Itinerary for 8 days B

(8 days B)

Day 1: The Twin Craters, which are not actually craters but rather rock formations made when surface material collapsed in underground fissures and chambers, will be your first stop after landing at Baltra Airport. The scenery is magnificent. And ideal for taking photographs. You will then eat lunch at a nearby restaurant before being driven to the Reina Silvia yacht. Day’s end and dinner served aboard.

Day 2: You will travel to Cormorant Point in the early morning, where there is a sizable flamingo lagoon. You can also visit a white sand beach made of white coral and a beach with green sand made of olivine crystals. My next trip will be to Champion Islet, which is a great location for dolphin watching and snorkeling. After lunch, proceed to Post Office Bay, where whalers installed an unauthorized mail box. At the foot of the hill are the two locations. Day’s end and dinner served aboard.

Day 3: Disembarking at Moreno Point Moreno on Isabela’s north coast will be the first activity of the day. From there, you’ll walk through a path of solidified lava to a coastal lagoon where you can see a variety of birds. You will travel to Elizabeth Bay after lunch in order to see the Marielas islets.

Day 4: You will arrive at Urbina Bay in the morning, where you can see some captivating rock layers as well as stingrays and sea turtles swimming close to the surface of the water. The highlight of the island, the nesting site of the flightless cormorant, can be found after arriving at Espinosa Point in the afternoon. En route, you’ll pass by a colony of marine iguanas and a pack of sea lions. Day’s end and dinner served aboard.

Day 5: Following breakfast, you will travel to Tagus Cove, which is next to Fernandina Island and has been a popular anchorage spot for ships. Then, head to Vicente Roca Point in the afternoon; this location is a sizable bay with amazing marine life. Seahorses, turtles, and the odd but fascinating Mola mola should all be observed (or sunfish). Return to the yacht for dinner.

Day 6: Go to Espumilla Beach in the morning to see playful sea lions, fur seals, and various seabird species. Snorkeling is also recommended here. After lunch, you will travel to Santiago Island’s Egas Port, also known as James Bay, which is home to the observant Galapagos hawks and swift Galapagos lava lizards. An excellent location for snorkeling is here. Return to the yacht for dinner.

Day 7: Go to Bachas Beach on Santa Cruz’s north shore in the early morning. This location, where you can also see animals like flamingos, hermit crabs, and sea turtles, is one of the few reminders of the American presence in the Galapagos during World War II. You will travel to North Seymour in the afternoon, where you can see the Galapagos sea lions, blue-footed boobies, and majestic frigate birds that are common on the island.

Day 8: You will be transferred from the boat to the airport at Baltra following breakfast and after your arrival in Puerto Ayora so that you can catch a flight back to the mainland.
