Tour Itinerary

Take in the highlights of the unique flora- and fauna-rich islands of the Galapagos on this eight-day adventure. From rubbing shoulders with giant tortoises to gazing up in wonder at the spectacular blue-footed boobies' synchronised fishing technique, the Galapagos offers the chance to see an abundance of rare creatures at close range. We'll show you the best islands, coves and natural wonders, and give you plenty of time to explore (with local advice!) so you can spend your time the way you want. Snorkel with sea lions, swim with sea turtles and relax in paradise.

  3. Day 3
    Isla San Cristobal
