Itinerary B

Day by day

Day 1: San Cristóbal Island: Kicker Rock

San Cristóbal Island Airport

The only commercial jet airliner airport we know that is located walking distance from town.

San Cristóbal Island, Leon Dormido

Rising several hundred feet above the water, this majestic volcanic monolith is one of the most photographed sites in the islands. Keep an eye on the cliffs for blue-footed and Nazca boobies and frigatebirds. While there are no landing sites, Kicker Rock provides excellent snorkeling opportunities. You may see Galápagos and hammerhead sharks, spotted eagle rays, turtles and tropical fish.

Day 2: Santa Cruz Island & North Seymour Island

Santa Cruz Island, Black Turtle Cove

The cove is located on the north coast of the island and is only accessible by boat. A quiet boat ride through the mangroves may reveal lava herons, sea turtles, spotted rays, and a variety of shark species, including black and white tipped reef sharks and Galapagos sharks.

North Seymour Island

From the small dock, the trail leads along the coast — past an area where marine iguanas nest — and then loops into the palo santo forest by the nests of frigatebirds and boobies. The frigatebirds rely on the fishing success of the blue-footed boobies for their survival, stealing their catches.

Day 5: Isabela Island: Tintorera & Wetlands
