ISLAND HOPPING

GALAPAGOS LAND-BASED TOURS

With its maiden voyage on March 20, 2018, the Camila motor yacht is not only the newest 16-passenger vessel to cruise the waters of the Galapagos Islands, it’s also the newest three-hulled “trimaran” vessel in the region. With greater stability than a double hull, trimaran construction allows the ship not only greater speed and fuel savings, but – above all – this reduces internal vibration of the hull, providing a more comfortable cruise.

ISLAND HOPPING

GALAPAGOS LAND-BASED TOURS

Surtrek “Island-Hopping Tours” allow travelers to visit various Galapagos Islands without having to stay on board a ship for the entire trip. Instead, travelers spend their nights in modern hotels on the islands, while heading out each morning on speedboats that take them to a different island each day. In this way, boat trips are combined with trekking, wildlife watching and snorkeling excursions. On most days you can leave your luggage in the hotel, so you’ll only have to carry a light daypack. For the land excursions, you don’t have to be in a superb physical condition, as our daily Galapagos Island-Hopping Tours are not very demanding – though they still involve walking on rough volcanic ground. But note that all of our land-based Island-Hopping tours are guided by experienced multilingual guides.

Day 1 - Quito or Guayaquil Airport Transfer – Galapagos Island Flight – Giant Tortoise Reserve – Puerto Ayora

In the morning, you will be picked up from your hotel on the Ecuadorian mainland (in Quito or Guayaquil) and driven to the airport for your flight to the Galapagos Islands’ Baltra airport, the main point of entrance to this natural paradise and situated in the heart of the Galapagos archipelago.

Upon your arrival at the airport, you will need to pay the national park entry fee, which goes to protecting both the Galapagos National Park and Marine Reserve. A member of the Surtrek team will then welcome you and accompany you on a quick shuttle bus ride to Itabaca Channel, followed by a 5-minute ferry ride to Santa Cruz Island, and then an hour drive to the town of Puerto Ayora. En route, we will stop at a Highlands reserve to see amazing Galapagos giant tortoises in the wild. You will also have a chance to walk through astonishing lava tunnels before having lunch at a local restaurant.

We will reach Puerto Ayora in the afternoon, where you will check in at your selected hotel and still have plenty of free time to explore the town at your leisure. Later that evening there will be a welcome dinner for you at a local restaurant.

Day 2 - Island-Hopping Tour – Bartolome Island
[To protect the fragile environment of the Galapagos Islands, the park administrators control the flow of visitors to the various islands. Consequently, just in case one site reaches is visitor limit for this day, and therefore becomes unavailable for us to visit, we are proposing three alternative sites for days two and three.]

Option 1: BARTOLOME ISLAND*

Departure: 6 a.m. (approximately) bus pick up. Travel time: After being picked up from your hotel, a 40-minute bus ride will take you across the island to Baltra Channel, where we will embark onto a passenger boat that has a restroom and plenty of room to relax for the 2-hour journey to Bartolome Island. The Tour: The tour begins with a hot breakfast on board the boat, along with a short introduction and tour briefing by a National Parks-accredited bilingual (English/Spanish) guide. Once we reach the island, we will disembark and take a short 40-minute walk up to the 114-meter-high summit of the island. The dramatic views here make this a fantastic spot for group photos. The trail leads through a wild and otherworldly moon-like lava landscape, a walk that advances along a wooden boardwalk built to protect visitors and the erosion of the trail.

A hot lunch and refreshments are provided back on the boat. After this, you will have a chance to go snorkeling in a small sandy cove in which you can try to keep up with the speedy Galapagos penguins there. Numerous varieties of colorful reef fish, green sea turtles and various rays are also often spotted around this snorkeling site. The best way to photograph the penguins, however, is during the ride in a “panga” (a small boat), which will take you close to the rocks and around Pinnacle Rock. It’s possible to get within 3 or 4 meters of the birds while they look on, seemingly uninterested in your fascination with them.  A light snack will be provided on the return trip to Baltra Channel, where the bus will drive you back to your hotel. 

Return:    Approx. 5 p.m.

(*) Bartolome Island is situated just off the east coast of Santiago Island and is one of the younger islands in the archipelago. This island and Sullivan Bay (off Santiago Island) were named after naturalist and lifelong friend of Charles Darwin, Sir Bartholomew James Sullivan, who was a lieutenant on board the HMS Beagle. Though having a total land area of just 1.2 sq. km., Bartolome Island offers some of the most beautiful landscapes in the archipelago. The island consists of an extinct volcano and a variety of red, orange, green and black glistening volcanic formations.

 

Option 2: SOUTH PLAZA ISLAND*

Departure: 8 a.m. (approximately) bus pick-up Travel Time: A 40-minute bus ride, followed by a 1-hour boat ride Tour: Once on the island, we will follow a path through a forest of Opuntia cactus, which often reach heights of 10 meters. Sometimes it’s difficult to know where to step due to the large numbers of land iguanas that inhabit the island; they feed on the succulent flowers of the cactus plants here. A 1 km.-long trail will take us through sea lion colonies and along a cliff top where Swallow-tailed gulls and other species nest. This is an excellent vantage point for photographing a variety of seabirds. Lunch will be served on the boat before we proceed to Punta Carrión (near the Baltra Channel) to go snorkeling with sea lions and non-aggressive Whitetip reef sharks. Return: Approx. 4:30 p.m. (depending on sea conditions)

(*) The Plazas Islands consists of two small islands just off the east coast of Santa Cruz Island, though visitors can only visit the southern island.
