Itinerary

Experience the old-world Ecuadorian charm of Quito, the world’s highest capital city. Perhaps settle in at a plaza-side cafe to people-watch or wander the winding, cobbled streets of the Old Town.

Fly to Baltra, where a quick transfer to the sailing vessel will see the Complete Galapagos adventure off to an exciting start. That afternoon, visit the beautiful beach of Las Bachas – a wildlife hotspot and a major egg-laying site for Santa Cruz’s sea turtles.

Snorkel in the jade-green waters of Darwin Bay.

Get up close and personal with some of the unique wildlife of the Galapagos.

The second largest island in the Galapagos, Santa Cruz is home to Puerto Ayora’s economic hub and the Charles Darwin Research Station. There are plenty of opportunities for close encounters with the friendly giant tortoises courtesy of the island’s breeding program.

Encounter the spectacular blue lagoons of the Galapagos’ largest island.

Walk among Fernandina’s volcanic scenery and keep an eye out for marine iguanas.

Walk across the black sand beaches of Santiago Island and visit sea turtle nesting sites.

Visit the nesting ground for the magnificent frigatebird before returning to Quito.

One last breakfast in Quito offers the final chance to take in some Ecuadorian culture.
