4 Day Galapagos Itinerary

Day 1: San Cristobal Island: Lobos Island & Kicker Rock

San Cristobal: Arrival and transfer to boat

AM: San Cristobal: Lobos island / Kicker Rock

The name of this island means ¨Sea Lion Island¨. This appropriately named island is ripe with noisy, frolicking, jolly sea lions who will welcome you to their home with open, well, fins. This island also offers great snorkeling opportunities as well as the chance to see Blue-footed and Nazca Boobies.

Kicker Rock: This striking rock formation is located a couple hours off the western shore of San Cristobal. Jutting out of the water, the rocks stand vertically at hundreds of feet above the ocean divided by a small channel. Although there are no landing areas, kayaking and scuba diving allow visitors to spot a variety of marine life.

Day 2: San Cristobal Island: Pitt Point & Witch Hill

AM: San Cristobal (Pitt Point)

Pitt Point, situated on the north-eastern tip of the island, hosts frigatebirds, storm petrels, and all three types of Booby Birds: the Nazca, Blue-footed and Red-footed Boobies. A steep trail goes up a cliff and through a ravine leading visitors to an area with an abundance of birds. This site is also great for snorkeling and scuba diving.

PM:San Cristobal: Witch Hill

Located on the northern coast, this eroded hill and its surroundings present one of the most picturesque beaches in the Galapagos with its white powdery sand and the abundance of animals. Wildlife includes sea turtles, rays, and various types of Booby Birds. The clear water provides an excellent opportunity for enjoying swimming and snorkeling.

Day 3: Floreana Island: Post Office Bay, Cormorant Point & Devil’s Crown

AM: Floreana: Post Office Bay

In the 18th century whalers passing through the islands placed a wooden barrel on Floreana Island for use as an unofficial mail box. The tradition continues today as visitors leave addressed postcards in the barrel and sort through left mail to deliver at home.

PM: Floreana: Cormorant Point / Devil’s Crown

This site hosts a large flamingo lagoon where other birds such as common stilts, White-cheeked Pintails can also be seen. The beaches on this island are distinct: The “Green Beach” named so due to its green color, which comes from a high percentage of olivine crystals in the sand, and the “Four Sand Beach” composed of white coral.

Devil´s Crown: One of the best snorkeling sites in the Galapagos, this volcanic crater has been eroded by the waves leaving the northern and southern sides poking out of the water. The coral reef in the middle is perfect for attracting marine life. Snorkelers enjoy the variety of marine life and exciting currents that rush through the crown, creating an exhilarating experience

Day 4: Santa Cruz Island

AM: Santa Cruz: Black Turtle Cove

Black Turtle Cove is situated in the northern part of Santa Cruz. This inlet is surrounded by mangroves and is only accessible by dinghy. The shallow cove is a safe haven for young marine life. Blacktip and whitetip reef sharks, sea turtles, and a variety of rays are often spotted here.

Reviews

@Charissa Cope

An unforgettable experience, thanks to the good planning and execution by Ocean Spray’s crew. They responded quickly to our concerns and questions pre-departure, and after embarking, everything went as planned without a hitch. I will never forget the playful sea lion that followed me through the entire snorkeling trip pulling at my fin every now and then.

@Daniel Shepherd

Samy Cruz, the naturalist guide did an amazing job and he was extremely knowledgeable. Isabela island is a gem, being able to spot a galapagos penguin was a dream come true. The entire crew was also very attentive to our needs: and this includes the barman, the cabin stewards, the board manager, and even the kitchen attendants. We spend a wonderful moment, thank you
