Day 2 Arrive Galapagos and explore Santa Cruz (B,L,D)

Fly into Baltra Island, and then cross the Itabaca Channel, which separates this island from Santa Cruz. On the other side, a bus will take you to the highlands of Santa Cruz Island to visit the Giant Tortoises Reserve. View these reptiles in their natural habitat, a unique experience! A stop is made at the Twin Pit Craters, which is a great depression of volcanic material. Scalesia trees, ferns, mosses and orchids provide an exotic backdrop. A box lunch is provided and then it is on to the Finch Bay Eco Hotel to enjoy its multiple attractions: pool, sea kayaks, the white coral beach in front of the hotel, or a nap in your hammock. In the evening, dinner includes the flavors of local and international gastronomy, one more attraction of the Finch Bay Eco Hotel.

Days 3-8 Galapagos Island visits (6B,6L,6D)

While staying at Finch Bay you may choose optional yacht excursions to the islands of North Seymour, Plaza, Sante Fe, and Bartolome aboard the new Sea Finch Yacht. This is the fastest vessel in the Galapagos with an air-conditioned lounge, bar, and dining area; cruise the archipelago in style! Water activities abound with sea kayaking, snorkeling, and scuba diving trips offered daily. Finch Bay offers various land excursions including multisport activities, while still offering plenty of free time to swim in the pool, explore the beach, or to just relax in the Jacuzzi.
