Cruise Description |
6 Night Cruise sailing from Santa Cruz to Las Bachas aboard Treasure of Galapagos.
Our 6 night-route runs around the largest, seahorse-shaped island of Isabela, where nature seems to hunt for the greatest. Explore the virtually untouched western end of the Galapagos Islands, which has just been born out of fire. You are right on time for the first thrilling chapters of evolution! Uncover the mystery of how tough pioneer species make barren lava fields habitable; and approach bizarre outgrowths of adaptation as marine iguanas and flightless cormorants. It’s true that accessing this remote and isolated region demands longer navigation (mainly overnight), but our stable mega-catamaran enables you to witness ‘survival of the fittest’, without experiencing it.
DAY 1 AM Arrival Baltra Airport
At Baltra Airport you will have to pay your Galapagos National Park entrance fee and your luggage will be inspected.
PM Charles Darwin Research Station
The most memorable part of the Charles Darwin Research Station will probably be the successful breeding centre and its celebrity ‘Lonesome George’.
DAY 2 AM El Eden islet
El Edén is a paradisiacal tuff cone islet, just off the west coast of Santa Cruz (between Whale Bay and Dragon Hill).
PM Dragon Hill
Thanks to the successful breeding programme Dragon Hill is still populated by the largest wild population of Galapagos land iguanas on Santa Cruz.
DAY 3 AM Whitetip reef shark channel
This group of jagged rocky islets just off the coast of Puerto Villamil forms one of most stereotypical sites of the Galapagos.
Sierra Negra Volcano
Sierra Negra is a large shield volcano at the south-eastern end of Isabela Island in the Galapagos that rises to an altitude of 1124m.
PM Wetlands & Wall of tears
The wetlands and brackish lagoons of Isabela are among the best places to spot aquatic, wading and shore birds.
DAY 4 AM Moreno point
Fresh, promising greens of pioneer vegetation contrast strongly with the dead, pitch-black lava flow that once reached the ocean at Moreno Point.
PM Urbina Bay
On Isabela nature seems to hunt for the largest. The exceptional coastal plain at Urbina Bay attracts prehistoric giants in the wild, such as the largest land iguanas.
DAY 5 AM Espinoza Point (Fernandina)
Westernmost Fernandina harbours one of the world’s most virgin, untouched ecosystems, and is another crown jewel of the Galapagos.
PM Tagus cove (Isabela)
Tagus Cove is a historical anchorage at the northern entrance of Bolivar Channel (between Isabela and Fernandina).
DAY 6 AM Puerto Egas (Santiago)
Puerto Egas is historical, and the favourite site on Santiago for wildlife lovers; and it’s even the best place in the archipelago to observe Galapagos fur seals.
PM Rabida
Upon landing at this remarkable red beach, you will usually be greeted by a large bachelor colony of Galapagos sea lions.
DAY 7 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.
