Greetings to Voyagers Travel, the entrance to exceptional boat trips in the Galapagos. Begin an incredible voyage through the breathtaking Galapagos Islands, where you will come across a variety of ecosystems, exceptional wildlife, and captivating natural marvels.

Participate in an indelible expedition as we delve into the main attractions of this enchanting group of islands.

Day 1: Santa Cruz Islands & North Seymour Island

The day begins with a plane ride from the mainland to galapagos. Our guide will pick you up at the airport and take your luggage with him to the port, where the motorized panga boat is waiting to transport you to your cabin on the Catamaran Seaman Journey. North seymour Island is the next stop after a briefing onboard and lunch.

North Seymour Island was raised from a volcano. The island is generally flat and covered in large boulders. Nesting sites are perfect for frigate birds. Blue-footed Boobies court in open areas, while the swallow-tailed Geese rest on the edges of the cliffs. Bodysurfing Sea Lions are also seen stranded along the beach. North Seymour is easy to get around, thanks to its wide trails. There is wildlife nearby that isn't afraid of people.

Day 2: Genovesa Island: El Barranco & Darwin Bay

On the island's southern rocky side, El Barranco is the starting point for the second day. The 1.5km volcanic rock trail can be done in two hours. The lava that makes up this cliff to the South of Town is fragile. Storm Petrels nests thrive in these natural erosion of lava flows. In the holes and crevices of lava, two species nest.

Genovesa, one of the outer islands. Also present is the nazca booby. The "pangas" along the cliffs allow you to see fur sea lions and several species of seabirds. It is an absolute must on any Galapagos holiday.

Darwin Bay is the next stop after El Barranco. Birdwatchers are attracted to this island for its ability to provide them with a chance of seeing lava gulls, lava herons, both black-crowned and yellow-crowned, and yellow warblers.

Visitors can observe Red-footed Boobies in Mangroves below as the trail climbs up. Bird-watching includes seeing Galapagos Doves and Sharp-beaked finches as well as Large cactus.

Day 3: Santa Cruz Island: South Plazas & Santa Fe Island

Arriving at Plazas Islands will be a high point of your journey. South Plazas Islands, despite its size, has some of the best and most fascinating species found in Galapagos.

The islands are home to many fascinating and rare species. The iguanas on Plazas are smaller than those of other islands. Many hybrid iguanas live on the island. These hybrid iguanas are a mix between marine iguanas and land lizards.

Day 4: San Cristobal Island: Jacinto Gordillo Breeding Center & Transfer out

We want you to have a memorable last day on the Galapagos Cruise. This day you'll land in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. The experiences begin with an excursion in the morning to the Breeding and Rearing Center, Jacinto Gordillo located on Cerro Cristobal, San Cristobal Island. Here, the experts will take care of the young tortoises and explain the various processes and attempts to maintain tortoise populations. The breeding center is a great opportunity for you to learn about how the process works, but also interact and discover why this breeding program has been so successful.

Our guide will take you back to the airport to catch your flight home, bringing with him the wonderful memories from your Galapagos cruise.
