Day 1: Coastal Area Exploration

Day 2: 360° Sightseeing Tour
At 6:55 a.m., our coordinator will be waiting for you outside your hotel to take you to the agency, where you will meet your naturalist guide and receive your snorkel gear and wetsuit.
At 7:30 a.m., you'll board a boat for 12 passengers and begin the tour of five iconic sites:
• Kicker Rock, Sardina Bay, and Rosa Blanca: Snorkeling with sharks, manta rays, and a variety of fish.
• Cerro Brujo and Punta Pitt: Observation from the boat of iconic birds such as the blue-footed booby, the red-footed booby, and the Nazca booby.
The return to Puerto Baquerizo Moreno is scheduled between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m., depending on sea conditions.
Day 3: Parte Alta and Lobería Beach Sightseeing Tour
At 8:30 a.m., the taxi will pick you up at your hotel to start the tour to El Junco Lagoon and the Turtle Breeding Center (Galapaguera), where you will have a guided visit exclusively in this area. Afterwards, you will visit Puerto Chino Beach, returning to the cruise port at 12:30 p.m. for lunch. At 3:00 p.m., you'll visit La Lobería Beach, where you can snorkel and enjoy a wide variety of marine life, such as parrotfish, sea lions, iguanas, and sea turtles.
Day 4: Snorkeling Tour on Española Island
At 7:00 AM, the boat trip to Española Island begins. The first snorkeling activity will take place at Gardner Islet, where you can swim alongside sea lions, sea turtles, and colorful fish.
After snorkeling, fresh fruit and hot drinks will be served on board, followed by lunch. The sightseeing tour then continues with a guided hike at Punta Suárez, of moderate difficulty and ideal for observing endemic species such as the Waved Albatross (during the nesting season from April to December), Blue-footed Boobies, Nazca Boobies, Galapagos Hawks, Marine Iguanas, lizards, and Short-eared Owls.
As part of the tour, you will visit El Soplador, a natural formation located on the island's rocky coast. The force of the ocean as it crashes into the lava cracks causes the water to be expelled with great power, rising several meters and creating a spectacular natural show.
