Galapagos Islands 5-day Luxury Cruise
Galapagos Islands 5-day Luxury Cruise
Day 1: Isla San Cristóbal
Once you have landed at the airport of Isla San Cristóbal and there we'll be waiting for you to take you by minibus to the yacht.
After enjoying a delicious lunch on board, we'll start exploring the island by visiting the Cerro Colorado turtle breeding and protection center. Here, we'll be able to see several species of plants native to the archipelago, as well as different birds and many other endemic animals.
We'll end the day with dinner on the boat and rest until the next day.
Day 2: Isla Española
On the second day, we'll set sail for Isla Española, one of the smallest islands in the Galapagos archipelago. Did you know that it's also called Hood Island, in honor of the British Admiral Samuel Hood?
On this islet, we'll visit Gardner Bay, where we'll see sea lions and sharks, and you'll have time to relax on its beautiful beaches and swim or snorkel in its crystal-clear waters.
In the afternoon, we'll travel to Punta Suarez, a rugged corner of Isla Española, home to several seabird colonies. From its high cliffs, you can enjoy a spectacular view and watch the swift dives of these birds.
We'll end the day by returning to the cruise ship for dinner and a good night's rest.
Day 3: Isla Floreana
We'll continue west to visit the peninsula of Punta Cormorant, located on Isla Floreana, where we'll discover ancient volcanic cones, palo santo forests, and beaches of different colors. Here we'll discover ancient volcanic cones, palo santo forests, and beaches of different shades, which will impress you! In addition, this area is often frequented by sea lions and Galapagos penguins.
After lunch on the yacht, we'll see a historic mailbox whose origins date back to the eighteenth century, and we'll also climb to the Baroness viewpoint, which will offer us paradisiacal views. This place will also allow us to delve into the history of the so-called Empress of the Galapagos.
We'll continue sailing at night while enjoying an exquisite dinner aboard the yacht.
Day 4: Isla Santiago
Time for breakfast! With our batteries recharged, we'll start touring Sullivan Bay on Isla Santiago. This spot's highlights are its unspoiled state and its varied wildlife. Blue herons, crabs, and iguanas will be the main characters!
In the afternoon, after lunch, we'll head to the volcanic islet of Bartolomé, one of the youngest in the Galapagos. To enjoy one of the best panoramic views of these lands, we recommend climbing to the Pinnacle Bay viewpoint, located 114 meters above sea level.
We'll have dinner and rest on the yacht until the next day.
Day 5: Isla Santa Cruz - Isla Baltra
And so our last day on this luxury yacht in the Galapagos is here. But we still have some surprises left. We'll head to Santa Cruz Island, specifically to Tortuga Negra Cove. We'll sail in a zodiac through its emerald lagoon while we spot the shark colonies that live here.
After enjoying this magnificent scenery, we'll return to the cruise ship to sail to the island of Isla Baltra. Once on land, we'll get off the ship and take you to the airport for your return flight.
