Join us for a full-day adventure exploring Bartolome Island and Sullivan Bay, starting with a 7:00 AM meet-up in Puerto Ayora. From there, we will head to the Itabaca Channel. After we arrive at Bartolome, you will land on a beach and then walk up 395 steps to the island’s top. At the top, you will see views of the strange landscape and Pinnacle Rock. While walking you will look for lava shapes, special plants such as lava cacti and tiquilla and the cute Darwin’s finches. Once the hike ends, you will board a zodiac boat for a ride along the coast. On that ride we might see Galapagos penguins. Next, you will go to Sullivan Bay for a snorkeling adventure in clear water. There, you will see bright Galapagos life. The trip will give us transportation, snorkeling gear all the planned activities, a bilingual naturalist guide, lunch on the boat, towels and other needed services.
