Visit Galapagos on a small yacht tour 5 day itinerary Central and north Islands

Transfer to Santa Cruz and arrive at Baltra Island.

Santa Cruz Island: Black Turtle Cove

Our first stop is Black Turtle Cove, which is located in Santa Cruz's northern region. This bay is only accessible by dinghy and is surrounded with mangroves. The shallow cove provides safe shelter for marine life. Here you will often see black-tip reef sharks and marine turtles.

Rabida Island

The visitor site, located east of Rabida Island's coast, is composed of a red sandy beach, a lagoon behind the beach and a loop trail. The trail runs approximately 1.1 km.

The porous volcanic material that forms the rocks and sands on the beach has been oxidized by environmental factors such as rain, salt water, and the sea breeze. Apart from the vegetation in the arid zone, the main attraction is the red sand beaches and presence of endemic and native species.

Chinese Hat Islet

It is a small island located on the coast of Santiago. From afar, it looks like a Chinese hat. It is composed of a cone-shaped "Splatter" island (lava that has been ejected from drops and falls near its source, which forms an inclined cone) that forms the summit. There are many lava tubes that run down to the coast. Pillow-type lava formations can be seen to the west. These are signs that the flows have been elevated upwards from under the sea, which is why coral heads can be found on the lava. This is a great place to learn about geological features like lava tubes or lava flows. It takes approximately half an hour to complete the trek, which is 700m round trip.

North Seymour Island

The volcanic marine lava that formed this island was lifted to create it. This island was home to marine fossils. The fossil dates back to the Pleistocene. The Capitan Alan Hancock took 72 land iguanas to Baltra Island in 1932. After that, the iguanas were moved to North Seymour Island. This was because they could live in better conditions in North Seymour Island. Capitan Hancock's crew found Baltra's malnourished iguanas. In 1934, colonizing people confirmed that the iguanas lived in good conditions. North Seymour's vegetation is lush and hosts the Real Frigates from Galapagos. Return to Galaxy Lunch

This is the most sophisticated and modern architectural space designed for the natural interpretations of Galapagos. Here you can learn about the evolution of the species and the history of human settlements in order to better understand its complex systems and management model. Transfer out.
