Get ready for a day of discovery with our exclusive tour, starting at 8:00 a.m. in the vibrant town of Puerto Ayora. From there, a shuttle will take us to Itabaca Channel, where we’ll board our yacht for a short 45-minute cruise into a pristine natural environment.
Approximately 80% of the tour will be dedicated to guided hikes along scenic trails, revealing spectacular landscapes and the unique flora and fauna of the islands.
During the walk, you’ll have the chance to witness blue-footed boobies performing their courtship dance, male frigatebirds inflating their red throat pouches to attract mates, plus gulls and pelicans nesting or caring for their young. Land iguanas —nicknamed Galápagos dragons—are also commonly seen basking along the trail.
After this immersive hike, we’ll return to the yacht and set sail toward Bachas Beach, a stunning spot with white sand and turquoise waters. There, you’ll enjoy snorkeling and beach time, swimming in calm, crystal-clear waters and relaxing under the Galápagos sun.
Our yacht accommodates a maximum of 16 passengers, ensuring a comfortable, personalized experience guided by expert local naturalists.
This tour is ideal for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts seeking an authentic, up-close encounter with the extraordinary ecosystems of the Galapagos Islands.
