After breakfast, we board a bus that takes us to Santa Cruz Island's highlands. We will visit the twin craters and native forests. Lunch is served at the Yacht.
Afternoon: We will land at the Pier for a visit of the Charles Darwin Station (and its Interpretive Center). For a stroll through the small town, you can appreciate many handicrafts. After a delicious dinner, we return to the Yacht for our evening orientation.
After breakfast, we land on Punta Pitt on San Cristobal Island. The trail leads to an olivine beach measuring approximately 90m and then climbs up to the summit of a volcanic hill. Punta Pitt is made of volcanic tuff substrate. Natural erosion has been caused by the high winds that can be seen there. The only place in Galapagos Islands where you can see the 3 species of boobies nesting together with 2 species frigates is this site. We come aboard for a delicious lunch.
Later on, the experienced Captain sails effortlessly around Kicker Rock (Leon Dormido), which is a huge tuff-rock about 500 feet from the ocean. Many seabirds nest at Kicker Rock. Optional: Time for people who wish to swim or snorkel. We then make a dry landing at Cerro Brujo where we can walk on a white sand shore and view sea lions, brown ibis, marine iguanas, and blue-footed boobies. Optional: Time for those who wish to swim, snorkel, and/or kayak. After dinner, we return to the Yacht for our nightly orientation.
After breakfast, we embark on an early departure to Las Bachas Beach where we can admire a Flamingo lagoon. Your guide will explain details about the lives and habits of all the animals and birds during the walks. At 09:00, we return to the Yacht and disembark on the Pier. You will be accompanied by your guide on the bus ride to the airport.
