Galapagos Encounter 7 Days
This trip introduces the highlights of the northern islands of the Galapagos. From Baltra, we board the Peregrine Endeavour and head for Las Bachas, a haven for birds including pelicans, frigate birds and blue-footed boobies. We explore the volcanic craters of Rabida complete with a lagoon and a flamingo rookery. We can also swim with fur seals on Santiago Island and, on the volcanic island of Bartolome, we hike to the top for spectacular views across the islands. On Santa Cruz, we visit the Charles Darwin Centre and the Highlands for an encounter with the giant Galapagos tortoise. For something a little different we spend our last night ashore on Santa Cruz Island in the small village of Puerto Ayora, before flying back to Quito.
