Day 1 Transfer In – San Cristobal
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Transfer In – San Cristobal

At the arrivals area of San Cristobal Airport, your driver will be waiting to get you to your hotel located in the village of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. The drive will take about 5 minutes.
Day 2 Kicker Rock
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Kicker Rock

After breakfast, you go by boat to snorkel at Kicker Rock, one of the most spectacular landmarks in the Galapagos Islands. It is composed of two volcanic rocks 140 meters tall, located off the coast of San Cristobal Island. Viewed from the south, the rocks look like a sleeping lion, which is why the Spanish name is “León Dormido” (sleeping lion). On another side, it looks like a boot, hence the English name: Kicker Rock. This tiny island is the favorite place for an array of marine birds and great underwater life. The natural erosion of this ancient cone has created a channel between the rocks that provides the ideal habitat for a variety of sharks and rays. In the afternoon, you go back to the hotel.
Day 3 Isabela Island - Kayak In Puerto Villamil
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Isabela Island - Kayak In Puerto Villamil

Early in the morning, you will be picked up at your hotel and dropped off at the airport of San Cristobal (about 5 minutes driving). You then will take a small airplane to Isabela Island. This flight will take about 45 minutes. After arriving, you will be picked up at the airport and brought to your hotel in Puerto Villamil. This drive takes about 7 minutes. After breakfast, the guide will accompany you for a kayak excursion in the bay of Puerto Villamil. You might see nice fish, penguins, and even sharks during this activity.
Day 4 Los Tuneles
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Los Tuneles

After breakfast, your guide will take you to what is said to be one of the best snorkeling places in the world, Los Tuneles. The water is shallow, calm, and very clear- a sea sanctuary. Lava flows have produced unique geological formations: a series of arcs and tunnels underneath and above the water which make an ideal habitat for many local Galapagos Species. The entrance to the site is shallow and the waves can be strong, for this reason, the access can be complicated. You will have a snack on board and then return to Puerto Villamil.
Day 5 Puerto Ayora - Santa Cruz Highlands
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Puerto Ayora - Santa Cruz Highlands

You will be picked up at your hotel and brought to Isabela Airport for your flight to Baltra. This short flight will give you the chance to experience Galapagos from the air. The flight time is about 45 minutes. Upon arrival at Baltra Airport, you go by private transportation to the village of Puerto Ayora which will take about 45 minutes more. Later in the day, you will visit the Highlands of Santa Cruz to make closer contact with the giant Galapagos tortoises in their natural habitat. You will find yourself surrounded by the endemic vegetation of the Galapagos. You will have lunch here.
Day 6 Bartolome / Floreana / North Seymour
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Bartolome / Floreana / North Seymour

Today you will visit an uninhabited island by boat. It will either be Floreana, Bartolome, or North Seymour. You can tell us your preference and we try to get you to that island. Unfortunately due to availability, we cannot guarantee the island. You will navigate for about 30 min up to 2,5 hours to get to the island. You will have a short hike to get to know the land species and afterward, you will go snorkeling. Around 4:00 PM you will be back in the village and you might have time to visit the Charles Darwin Station by yourself or you can be dropped off at your hotel.
Day 7 Transfer Out To Baltra Airport
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Transfer Out To Baltra Airport
