Description

On the first day, fly to the Galapagos Islands to San Cristobal. Be met at the airport and taken to your hotel in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. The rest of the afternoon is at leisure. Visit the nearby Tijeretas viewing hill on well-signposted paths and the beautiful beaches of Cabo de Horno and Playa Man on the way back. Also visit the Interpretation Center in front of Playa Man. The small bay at Punta Carola is an ideal place for swimming and snorkeling. On the second day, after breakfast, take a short walk to the nearby dock, which is the meeting point of your excursion. From here, a day tour with an English-speaking guide to the rocky island of Kicker Rock begins. Here you will see frigate birds and pelicans as well as tropicbirds, blue-footed boobies, and Nazca boobies. Snorkel and immerse yourself in the fantastic underwater world. Leon Dormido or Kicker Rock is considered one of the best diving and snorkeling spots, as you can not only see lots of colorful fish here, but also turtles, giant rays, and hammerhead sharks. Afterwards, visit a secluded beach in Puerto Grande before returning to the dock. On the third day, your private english speaking guide pickes you up at your hotel and will bring you to the highlands of the island. Here you hike to 'El Junco' lagoon, the largest freshwater lake in Galápagos. Afterwards, you will get to your mountain bikes and drive downhill to the eastern side of the island. Here you first visit the giant tortoises at “La Galapaguera” breeding center before swimming with the sea lions at the small Puerto Chino beach. In the afternoon, you return to Pt. Baquerizo Moreno. From the highest point of the street you again go by bike downhill to the “La Lobería” beach where a lot of sealions relax on the beach and swim in the water. With your guide you continue along the signposted path for 1 km to the “Las Negritas” cliffs, where many blue-footed boobies and other seabirds nest, including the unique tropicbird. On the last day, depending on your departure date, take a last bath in the ocean before your driver will pick you up at your hotel and bring you to the airport, where you board your flight back home.
