7 Night Cruise sailing from San Cristobal to Las Bachas aboard Archipel I.
The 8 day south-western tour aboard the catamaran Archipel I gives you an extensive overview of the Galapagos Islands. You will have the chance to combine the circumnavigation of the Isabela Island with excursions in the most southern points of the archipelago. You will also be able to snorkel with sea lions in the Loberia and visit the Charles Darwin Research Station in Santa Cruz.
DAY 1 AM: Arrival at San Cristóbal Airport (SCY)
Arrival at San Cristóbal Airport. You will have to pay your Galapagos National Park entrance fee and your luggage will be inspected.
PM: Cc. Tf David Rodríguez
Located in the southeastern area of San Cristobal, this breeding center was created to increase the population of the island’s giant tortoise. The complex includes everything, from a large enclosure to living quarters for the staff.
DAY 2 AM: South Plaza
Despite its small size, some of the most interesting and outstanding species of the Galapagos are found here. There are several hybrid iguanas- a result of crossing a male marine iguana and a female land iguana.
PM: Santa Fe
Santa Fe is home to a number of endemic species like the Galapagos Hawk, Galapagos snake, Galapagos mockingbird, rice rats and one of the two species of lands iguanas of the islands
DAY 3 AM: Champion Islet (Floreana)
Floreana offers some of most spectacular snorkelling sites, such as Champion Islet. Galapagos sea lions will be waiting to play with you if you’re lucky. From the dinghy, birdwatchers will have the chance to amplify their growing spot lists with the almost extinct Charles mockingbird.
PM: Loberia & Asylum of Peace (Floreana)
The Asylum of Peace hike goes past a mesmerising cave and visits a fascinating freshwater spring. La Loberia beach is an ideal spot to enjoy the ocean, as well as the sea lions that live there.
DAY 4 AM: El Chato Reserve - Twin Craters
El Chato Reserve is a protected area and official part of the Galapagos National Park. It extends from Cerro El Chato as far down as the southwestern coast of Santa Cruz Island, where females lay their eggs.
PM: CC Fausto Llerena
A tour at Fausto Llerena Breeding Center you can see the tortoises of Española Island, ending in the tortoise exhibit corral. Tortoises of this corral are accustomed to humans; it is an excellent spot to be photographed with them!
DAY 5 AM: Tintoreras Islet (Isabela)
This group of jagged rocky islets just off the coast of Puerto Villamil forms one of the most stereotypical sites of the Galapagos.
PM: Tortoise breeding centre & wetlands (Isabela)
The wetlands and brackish lagoons of Isabela are among the best places to spot aquatic, wading and shore birds.
DAY 6 AM: Moreno Point (Isabela)
Fresh, promising greens of pioneer vegetation contrast strongly with the dead, pitch-black lava flow that once reached the ocean at Moreno Point.
PM: Elizabeth Bay (Isabela)
At the remote Elizabeth Bay you will enjoy the best dinghy-ride of the Galapagos, which combines a visit to the Marielas Islets in the mouth of the bay, with the highest mangles in its innermost heart.
DAY 7 AM: Tagus Cove (Isabela)
Tagus Cove is a historical anchorage at the northern entrance of Bolivar Channel (between Isabela and Fernandina).
PM: Espinoza Point (Fernandina)
Westernmost Fernandina harbours one of the world’s most virgin, untouched ecosystems, and is another crown jewel of the Galapagos.
DAY 8 AM: Bachas Beach (Santa Cruz)
Strolling along its coastline, the blinding white Bachas Beach appears full of natural life. It is one of most important breeding sites for Pacific green turtles.
We expect you to return home with stunning pictures and unforgettable lifelong memories!
