Afternoon: Lunch service and navigation to Seymour Island, north of Baltra.
Dry landing. Nature walk in North Seymour.

The trail is approximately 2 km (1.25 miles) long, crossing the island’s interior and exploring the rocky coast. Along the way, it passes colonies of Blue-Footed Boobies and Magnificent Frigatebirds. The Magnificent Frigatebird, a large black bird with a long wingspan and a hooked beak, is extremely fast and has excellent vision.

Frigatebirds are known for the large red pouch on their necks. Boobies and Frigates share an interesting relationship. Sharing the same nesting area on North Seymour, Blue-Footed Boobies nest on the ground, making their nests from Palo Santo tree twigs, while Magnificent Frigatebirds nest just above them in the saltbushes.

Evening: Guide briefing. Welcome cocktail. Dinner service and navigation to San Cristóbal Island.

San Cristobal Lobos Island Cerro Brujo Kicker Rock Floreana
Morning: Breakfast service. Dry landing. Nature walk and more wildlife watching. Deep water... see+ snorkeling.

Lobos Island, as its name suggests, is famous for its population of sea lions and fur sea lions. You will also encounter nesting grounds for the great Frigatebird and a small number of blue-footed boobies. The visit includes a breeding center, where the natural phenomena that created the Galápagos Islands—such as volcanic eruptions and marine currents—are explained in a simple manner.

Afternoon: Lunch service and navigation to Cerro Brujo. Panga boat exploration rides. Wet landing. Nature walk. Deep water snorkeling.

One of the first sites visited by Charles Darwin, Cerro Brujo features a stunning white sand beach where Brown Pelicans, Blue-Footed Boobies, sea lions, and marine iguanas can be observed. Cerro Brujo is an impressive, eroded tuff cone, resembling an onshore version of nearby Kicker Rock.

There is no landing at Kicker Rock. Also known as León Dormido, this rock formation off the coast of San Cristóbal consists of the remains of a lava cone eroded by the sea. Two vertical rocks, rising 500 feet from the ocean, form a narrow channel navigable by small boats. This natural monument is a favorite sight for cruises, as it attracts many Tropicbirds, Frigates, and Boobies. Beneath the surface, the crystal-clear waters reveal a vibrant display of colorful tropical fish and invertebrates.

Evening: Guide briefing. Dinner service and navigation to Floreana Island. 
Activities: Includes: Snorkeling, Explore Lobos Island, see+

Floreana Cormorant point Post Office Bay Baroness Viewpoint Española
Morning: Breakfast service. Visit to Floreana Island: Champion Islet, Cormorant Point, wet... see+ landing. Nature walk. Possible activities: deep water snorkeling, kayaking, panga boat exploration rides.

The visit to Cormorant Point offers two contrasting beaches. Arriving on shore you will encounter a green sand beach (the green sand is caused by the olivine crystals derived silicates or magnesium and iron). From here you will follow the trail leading to a lagoon where Pink Flamingoes and other shore birds can be seen in the distance making their home. If you look closely at the mud of this lagoon, there appears to be 'cracks' in the mud. These cracks are not caused from dryness but are actual flamingo footpaths.

This is also a good spot for seeing Large-Billed Flycatchers, Small-Ground Finches, Medium-Ground Finches or Cactus Finches. The walk continues to another beach on the other side made of fine white sand particles known as "Flour Beach". In the waters Ghost Crabs and Rays can be seen swimming. Time and weather permitting you may even go for a swim or a snorkel. Other activities include a panga ride to Champion Point and kayaking at Baroness Viewpoint.

Afternoon:Lunch service. Panga boat ride to Post Office Bay. The Baroness Viewpoint. Wet landing. Nature walk. Snorkeling from the beach.
In 1793 British whalers established the Post Office Barrel to send letters to and from England. This tradition has continued over the years, and even today visitors may drop off and pick up letters, without stamps, to be carried to far destinations. This is one of the few visitor sites that is visited for its human history. Whaling Captain James Colnett established the wooden post barrel in the early 1793. At the time whaling was a big industry, ships were typically gone for 2 years at a time. The Galapagos Islands were a frequent stop for these ships.

Outbound ships would drop off letters after rounding the cape and the ships returning home would mail them. Over the years thousands of ships have stopped to send and receive mail at Post Office Bay. Many have posted a sign of driftwood or other materials memorializing their visit. This is the only area in the Galapagos were graffiti is still acceptable.

Arriving at Post Office Bay you will land on a brown sand beach, passing the sea lions lying in the sun. At the post barrel the guide will pull a handful of letters for the group. Continuing the tradition, the letters are brought home with the traveler and then mailed to the addressee. Visitors also have the opportunity to send letters of their own. There are also the remains of a Norwegian Fishing Village a commercial fishing operation established in 1926 and abandoned a couple of years later. The group of Norwegians arrived with dreams of riches started a fishing and canning operation on $900 each. The tough Galapagos life and a few misfortunes had them abandon their dreams.
Time and weather permitting you may have the opportunity to snorkel again from the beach.

The Baroness Viewpoint the tough Galapagos life and a few misfortunes had them abandon their dreams. This site is especially attractive because aside from its impressive scenic beauty, it has a history. It is known by letters that Baroness Eloisa von Wagner (referring to “The Galapagos Affair” by John Treherne) loved this place, where she spent several hours where she could acquire knowledge of vessels approaching the island. Within walking distance (30 m) are the ruins of what is known as the House of the Baroness.
Time and weather permitting you may have the opportunity to snorkel again from the beach.

Española Osborn Gardner Bay Punta Suarez Santa Cruz
Morning: Breakfast service. Deep water snorkeling. Panga boat exploration rides to Gardner Bay.... see+ Dry landing. Gardner Islet, Osborn Islet. Nature walk. Swimming.

Osborn Islet is located to the southeast of Gardner Bay, near Española Island. Since landing is not allowed on this site, the visit consists of a tranquil panga ride that will allow us to enjoy the panoramic views and the many species that inhabit the place.
The islet was named after Henry Fairfield Osborn, a true lover of nature and animal species. William Beebe worked for him and named the islet after traveling to discover Galapagos.
There are many different schools of fish and other animal species, such as parrotfish, sea lions, butterfly fish, corals, green pencil urchins and many other colorful fish. This site is also great for snorkeling and swimming around the abundant marine life, as its waters are very calm.

Gardner Island is located a few hundred meters north of Española Island and faces Gardner Bay. Just like Española, Gardner Island is uninhabited and accessible only by cruise. Is a natural islet close to Española, the southernmost island of Galápagos. It is one of the best spots in the archipelago to snorkel with sea lions. Playful and inquisitive, they often join the snorkelers in the water.

Gardner Bay is a 45-minute boat ride from Suarez Point. It has a white sand beach and there is a small colony of sea lions. The possibilities for swimming or scuba diving are excellent here. Visitors find migrant, resident, and endemic wildlife including brightly colored Marine Iguanas, Española Lava Lizards, Hood Mockingbirds, Swallow Tailed Gulls, Blue Footed and Masked Boobies, Galapagos Hawks, a selection of Finch, and the Waved Albatross. Snorkel and go on a panga ride at Gardner Islet, and at Osborn Islet snorkel once more.

Afternoon: Lunch service. Visit to Suarez Point. Dry landing. Nature walk.
Suarez Point is located on the western tip of Española and it offers great wildlife viewing of such species as Sea Lions, Sea Birds and the largest Marine Iguanas of Galapagos. This is one of the best sites in the Galapagos. The amount of wildlife is overwhelming. Along the beach there are many Sea Lions and large, colorful Lava Lizards and Marine Iguanas. As you follow the trail to the cliff's edge Masked Boobies can be found nesting among the rock formations. After a short walk down to a beach and back up the other side Blue-Footed Boobies are seen nesting just off the trail.
