Itinerary

Day 1: San Cristobal - Interpretation Center & Tijeretas Hill

Welcome to the Galapagos Islands! You will be picked up by your driver at the airport and taken to your hotel for check-in. Afterward, you will visit the Interpretation Center, where you can learn a lot about the formation, history, and future of the Galapagos Islands. Following that, you'll take a short hike to Tijeretas Hill, where frigatebirds nest and where you can enjoy a wonderful view of San Cristobal. The rest of the afternoon and evening are free for you to explore.

Day 2: Kicker Rock

Today, you will embark on an excursion to the famous Kicker Rock, also known as Leon Dormido ("Sleeping Lion"). This volcanic rock formation is located in the middle of the ocean and can be reached by boat. There, you can swim with rays, turtles, sea lions, and - with a bit of luck - even hammerhead sharks! After lunch on the boat, you will visit a picturesque beach where you'll have time to relax and soak up some sun. In the afternoon, you will return to the harbor. This tour is a group tour (approximately 16 guests on board). Enjoy a free evening in San Cristobal.

Day 3: Tortoise Reserve – Puerto Chino Beach – La Lobería

In the morning, you will travel east to the prairie-like highlands. You will head to the "Galapaguera," a reserve where efforts are made to reintroduce the San Cristóbal subspecies of giant tortoises, which now only exist in the dry northeastern part of the island, to the southern part of the island. During a short hike through the expansive enclosure, you will get up close to some of these giants. Following that, you will hike down to the white sandy beach of Puerto Chino for a refreshing swim in the sea. Ground finches, yellow warblers, and Nazca boobies will curiously observe you. In the afternoon, you will make a detour to "La Lobería" Beach, home to a colony of sea lions. Overnight stay in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno.

Meals: Breakfast and Lunch Included
