Day 1: San Cristobal (L) (D)
Meet your guide and group at San Cristobal Island. Visit Loberia Beach: a beautiful beach with great snorkeling. During the snorkeling tour, you may find sea turtles, rays, sea lions. There is also a nice hike to a cliff where you can see many marine iguanas and birds.
Day 2: San Cristobal (B) (L) (D)
Visit Kicker Rock (León Dormido): a great snorkel site. You can spot there many tropical fishes, sea turtles, sea lions, rays, reef sharks, and if lucky, hammerhead sharks.
Day 3: Floreana (B) (L) (D)
Departure for Floreana where you will snorkel and then visit the highlands, a place called “Peace Asylum” where the first colonists of the islands settled. We will also spot Galapagos giant tortoises on the way. Afterwards we will continue to Isabela Island. Upon arrival, you will reach the flamingo lagoon.
Day 4: Isabela (B) (L) (D)
On your fourth day you must choose upon booking between a Volcano trekking tour (land tour) or Cabo Rosa (water tour with a supplement).
Option 1 - Volcano Hike: Early in the morning we will reach the highlands: you will begin a trekking (6 hours!) to the Sierra Negra and Chico volcano. Sierra Negra has the second largest active crater in the world: 10km diameter. You will continue to Chico Volcano, which is a cone of Sierra Negra. You will walk through moon-like sceneries and have great views of nearby Fernandina Island and the north of the island. You will end the day with a nice swim and snorkel at Concha de Perla lagoon.
Option 2 - Cabo Rosa Tunnels (additional costs, 140,-$): If you are okay with another boat ride (1 hour each way) you can take the excursion to Cabo Rosa tunnels. This is an amazing place where the volcano activity created lava tunnels going under and over the sea level. You can spot the penguins, blue footed boobies, and you will have great snorkeling too! Then you will meet the other group to swim/snorkel at Concha de Perla lagoon.
