We’re thrilled to welcome you on this exploratory voyage to some of the Galapagos’ most picturesque islands. Our expedition leads us to the foundation of the archipelago, to landscapes freshly shaped by Earth’s monumental tectonic activities, with volcano hot spots generating the islands like a blip in geologic timeline. Fernandina Island is known as one of the planet’s most untouched eco-friendly zones, where life thrives in its natural habitat, isolated from human intervention. On Santa Cruz Island, we’ll stop by the Charles Darwin Research Station and witness giant tortoises in the wild. Moving south, we delve into Galapagos’ intriguing ‘murder mystery’, sight flamingos, and snorkel at Champion Islet, one of the top spots within the archipelago. Concluding our tour of the Central Islands, we return to Baltra Island and embark on our return flight to the mainland.
