Today starts with your flight to San Cristobal Island, where our Galapagos journey officially begins! After landing and getting settled, you'll head out to La Loberia, a beautiful beach known for its friendly sea lions. You can relax on the sand, go for a swim, or snorkel in the crystal-clear waters to encounter sea turtles, colorful fish, and maybe even marine iguanas sunbathing on the rocks. It’s a relaxed and fun way to connect with nature.

A day of ocean magic unfolds with a boat ride to Kicker Rock, one of the most iconic snorkeling spots in the Galapagos. Towering above the sea, these dramatic cliffs hide an underwater world of marine life. Reef sharks, sea turtles, rays, and vibrant fish glide through the channel, it’s like swimming through a living aquarium.

The adventure continues at Cerro Brujo, a dreamy stretch of white sand and crystal-clear water. Framed by lava rocks and looking out toward Kicker Rock, it’s the kind of place where time slows down—perfect for a quiet snorkel, a beach walk, or just soaking in the beauty.

Today we take a short flight from San Cristobal to Isabela Island, the largest and one of the most laid-back islands in the Galapagos.

After touching down, the day includes a visit to the Tortoise Breeding Center, where giant tortoises of all ages slowly roam in a peaceful, protected setting. From tiny hatchlings to massive adults, it’s a chance to see these iconic creatures up close and learn about the efforts to preserve their species.

We will also visit the Wall of Tears, a massive lava rock wall built in the 1950s by prisoners held on the island during its time as a penal colony.

This is one of those unforgettable Galapagos days, full of close encounters and raw, wild beauty. A short boat ride brings you to Las Tintoreras, a cluster of lava islets surrounded by clear, turquoise water—and teeming with life. Snorkeling here feels like entering another world: white-tipped reef sharks, sea turtles, rays, and colorful fish glide all around, while sea lions might come up to play.

Back on land, we will take a walk to explore the islet’s beaches, surrounded by mangroves. This is one of the few sites where marine iguanas can successfully reproduce.

Today’s adventure heads into the highlands of Isabela for a hike to Sierra Negra, one of the most active volcanoes in the Galapagos. You’ll be driven to the highlands of Isabela Island to begin your hike.

The trail winds through lush vegetation and lava fields before reaching the edge of the massive crater—one of the largest in the world. The views from the top are unforgettable: a vast volcanic landscape stretching out in all directions, with glimpses of other volcanoes and the island’s rugged coastline in the distance. It’s a striking contrast to the beaches below and a chance to experience the beauty of Isabela from above.

You will be able to swim and snorkel with all kinds of exotic fish and marine life, including the famous sea lions. The journey also takes you to hidden coves and turquoise inlets where wildlife is never far—blue-footed boobies, sea lions, and marine iguanas often steal the show.

We continue with a climb to a nearby viewpoint—with chances of spotting white-tipped reef sharks in the ocean below. Next, a laid-back walk through Playa de los Perros, home to many basking sea iguanas.
