Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
This full day tour starts at 8:00 AM from the Hotel Silberstein.
The day tour offers travelers the golden chance to get to know the northern island Seymour as well as Bachas beach.
Transfer by bus to the yacht at Itabaca Channel. Witness the awakening of the archipelago throughout the one hour cruise to Seymour Island. Disembark straight to the rocky coast near a small forest consisting of gray and silver trees called the Palo Santo (Holy Stick), which is without leaves for most of the year.
Seymour Island is famous for its large colonies of different bird species. Watch male frigatebirds attract females during breeding time with their unique red chest pouches, or observe the famous Galapagos blue-footed boobies do their impressive courtship dance. Other highlights of this excursion are the small cliffs along the beach, the observation of seagulls, many sea lions, marine iguanas and pelicans. Most of these animals will be just an arm's length away!
Your freshly cooked lunch consists of two courses, and is served back on the yacht. During siesta time, the yacht continues to Bachas beach at the Northern coast of Santa Cruz. Upon arrival, we suggest a short hike to a flamingo pond just behind the beach. Afterwards, refresh with swimming and snorkeling at this remote, breathtaking beach with white sand and turquoise water! Sea lions, different kind of rays, tortoises, and tropical fish may join your underwater experience!
The return to Puerto Ayora is approximately at 2:30 PM.

Good to ideal period to travel, and many people choose to visit at this time.
Beyond expectations! Then again we weren't sure what to expect. Lovely stay at the lodge, met other like-minded travelers (many had their trips planned by Adventure Life) and the owner was a gracious hostess. It felt like you were one happy family, visiting with a favorite aunt.

I spoke with at least a half dozen other travel companies, looking for a Galapagos cruise that fit our schedule and budget. Some companies could manage one or the other, but Erin was the only one who could do both. She found us the perfect cruise, at a fantastic price! And she has been quick and patient with responses to my many questions. So far, Adventure Life has been a fantastic company to work with!
