Arrival to Galapagos & Tour to the Highlands
The tour begins with a morning flight to the Galapagos Islands (Baltra Island). Upon arrival, you will be greeted by your guide in the arrival lounge.

The first visit is to the highlands of Santa Cruz, where we will witness the strange and impressive phenomenon known as the “Twins” (Spanish: Gemelos), two deep depressions in the forested highlands. Afterwards, we will visit a nearby farm, “Rancho Primicias,” which attracts wild giant tortoises with its lush grass. This is one of the best places to observe these incredible creatures, which have given the Galapagos its famous name. Lunch will be served at the farm. Afterward, we will transfer to your hotel in Puerto Ayora.
Included meals: Lunch

Isabela Island & Tintoreas
Today we will catch the early boat from Puerto Ayora to Puerto Villamil on the Isabela Island. Arrival around 9-10 and transfer to the hotel.
In the afternoon, tour to Tintoreas. This is a 2 hours tour where you will get to do some excellent snorkeling. Pick up at the hotel and a short boat trip to “Los Tintoreras”, named after an abundant shark on Galapagos. The island is small and we have the chance to spot many marine iguanas and also the Tintoreras-shark in a canal.
The snorkeling is excellent around this island, and we reserve plenty of time to enjoy the waters and the wildlife.
Included meals: Breakfast

Excursion to the Sierra Negra volcano
Sierra Negra is the only major volcano on Isabela whose crater regions are currently open to tourism. Its impressive caldera is the largest of the Galapagos Islands. This quite long and strenuous, but adventurous hike, lets you experience dramatic scenic contrasts.
On the tour to Sierra Negra, you will start the day by boarding a local chiva-ride (an open truck with wooden benches) from Puerto Villamil to the National Park entrance. After crossing a barren lava flow with cacti and passing a flamingo lagoon, the main dirt road leads through Isabela’s surprisingly lush agricultural highlands. While gaining altitude, no fewer than five vegetation zones will be passed.
A trail along the rim of Sierra Negra Volcano leads to a viewpoint where you can try to grasp the incomprehensible dimensions of its caldera (clear weather is unpredictable, but thanks to prevailing winds, fog usually tends to dissolve on approach). Besides this, you will also enjoy watching songbirds amid the steaming volcanic landscapes.
