Discover the Wild Galapagos: 5-Day

Experience five days and four nights of Galapagos exploration aboard Galaxy Stella, a first-class boutique yacht accommodating no more than 12 guests for an intimate journey through the archipelago. The voyage combines guided excursions across Santa Cruz, North Seymour, Santa Fe, South Plaza, Genovesa, and San Cristobal with opportunities to observe distinctive wildlife including blue-footed boobies, frigatebirds, red-footed boobies, land iguanas, endemic iguanas, sea lions, and other marine life. Between excursions, guests can retreat to sea-view cabins with private en-suite bathrooms, relax in the sun deck Jacuzzi, enjoy gourmet onboard dining and the outdoor BBQ area, or connect through high-speed Starlink Wi-Fi. Snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding complement the land-based visits, while an expert bilingual Galapagos National Park Naturalist Guide leads the scheduled exploration.

Tag für Tag

Tag 1: Welcome to the Galapagos & North Seymour Wildlife

The journey aboard Galaxy Stella starts upon arrival at Baltra Airport on Santa Cruz Island. This is the gateway to the first day of the five-day Galapagos itinerary, with lunch and dinner included. In the afternoon, exploration begins at North Seymour Island. The island visit provides the opportunity to encounter two of the bird species highlighted for this destination: blue-footed boobies and frigatebirds, including their colonies. This wildlife-focused afternoon serves as the opening excursion of the cruise before guests settle into life aboard the intimate 12-passenger Galaxy Stella and prepare for the island visits and activities scheduled throughout the remainder of the itinerary.

Tag 2: Santa Fe & the Landscapes of South Plaza

Day two divides the day's exploration between Santa Fe and South Plaza. The morning is devoted to Santa Fe Island, a destination associated in the source material with endemic iguanas and snorkeling, including snorkeling with sea lions. After the morning visit, the itinerary moves to South Plaza Island for the afternoon. Here, cactus forests and land iguanas are among the notable features identified for the destination. Together, these two stops provide contrasting settings for wildlife observation and Galapagos exploration before guests return to Galaxy Stella. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are provided during the day as part of the onboard meal program.
