BRIEF ITINERARY

Day 1 Arrive Quito: Arrive in Quito at any time.

Day 2 San Cristóbal (L, D): Transfer early to the airport for our flight to the Galapagos Islands. Upon arrival in San Cristóbal, meet our naturalist leader, who will assist with the transfer to the G.A.P Adventurer II. Our first landing is at La Loberia, to see the magnificent frigate birds and catch a glimpse of sea lions and marine iguanas.

Day 3 Española (B,L,D): Head to Punta Suarez on Española Island. The southernmost island in the Galapagos is home to several wildlife species, including masked and blue-footed boobies. Sail in the afternoon to Garner Bay, an excellent swimming and snorkelling site.

Day 4 Floreana (B,L,D):
Reach Floreana Island in the morning and stop at Post Office Bay. This is a historic site where mariners from around the world would deposit and collect letters from a “post office barrel.” Even today visitors may drop off and pick up letters, without stamps, to be carried to far destinations.

Day 5 Santa Cruz (B): In the morning arrive at Puerto Ayora, on Santa Cruz Island for a visit to the Charles Darwin Research Station. Transfer to the airport for our flight to Quito, and then on to our hotel. Final night on the town.
