Sailing across the four-island system by panga and expedition ship, Santa Cruz II, while you and your family take in the sweeping vistas on both land and sea. Explore the lagoons on Baltra Island, which host a variety of species within its environment, including pintail ducks, flamingos, and stilts. Snorkel in Buccaneer Cove on Santiago Island, where local sea lions may sneak up on you and startle you. Climb up Bartolomé Island for sweeping views at the top.

See the island’s intricacies firsthand. Even the crabs are distinctive here, with their vivid red and yellow shells that give quite a contrast to the black-lava rocks of these volcanic islands, from the red sand of Jervis Island to the marine iguanas that seek for food in the water. Learn from Galápagos naturalists who accompany you on your trip, go for walks on lava fields, go ashore by pangas, swim and snorkel, and much more.
