We’re thrilled to welcome you on this exploration of some of the Galapagos’ most stunning islands. Our shared journey kicks off on Baltra Island, previously a WWII military base, now an active station for the Ecuadorian navy and air force. Once all procedures are finalized, we move east following North Seymour and Santa Cruz Islands’ volcanic coastlines until we arrive at the Plazas Islands. The adventures begin with a dry disembarkation at a human-made dock on South Plaza Island. The following day, we’ll take a deep dive into Santa Fe Island and San Cristobal Island, the latter being the provincial capital of the Galapagos province. Subsequently, we set sail to the south towards Española Island, boasting the well-loved visitor hotspot, Punta Suarez. There, you’ll trek across a rocky coast teeming with marine iguanas, sea lions, various sea birds, and even albatrosses for a significant part of the year.
