chino, a beautiful white-sanded beach. You will follow a path that leads you along Opuntia cacti until you reach the white sandy beach of Puerto Chino. Here, you can take a short walk along the lazy sea lions that lie on the beach, towards the blue-footed boobies on the rocks. You will walk back to the car, and you will be taken to the last stop, La Galapaguera, a breeding ground with very nice wooden walkways and clear indications.

Early in the morning, you will go to Isabela Island with a flight of about 40 minutes. After dropping off your luggage and enjoying the village a bit, you will go on a mountain bike to the breeding center and other accessible places, or you can simply walk to the Muro de Las Lagrimas. Along the way, you have a great chance to see the giant tortoises just next to the road. In the afternoon, your guide will accompany you for a relaxing and beautiful kayak excursion in the bay of Puerto Villamil. Here, you will be able to spot various endemic animals such as marine iguanas, sea lions, and penguins.
