Today, the Galapagos bucket list adventure begins.

After a short bus ride to the dock, take a Zodiac to the yacht for your welcome experience. Adventure opportunities start right away. This evening, join the Captain, Crew and your fellow travelers for a welcome reception and dinner.

Your first day of exploration starts with a zodiac ride to look for wildlife on Cerro Brujo with your guide pointing out a variety of wildlife. Enjoy a peaceful walk on the beach, swim with sea lions, paddleboard or kayak. The opportunity to snorkel may even present itself. Throughout the duration of the cruise, the Captain will use discretion based on weather and wildlife.
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
This morning, enjoy landing on Punta Suarez, Espanola Island. This island is home to several unique bird species, lava rocks and several ancient looking iguanas. Return to the yacht for lunch before continuing to an afternoon snorkel followed by a landing on Gardner Bay, site of an expansive white-powder sand beach where colonies of sea lions are known to dot the shorelines. Spend the remainder of the afternoon snorkeling, kayaking or paddleboarding among the wildlife.
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Step ashore at Punta Cormorant’s olive-sand beach with the sounds of sea lions, lava herons, yellow-crowned night herons and blue-footed boobies as you explore Floreana Island.

Spend the afternoon visiting one of the Galapagos best traditions, Post Office Bay. Take a Zodiac to Baroness Point to find sea turtles, rays and several colored fish.

Wake today with a completely different view from the last few days. A harbor full of boats is bustling with activity in Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz Island and a town of 24,000 people. Travel by bus to a higher altitude and enjoy a ranch where tortoises roam free. Following lunch on the yacht, experience the most famous visitor location in all of the Galapagos – Charles Darwin Research Center. Have free time to explore in town before returning to the yacht.
