Encounter the southern islands of the Galapagos on this wildlife adventure

Flying to Baltra we cross by ferry to Santa Cruz island and continue by road to Puerto Ayora where we’ll visit the Galapagos tortoise research program at Darwin Station. In the afternoon we board the M.Y San Jose and cruise to Leon Domido and the large island of San Cristobal where we visit the new interpretation centre and the rugged volcanic peaks of Cerro Brujo. Next stop is isolated Espanola Island where we find waved albatrosses plus blue-footed and masked boobies, Galapagos hawks, Darwin finches, sea lions and marine iguanas. On the ‘Buccaneer’ hideaway island of Floreana we'll visit Post Office Bay and the island’s volcanic cone, a great spot for snorkelling, full of sea lions and colourful fish.

You’ll also encounter the stately, pink flamingos as they wade in the shallow waters of inland lagoons. Arriving back at Santa Cruz Island we'll visit Black Turtle Cove and cruise amongst the mangroves, where the array of wildlife kicks into overdrive! The lagoons are a nursery for many sharks and rays. Amongst all this activity you will also find time to relax sunbath, swim, snorkel and enjoy new friendships.
