The day starts at 7:00 at the entrance of Puerto Ayora Church in front of the pier. Guests should be at the meeting point 10 minutes before departure. From there, transport connects with Itabaca Channel and Itabaca Channel serves as both the departure pier and the arrival pier for the trip. At Bartolome Island, a dry land marks the beginning of the walking part. Follow the path upward, climbing 395 steps before reaching the top and the wide view over Bartolome Island and Pinnacle Rock. Along the way, the volcanic character of Bartolome Island shows itself through lava tunnels from the last eruption. Lava cacti, tiquilla plants and Darwin’s finches also belong to the surroundings of Bartolome Island. The source notes that volcanic ash formed Pinnacle Rock. Once the walking part is complete, explore the coast aboard a zodiac. Watch for Galapagos penguins may be seen with some luck. The itinerary then reaches Sullivan Bay, where snorkeling provides an opportunity to enjoy Galapagos life in crystal-clear waters. Return to Itabaca Channel is scheduled for 17:00.
