We begin our day with a scenic drive to the lush highlands, where we visit a tortoise ranch to see these giants roaming in their natural habitat. Next, we explore the fascinating lava tunnels, walking through underground passages formed by ancient volcanic activity. After lunch, we visit a traditional trapiche farm to learn about sugarcane and cacao production before relaxing at El Garrapatero Beach, a serene spot with turquoise waters and diverse birdlife.

Over the next two days, we board a yacht for an unforgettable experience to one of the Galapagos’ uninhabited islands. Each site offers unique landscapes and wildlife encounters, from hiking among volcanic formations to snorkeling in crystal-clear waters.

We may spot sea lions, marine iguanas, and vibrant reef fish. After a full day of exploration, we will return to Puerto Ayora for the evening.

We take an early public speedboat to Isabela Island, where we explore the Wetlands, a sanctuary for flamingos, herons, and other bird species. A scenic walk leads us to the Tortoise Breeding Center before we continue to the haunting Wall of Tears, a historical site built by former prisoners. In the afternoon, a shared boat tour to Tintoreras offers encounters with Galapagos penguins, sea lions, marine iguanas, and white-tipped reef sharks in turquoise waters.

Today’s journey is a shared tour experience where a short yacht ride takes us to Cabo Rosa and its famous lava tunnels, a surreal marine paradise shaped by volcanic forces. Here, we snorkel among sea turtles, reef sharks, and colorful fish, with a chance to spot eagle rays and playful sea lions. Above water, we admire blue-footed boobies and pelicans perched on the rugged lava formations. After an incredible day, we return to town to relax at our hotel.

We set out on a rewarding and intense hike to Sierra Negra, one of the world’s largest volcanic craters. As we ascend, we pass through lush highland vegetation before reaching the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Volcano Chico, where we enjoy a picnic with panoramic coastal views. In the afternoon, we snorkel at Concha de Perla, a calm bay perfect for spotting sea turtles, sea lions, and vibrant marine life before returning to our hotel.

Early wake-up call to board the public speedboat from Isabela Island to Santa Cruz Island.  Breakfast at a local venue and then transfer to the Baltra Airport for your flight back to mainland Ecuador.
