The following is a list of descriptions of the islands you may visit.

Bartolomé Island

This islands path is a steep climb aided by a wooden staircase but the view from the top is worth the effort. Here you will see the most famous Galapagos vista; Pinnacle Rock & Santiago Island. A ride around Pinnacle Rock will allow you to get a glimpse of the small Galapagos penguins. There will be time for an optional swim or snorkel this afternoon.

Floreana Island

This island is well known for its human history, as well as the wildlife. At Punta Cormorant, make a wet landing and take a short walk to the Flamingo Lagoon. We then continue the walk until we reach the beach called “La Picona” to see marine turtles and their spawning grounds. The island is also known for Post Office Bay; the oldest postal system in the world.

Isabela Island

Located on the southeastern coast of Isabela, Puerto Villamil is the main settlement area on the island. Take time to enjoy this small peaceful town which has a laid back atmosphere. Puerto Villamil offers quite a different experience than the tourist shops on Puerto Ayora (Santa Cruz) and is often considered the most beautiful site in the Galapagos with its long white sand, palm-lined beaches.

Plazas Island

A dry landing on the pier of the Island of Plaza Sur will allow us to explore the cactus forest to observe land iguanas and a great many species of tropical birds. We also enjoy the antics of the sea lions as they surf the waves.

North Seymour Island

Dry landing for a walk along the coast and the interior of North Seymour Island, one of the few uplifted islands in Galápagos Archipelago. The trail leads us to colonies of blue footed boobies, Magnificent frigate birds, and swallow-tail gulls. The sandy shore teems with Galápagos sea lions and marine iguanas. Cacti, Palo Santo trees and Salt Bushes dot the island.

Sante Fé Island

Wet landing on the Island to visit the cactus forest and a colony of land iguanas native to Santa Fe. The island has an enjoyable path that you will follow to see the various sites.
