Española, Santa Fe & Santa Cruz Islands

Your adventure kicks off as you land in Baltra and head straight to the lush highlands of Santa Cruz. This area is a green oasis compared to the dry lowlands, filled with Scalesia trees and home to lava tunnels you can walk through. Spot wild tortoises along the way as you settle into the magical atmosphere of Galapagos.

Morning brings you to Gardner Bay, where sea lions bask in the sun and curious mockingbirds flutter about. Snorkel in the bay’s clear waters or relax on its serene beach. Later, head to Suarez Point—a birdwatcher’s paradise—where you can see blue-footed and Nazca boobies, and the famed waved albatross during nesting season. The rugged cliffs and natural blowhole make this one of the archipelago’s most dramatic sites.
