Extended Tour of the Galapagos Islands

Discover the Galapagos Islands and their natural wonders! This four-day trip includes tours, accommodation, transportation, and breakfast each day.

Itinerary

Day 1: Reception at the Baltra airport and transfer to hotel

From the airport, we take the public buses to the dock, where we cross the Itabaca channel by public service ferry to Santa Cruz Island. Once we arrive, a transport is waiting to transfer you to Puerto Ayora, where the island’s hotels are located. On the way, you have the opportunity to see the lava tunnels and a giant turtle reserve.

Visit the Charles Darwin Scientific Station, where you can learn more about the Galapagos Islands, the species that inhabit it, their training and evolution, and conservation programs, and observe some giant tortoises in captivity. (Transfer operates daily at 1:00 p.m.)

Day 2: Breakfast at the hotel, followed by a morning excursion to Playa Tortuga Bay

We take 40-minute walk to arrive at this magical place, one of the most beautiful beaches on the islands, and take some time to swim and enjoy the beach. Before the afternoon portion of the tour, you have free time for lunch (not included).

The afternoon tour around the bay takes place on board a yacht. We start with a visit to La Lobería, thus named because of the presence of sea lions. We stop here and give you the chance to swim or snorkel.

Next, we proceed with our tour to the Canal del Amor (Channel of Love). Just after the end of this channel, we encounter a viewpoint where we can observe reef sharks. From here, we continue with a short walk to see the marine iguanas that inhabit Playa de los Perros. Your yacht tour also includes a visit to Punta Estrada.

This tour only runs on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.

Note: The boat used for this excursion is a motor boat with capacity for 16 passengers.

Day 3: Breakfast at the hotel. Day off to explore on your own.

Day 4: Breakfast at the hotel, followed by transportation to the airport

We pick you up at the hotel to cross the Itabaca Canal by public service ferry to Baltra Island. On the route from the hotel to the canal, you have the opportunity to make a brief stop at Los Gemelos, twin craters formed by the collapse of materials, surrounded by forest of scalesia plants. Once we arrive, we take the public buses that transport you to the airport. (Transfer operates daily at 7 a.m., 9 a.m., and 12 p.m.)
