Western Islands Galapagos Catamaran Cruise 8 day route

You will be flying from Quito to Galapagos on this day. The Galapagos Government requires that a 20 USD fee be paid to obtain the migration card. After a short 4 hour flight with a stop in Guayaquil, enjoy the rest of your trip.
Passengers arriving in Santa Cruz must pass through an airport inspection to ensure that they are not bringing any foreign animals or plants into the island. This is also where you pay the Galapagos National Park entrance fee.

The guide will transport your luggage and pick you up to the ferry that crosses the Itabaca Channel. Then, the passengers are taken to Ranch Manzanillo by bus. Visitors must have comfortable shoes and light clothes, as well as a jacket that is waterproof, sunblock, repellent, and camera. Ranch Manzanillo visit includes picnic and short walk, before getting on the Motor Catamaran. Please follow the instructions to ensure that this trip is completed correctly. Be aware that luggage for passengers will be delivered directly to Seaman Journey's yacht.

PM: Santa Cruz Highlands

As you travel across Santa Cruz to the highlands, visitors will be amazed by the variety of geology and life on the island. The road that travels across Santa Cruz begins at Puerto Ayora and climbs through agricultural land and mist-covered forests. Santa Cruz is home to all the different life zones in the Archipelago. You will be surrounded by birds as you walk along this path. You can find almost all the birds in the Islands here, whether it is the vermillion flycatcher with its bright red feathers or Darwin's Finch.

Santa Cruz is a great place to see the Galapagos tortoises. The highlands are not just for tortoise tracking. You can also explore lava tubes and sinkholes. The M/C Seaman Journey was the next stop after this.

AM, Mangle Point

Mangle Point is located off the east coast of Fernandina. It's a great snorkeling spot and an ideal place to ride in a zodiac or panga through a mangrove grove. It is possible to hike about half a mile. You are sure to spot sea lions as well as tortoises and pelicans. There are also a number of birds, too many to mention.

PM: Moreno Point

Moreno Point lies on the northern coast of Isabela Island, between Cerro Azul and Sierra Negra volcanoes. This trail follows a Pahohoe lava flow (solidified, corrugated lava) to a coastal lagoon complex where you can find several bird species.
