4 Day Galapagos Itinerary
Day 1: San Cristobal Island: Puerto Baquerizo Moreno airport & Galapagos Tortoise Breeding Center
David Rodriguez Breeding Center
Walking through the trails of the reserve, you can see baby tortoises being reared in semi-natural conditions - a brilliant demonstration of the commitment the local people have to preserving the wildlife that makes the Galapagos so special.
Day 2: Española Island: Suarez Point, Gardner Bay & Osborn Islets
Suarez Point
Unique to Española island are also the beautiful waved albatross, that can be seen majestically launching themselves out across the ocean from the cliffs and the red and green marine iguanas.
A geological highlight are several blow holes, capable of shooting water 25m into the air, that make for a spectacular photo.
Gardner Bay, Gardner and Osborn Islets
A short panga ride will take you to the Gardner and Osborn Islets, which are superb locations for snorkeling with young sea lions and a variety of colourful tropical fish and corals.
Day 3: Floreana Island: Cormorant Point, Champion islet, Post Office Bay & Baroness Lookout
Cormorant Point
Cormorant Point features two contrasting beaches: one with green-tinted sand due to the high content of olivine crystals, and another with pure white sand (commonly known as ‘Flour Beach’) derived from pulverized coral.
The saltwater lagoon is a must-see as it is frequented by one of the largest population of Galapagos flamingos as well as other shorebirds such as stilts, white-cheeked pintails and large-billed flycatchers.
Champion islet
A panga ride to Champion Islet, an extinct shield volcano, provides a fantastic opportunity for snorkeling in an area that is known for having a high diversity of fish.
Post Office Bay
The Baroness’ Lookout
A short trail leads to a brilliant vantage point with panoramic views of the surrounding mangroves and coastline.
Day 4: Mosquera Islet, Santa Cruz Island & Baltra Airport
With no fixed trail, you are free to explore the beautiful surroundings on foot, where you will encounter a large population of sea lions, shorebirds and the striking Sally Lightfoot crabs that cling to the dark rocks.
The numerous coral reefs also make it a fantastic site for snorkeling and catching sight of a range of marine life including sharks, turtles and rays.
