Start your Galapagos tour with an educational twist by visiting the Charles Darwin Research Center, only a five-minute leisurely walk from your hotel. Dolphins and manta rays may provide a little extra company during optional yacht excursions around Santa Cruz’s South Plaza, where the sheer cliffs come alive with frigate birds, masked boobies, and swallow-tailed gulls. The striking black lava beaches of North Seymour Island welcome you as you explore the largest frigate bird colony found within the Galapagos archipelago. Next, your adventure may take you to the Santa Cruz Highlands, which is home to a number of giant tortoise subspecies, lava tubes, and craters. Be sure to explore Sante Fe Island, where you can enjoy snorkeling in the clear, radiant green waters or hunting for the Sante Fe land iguanas among the Opuntia Cactus. On Floreana feel free to search for mail from your homeland at Post Office Bay, snorkel in its underwater paradise, or simply watch a solitary flamingo foraging for crustaceans. The Hotel Silberstein and the Galapagos Islands await you!
