Galapagos Explorer
Flying to the large island of San Cristobal, we visit Red Hill in the Galapagos highlands before boarding our vessel - the M.Y San Jose. Next stop is isolated Espanola Island where we find waved albatross, blue-footed and masked boobies, Galapagos hawks, Darwin finches, sea lions and marine iguanas. On the island of Floreana we visit Post Office Bay, a great spot for snorkelling amidst plentiful sea lions and colourful fish. We can also swim with fur seals on Santiago Island and, on the volcanic island of Bartolome, we hike to the top for spectacular views across the islands. Arriving at Santa Cruz Island we visit North Seymour before flying from Baltra back to Quito. The wildlife and scenery on this voyage are simply amazing!
