About the trip
This week-long tour steps ashore on Ecuador's Galápagos Islands, steering clear of the usual cruise tracks. It begins in bustling Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz Island, with a visit to Las Grietas—where volcanic crevices hold crystal-clear pools. Next is Floreana Island, where accommodation at a community guesthouse offers a straightforward base on one of the less visited islands.
The journey continues to Isabela Island, the largest of the archipelago, where a hike to Sierra Negra Volcano provides a chance to stand on the rim of the world's second-largest volcanic crater and wander across hardened lava fields. Here you'll also find flamingos in an isolated lagoon and the giant tortoise breeding centre, a key conservation effort. With several days for hiking and snorkelling, the pace mixes adventure with time to take in the Galápagos' famously unbothered wildlife.
Travel is with G Adventures in a small group, accompanied by CEOs certified as naturalists to enrich your understanding of these unique islands. Shared transfers between destinations and a combination of hotels and community guesthouses complete the practical side, without fussing over the odd power cut or hot water shortage that comes with island life.
