Southern Wonders of Galápagos - Galapagos Monique Catamaran

Start your journey with a warm welcome at Baltra Airport, followed by a visit to the Charles Darwin Research Station on Santa Cruz Island. Explore the giant tortoise breeding center, museum, and library. In the afternoon, head into the highlands for a close-up view of giant tortoises in the wild and spot native bird species like finches and flycatchers in their natural habitat.

On Floreana, take part in a 200-year-old tradition at Post Office Bay, where travelers leave and collect mail. Enjoy snorkeling, kayaking, and exploring lava tunnels. In the afternoon, visit Cormorant Point with its contrasting beaches—green olivine sands and white coral shorelines. A nearby lagoon is home to flamingos, pintails, and stilts.

Visit Punta Suárez, one of the most biodiverse sites in Galápagos, where you’ll walk rugged trails past blue-footed and Nazca boobies, marine iguanas, and seasonal waved albatrosses. In the afternoon, relax at Gardner Bay’s stunning white sand beach or snorkel among sea lions, rays, and vibrant reef fish near Gardner and Osborn islets.

Begin the day with views of iconic Kicker Rock, a towering volcanic formation rising from the sea, before arriving at Witch Hill. Enjoy swimming or snorkeling in crystal-clear waters and admire marine life from a peaceful lagoon. After your visit, transfer to San Cristóbal Airport for your return flight.
