About the trip

This small-group tour with G Adventures sets out from Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz Island, diving straight into the Galápagos' varied landscape. On San Cristóbal Island, a visit to the Interpretation Centre lays the groundwork, followed by snorkelling at Tijeretas and Concha Perla, where sea lions are as curious as the visitors.

The itinerary continues to Isabela Island, where a hike up the Sierra Negra Volcano offers a relatively gentle climb and expansive views over the volcanic caldera. The Charles Darwin Research Station on Santa Cruz provides insight into conservation efforts and the breeding programmes for giant tortoises.

Travel between islands is by public speedboat, which provides a practical and often lively transfer rather than a smooth passage – seasickness precautions might be wise. The tour mixes activity with wildlife encounters, led by a naturalist guide certified by the Galápagos National Park, ensuring an informed perspective without overwhelming the traveller.
