The Galápagos Express: Snorkelling Devil's Crown and Exploring Española - Eden Yacht - Galapagos Cruise

The group will meet during afternoon hours to begin their exploration of Santa Cruz highlands which serve as home to Galapagos giant tortoises in their natural habitat.

Santa Cruz Highlands Excursion
The journey through the green highlands allows visitors to encounter various animal species while they search for wild giant tortoises in their natural habitat.

Explore Floreana through visits to Post Office Bay and Punta Cormorant, followed by snorkelling at the waters of Corona del Diablo.

Post Office Bay Visit
The island maintains a well-known postal system which originated from English whaling ships during their time at sea. The system allows you to send letters and receive mail through its operations.

Punta Cormorant Visit
The visitor can explore Floreana's unique combination of green and white sandy shores before reaching the lagoon which hosts flamingos and shorebirds. The area also provides chances to observe penguins and marine iguanas which live in this habitat.

Snorkelling at Corona del Diablo
The coral reef surrounding Devil's Crown requires exploration because it contains tropical fish schools and rays and reef sharks and sea turtles.

The Galapagos contains Española Island which stands as one of its most ancient islands. You can find diverse wildlife at Punta Suárez before you head to Gardner Bay for beach relaxation and snorkeling activities.

Punta Suárez Visit
The path leads you past seabird nesting areas where you can spot waved albatrosses and sea lions together with other animal species. The cliff offers visitors access to an ocean viewpoint which they can use to watch seabirds as they travel along the shoreline.

Gardner Bay Visit
The white sands of Gardner Bay beach offer a perfect relaxation spot while visitors can swim in its blue waters to find sea lions and other wildlife including mockingbirds and boobies and albatrosses and lava lizards and Galapagos hawks.

Snorkelling at Gardner Bay
I swim through Tortuga Rock and Gardner Bay waters to meet sea lions who play with me as I discover different tropical fish types. White tipped reef sharks rest on the ocean floor so you need to watch their position carefully.

The ocean presents Kicker Rock which stands tall with its vertical walls that reach up from the water. Later, discover the history and natural heritage of the Galapagos at the San Cristóbal Interpretation Center.

Kicker Rock Visit
The waters surrounding Kicker Rock display volcanic structures which emerge from the sea to create a breathtaking landscape.

Interpretation Center Visit
The history of Galapagos unfolds through its volcanic birth and human arrival until present-day efforts to protect its environment. The islands' natural environment together with their wildlife and human history become available for learning.
