Cruise between islands and come face to face with the giant tortoise and sea lions while accompanied by our naturalist guide!

Fly from Quito 1,000 km over the deep-blue Pacific to the remote and legendary Galápagos Archipelago. Arriving to Baltra Island, you will be met by our local agent and transferred to our motorized yacht and your home for the length of your tour. After getting settled in, we will visit Black Turtle Cove for our first afternoon in the Galapagos!

Setting sail while you sleep, wake us refreshed at North Seymour - an island formed as a result of the uplift of submarine lava formation. It contains a large colony of magnificent frigate birds that gracefully soar overhead.

We will then visit Plazas Island, where we will observe the peculiar land iguanas in their natural habitat. After that is Lobos, home to nesting blue-footed boobies; and San Cristobal's Interpretation Centre offering us a keen insight into the fragile ecosystem of the Galapagos.

Continuing our journey, we observe playful sea lions on Espanola, and then marvel at Santa Cruz's extinct volcanoes and lush green vegetation highlighted by the cobalt blue backdrop of the ocean. In the afternoon we will cruise to Sante Fe Island where we can visit a cacti forest, walk amongst the iguanas or snorkel in the clear sea.

Onwards to Santiago, one of the most volcanically active islands, where we will see many young flows and picturesque volcanic cones. We then visit Puerto Egas' fur sea grottos and the rare Panoehoe lava fields in Sullivan Bay.

Bartolome Island's perfect volcanic cones, lunar craters and the famous pinnacle rock await! Climb to the summit of the island or snorkel with multi-coloured fish and watch for the occasional Galapagos Penguins before finishing this journey on the soft white sands of Bachas Beach.

"Back in June I booked a trip to the Galapagos through you; I just wanted to take the chance to say thank you for a great trip, it was truly unforgettable; both the tour operator in Quito and the boat crew were fantastic. This was my sixth trip though Footloose and I was as pleased as ever.

Thanks again
Matt Scott"
