Embark Galaxy Daily provides a day trip to Bartolome and Sullivan Bay, two must-see Galapagos sites. Bartolome is a beautiful island with an iconic pinnacle, accessible through a picturesque walk and a 395-step climb to reach the summit, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of the island and pinnacle. The walk also features small lava tunnels created by the last eruption, with endemic vegetation like lava cacti and tiquilla plants, and Darwin's finches. Next, visit Sullivan Bay, a mesmerizing place in the Galapagos for snorkeling in its crystalline waters and immersing yourself in the Galapagos' marine fauna and captivating underwater world.

Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
The journey will begin at the meeting place. Heading towards Bartolome Island, which is located northwest of Santa Cruz and is known for its famous pinnacle. Here you will have the opportunity to see one of the most beautiful landscapes of the Galapagos Islands while learning about the volcanic origins of the Islands. Have a dry landing as you arrive at Bartolome.
Then, begin the walk along a path that will take you to the top of the island. The 395 steps will end with a spectacular panoramic view of the island and its pinnacle, being the moment to take that stunning photo of your trip. Observe small lava tunnels from the last eruption during the walk. Here, endemic vegetation grows, such as lava cacti and tiquilla plants, generally surrounded by Darwin's finches.
Pinnacle Rock was formed by volcanic ash. After being impressed by the view from this point, enjoy a zodiac ride along the coast. Then, with some luck, you will see the only tropical penguin and the second smallest in the world, the penguin from Galapagos.
After a breathtaking experience in Bartolome, enjoy a succulent lunch onboard the Galaxy Daily. Then, head towards Sullivan Bay, where you will enjoy the marine fauna of the Galapagos while you snorkel. Sullivan Bay is one of the most beautiful places in the Galapagos to snorkel due to its crystal-clear waters!

Kelly and Rhenee were excellent to work with on planning our trip. The logistics all worked smoothly and everyone was friendly and on time. Our accommodations were very good, particularly the incredible Patagonia Camp in Torres del Paine! Our guides on every excursion were outstanding and made the hikes memorable! Overall we had a wonderful trip with incredible memories!

Adventure Life is definitely a first-class safari tour company, and our representative was Franny Friesz. First of all, she responded immediately after we contacted Adventure Life. We told Franny that we had never been on a safari, and she was more than eager to offer a mountain of information about the trip. She informed us fully about all the ups, downs, and all arounds! She even prepared a number of packages for us to review -- even after we made changes to the areas we wanted to explore. Friendly, helpful, professional, and extremely knowledgeable -- these words describe Franny, and what a wonderful trip she prepared! We couldn't have asked for better service than Franny of Adventure Life. We HIGHLY recommend her and her outstanding company! Bon Voyage!

The staff at Adventure Life made planning my family's trip to the Galapagos Islands as easy as possible. They listened to what we were hoping to experience and made thoughtful suggestions about how to accomplish our vacation goals while meeting the needs of travelers ages 17-76! They patiently answered questions and follow up questions in the months leading up to the trip. They helped us trouble shoot and customize the trip in every way possible. The logistics involved in traveling from Boston to the Galapagos are innumerable. The Adventure Life staff helped us arrange every detail and the team they assembled in the Galapagos was tremendous. I have never done a trip this big before and after working with Adventure Life this time--would not hesitate one second in working with them again.
