Central & North Galapagos Islands

Day 1: Baltra - North Seymour Island

Our guide will be waiting for you at Baltra Airport and once the group is completed. They will accompany you to the Archipell Catamaran which is anchored in Puerto Ayora harbor. After arrival on board, we will check in and give you general information. Afterwards you will have lunch.

This island is located slightly in the north of Baltra. It is a low, flat island, formed as a result of a submarine lava formation uplift.Covered with low, vegetation, it contains the largest colony of magnificent frigate birds in the Galapagos. There is also a large population of blue-footed boobies that perform an amusing courtship dance when nesting conditions are right. It really is one of the highlights of this island.

Day 2: Prince Philip's Steps - Darwin Bay, Genovesa Island

Not only because of its historical English name (Tower) Genovesa has a royal touch. Follow into the footsteps of Prince Philip – Galapagos lover of the first hour – and visit this favourite birding spot with largest breeding colonies of red-footed and Nazca boobies, and look for a remarkable short-eared owl that hunts on foot!.

As one of the outer islands and most exclusive places of Galapagos, Genovesa is well worth last night’s longer navigation. This compact site in the heart of its flooded crater shows the extreme varied coastal ecosystems of Galapagos in miniature; nearly too much for a single day.

Day 3: Bartolomé - Sullivan Bay

At Bartolomé Island you will ascend to admire the spectacular panorama of the Sullivan Bay and the famous Pinnacle Rock. The beaches at the foot of the Pinnacle Rock are excellent for snorkelling from which you can discover the marvelous underwater world.

In the afternoon, you will visit Sullivan Bay on the east coast of Santiago. We land on a white coral sand beach and begin our walk over lava that flowed less than 100 years ago. This is the perfect place to see and feel the volcanic origin of Galapagos.

Day 4: Charles Darwin Station - Depart Baltra Airport

In the morning we will visit Charles Darwin Station. In the tortoise breeding station, you can encounter tortoises of different subspecies, which get prepared for reintroduction to their natural habitats.

Later, we will transfer you to Baltra airport for your flight to Quito/Guayaquil.
