Discover the best of Santa Cruz and Isabela during a 4-day, 3-night Galápagos adventure combining snorkeling, wildlife, experiential fishing, volcanic landscapes, and comfortable accommodation in a premium hotel with a swimming pool.

Day 1 – Airport Arrival & Charles Darwin Research Station

Your experience begins upon arrival at Baltra Airport, where our team will welcome you and assist with your transfer to Puerto Ayora. Your transportation includes the Lobito airport bus, the Itabaca Channel ferry, and ground transportation to your hotel.

After check-in, settle into your premium hotel with a swimming pool before heading out in the afternoon to visit the Charles Darwin Research Station. Learn about the conservation of the Galápagos giant tortoise, the unique ecosystems of the islands, and the important work carried out to protect native and endemic species.

Return to your hotel and enjoy the rest of the evening at your leisure.

Day 2 – Full-Day Isabela Island & Tintoreras Snorkeling

Start early with your journey from Santa Cruz to Isabela Island.

Explore the island and visit the Giant Tortoise Breeding Center, where you will learn about the conservation programs that protect the different giant tortoise populations of Isabela.

Continue your experience with time to discover the island before heading toward the famous Tintoreras Islet.

Walk across volcanic landscapes surrounded by marine iguanas and unique Galápagos scenery, then enter the water for a snorkeling experience in the clear waters surrounding Tintoreras.

Depending on natural conditions, you may encounter sea turtles, white-tip reef sharks known locally as tintoreras, sea lions, rays, colorful reef fish, and other marine wildlife. Galápagos penguins may also be observed in the area.


Day 3 – Pinzón Island Snorkeling & Experiential Fishing

Prepare for one of the most exciting marine days of the itinerary: a full-day boat trip to the waters around Pinzón Island.

This experience is focused mainly on snorkeling, with approximately 85% of the excursion dedicated to exploring the marine environment and the remaining portion featuring traditional experiential fishing and navigation.

Swim in crystal-clear waters and look for sea turtles, playful sea lions, reef sharks, rays, tropical fish, and other marine species that make the waters around Pinzón one of the highlights of Santa Cruz.

You will also have the opportunity to participate in an experiential fishing activity with the crew, enjoy beautiful coastal scenery, take photographs, relax during the navigation, and enjoy lunch aboard the boat.


Day 4 – Santa Cruz Highlands & Airport Transfer

After breakfast and hotel check-out, your final adventure begins on the way to Baltra Airport.

Travel into the lush Santa Cruz Highlands and visit Rancho El Chato, one of the best areas on the island to observe Galápagos giant tortoises roaming freely in their natural environment.
