Punta Pitt. The adventure begins with an early departure on our comfortable speed boat. Enjoy the coastline view as we navigate for 2 hours to our first stop: Galapaguera Natural. This hiking trail winds trough native vegetation complete with mockingbirds and finches, but keep your eyes open, this is the site where the endemic Giant Tortoises are released into the wild! Enjoy the peace and quiet while snapping a few photos, the walk is estimated to be between 2-3 hours’ round trip. Upon return to the boat, we continue a short distance to Punta Pitt. Get your snorkel gear on and discover the underwater world at Islote Pitt. Back on board, we’ll have a tasty lunch ready for you. Next, we’ll hike up the uniquely formed rocks to appreciate a beautiful ocean view. At this site, we can see Red-Footed Boobies, Blue-Footed Boobies, and Nazca Boobies, as well as other sea birds.

Española Island Located in the extreme southeast (about 2hrs in speedboat) and is considered along with Santa Fe as one of the oldest islands in the archipelago.

IMPORTANT NOTE: * FYI, Española is well known for the presence of the endemic albatross, they nest on the island between mid -March to mid-December with probabilities you also can see them on January.

Early in the morning you are sailing to Santa Cruz island unaccompanied by public speedboat (2 hours). Speedboat rides can be bumpy therefore prepare yourself with seasickness medication. You will receive a box breakfast.

Upon arrival to Puerto Ayora, our representative will meet you at the port and take you to your accommodation.

Enjoy a few free time before heading to the highlands of Santa Cruz where we will have an amazing opportunity to get close to giant tortoises roaming in their natural habitat.
