Itineraries
Day 1
Pick-up / Tortuga Bay
Tortuga Bay
Tortuga Bay, a long and impressive beach, boasts white sand and excellent conditions for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and hiking.
Tortuga Bay Beach is located approximately 3 km from the Gus Angermeyer Tourist Pier.
Upon entering the protected area, you must register your visit at the Galapagos National Park booth.
A trail, surrounded by cactus and palo santo vegetation, leads to the Playa Brava area.
Continuing along the beach for another half kilometer, you'll reach a small cactus forest, home to a population of marine iguanas, in the Playa Mansa area, a cove whose calm waters give it its name.
Another way to get there is by sea; boats leave from the El Velero Pier in San Francisco Park at 2:00 pm and 5:00 pm. Similarly, boats can be found on the beach to return to Puerto Ayora.
Day 2
Santa Fe / Playa Escondida
Santa Fe / Hidden Beach
Located southeast of Santa Cruz Island, we will sail for 45 minutes to a beautiful bay with crystal-
clear turquoise waters surrounded by cacti and mangroves. From our boat, we will observe a
white sand beach teeming with sea lions and the ravines covered in a small forest of giant cacti
unique to Santa Fe. Seabirds such as pelicans, brown gulls, and blue-footed boobies will fly
overhead. As we approach, we will move closer to the beach and carefully observe the blue
sharks resting on the shore in the mangroves.
It's surprising; they show no fear of humans… a great opportunity to interact with them and take
unforgettable photos.
Snorkeling in Santa Fe is spectacular! You'll be surrounded by playful sea lions who invite you to
swim while they perform acrobatic leaps, their sweet songs making the day truly wonderful. As we
continue snorkeling, we'll encounter sea turtles, manta rays, a wide variety of multicolored fish,
and the occasional shark!
Lunch – Drinks
Recreational Fishing (45 min)
While continuing our activities around Santa Fe Island towards Hidden Beach, we'll have the
opportunity to fish for 45 minutes. The captain, with over 20 years of experience, will explain the
techniques. We'll have the chance to catch tuna, albacore, and other species.
Hidden Beach
To reach Hidden Beach, we'll sail for 30 minutes, entering a narrow inlet where we'll find a tranquil
bay with white sand. We'll disembark to relax and enjoy the sun, sand, and sea, where birds,
nesting iguanas, and even some baby sharks can be seen. The spot is ideal for swimming and
snorkeling.
Day 3
Bartolome Islands
Pick-up from 6:00 am to 5:00 pm
You can take different tours to Bartolomé, the most iconic island in the archipelago, as its
panoramic view is used to promote the Galapagos Islands. These volcanic formations are home to
penguins, sharks, manta rays, sea lions, and a wide variety of viewpoints. Bartolomé is one of the
most sought-after destinations for tourists. The tour begins at the meeting point assigned by the tour operator who has booked the Bartolomé
tour. From there, you'll travel by bus for about 45 minutes to reach the Itabaca Channel. Once
aboard, you'll sail for 2 hours to reach Bartolomé Island or another destination, depending on the
yacht's itinerary. Once on the island, you'll begin a hike to the viewpoint, which offers arguably the best view in all
of the Galapagos. Afterward, lunch will be served on board the yacht. Then, in accordance with, the permit granted to the vessel by the Galapagos National Park, one of the following activities
takes place:
Swim with penguins, sea lions, marine iguanas, and Galapagos sharks. The day tour includes
pick-up and drop-off from your hotel, lunch on board, and a guided tour led by a Galapagos
National Park Naturalist Guide. Sullivan Bay on Santiago Island: You'll have some time to snorkel; during the dry season, you can
see many penguins. Alternatively, you can request to be taken directly to the beach and take a
short walk on the dry pahoehoe lava. Golden Beach on Bartolomé Island: Although I haven't been able to do the tour to Golden Beach
on my trips to Bartolomé Island, it's similar to any other tour, which includes snorkeling, or you can
simply enjoy the beach if you prefer

Day 5
El Chato Ranch 1
The "El Chato" reserve consists of two distinct areas: "Caseta" and "Chato." The trail begins in Santa Rosa, 22 km from Puerto Ayora. The park is home to Galapagos tortoises during the dry season (February - July). They come to the beach here to lay their eggs. It is also a great place for birdwatching. From Los Gemelos to Rancho Chato.
Rancho El Chato is home to hundreds of giant Galapagos tortoises. It is amazing to see these impressive animals up close. There are numerous trails you can hike with your guide.
Behind every tree and in every meadow, another giant tortoise is hidden. They cool off in one mud puddle or another. It is truly a unique experience to see these large animals, some over a hundred years old, wandering through the grass and grazing.
