Return to the airport to catch an early flight to San Cristobal Island to begin your Galapagos tour. Upon arrival, meet your guide and transfer to your hotel in the town of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. Here, you will have a short briefing to prepare for your upcoming adventure.

In the afternoon, visit "La Loberia," a beach that is home to large Galapagos sea lions. Enjoy a leisurely walk for about an hour that takes you through lava rocks and mangroves. Along the way, keep an eye out for the red-billed tropicbird, blue-footed bobbies, and Nazca bobbies that live in this area. Along the shore, you can witness yellow warblers, frigate birds, and various species of Darwin's finches. Between the rocks, you may also see marine iguanas, which are exclusively found in the Galapagos. At the end of your walk, you will have an opportunity for some shallow water snorkeling to observe sea lions and sea turtles. Enjoy the beach and go for a refreshing swim before returning to your hotel.

Day 3: Snorkel San Cristobal's Northern Coast

Accommodations
1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch

Travel to San Cristobal's northern coast by boat, where you will have the opportunity to visit Kicker Rock, popularly known as the Sleeping Lion (Leon Dormido). Small boats are able to access the narrow waterway that was formed by the remains of a lava cone eroded by the sea. The remaining two vertical rocks, standing 500 feet (150 meters) above the ocean, are home to many tropic birds, frigate birds, and boobies that fill the skies and turn this natural monument into a stunning sight. The pristine waters beneath the sea offer a magnificent show of colorful creatures and you might even be lucky enough to spot hammerhead and white tip sharks. Spend some time on the beach after lunch before returning to the hotel.

Day 4: Biking Isabela | Wall of Tears | Snorkel Concha y Perla

Accommodations
1 Breakfast

After breakfast, transfer by a small plane to Isabela Island, the largest island in the Galapagos and one of the most volcanically active places on the planet. Set out on a bike ride through a variety of environments and ecosystems, including white sand beaches, mangrove forests, brackish lagoons, and a lava tube cave. Isabela is well known for the 5 subspecies of giant tortoise that live in its cloudforests, and as you ride you may see these, as well as flamingos and other wildlife. Isabela’s salty lagoons are also home to a wide range of sea birds, offering some of the best birding in the Galapagos. Your ride will bring you to el Muro de las Lagrimas (Wall of Tears). Prisoners were forced to build this wall of lava rocks to keep them distracted back in the days when the island was used as a penal colony. After lunch you have the chance to walk through the mangrove forest to Concha y Perla bay for snorkeling.

Day 5: Arnaldo Tupiza Hike | Lava Tunnels Snorkeling

Accommodations
1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch

In the morning, enjoy a lovely hike to the Arnaldo Tupiza breeding center, located 1.2 km from Puerto Villamil. The trail passes through mangrove ecosystems, wetlands, lava fields, carob forests, and Manzanillo. Once you arrive at the center, you will be able to see several different species of giant tortoise that come from the Cerro Azul and Sierra Negra volcanoes. These species include Casserole, Five Hills, Roca Union, San Pedro, Five Hills, Caleta Iguana, Tables and Cerro Paloma.

In the afternoon, explore the amazing formations of lava along the seashore, created by the last eruptions of this volcanic island. This magical place has historically been filmed by BBC and National Geographic for their documentaries. It is a labyrinth of lava arches and crystal clear water full of sea turtles, eagle rays, sea lions, sharks and more. The turtles navigate their own highway from the mangroves to the open sea through "Los Tuneles". Here, you will have the best snorkeling opportunity with all these beautiful animals, including the curious Galapagos penguins. Before or after the trip, you can relax on the exotic white-sand beaches of Isabela Island.

Day 6: Sierra Negra & Volcan Chico Hike | Tintoreras Islet Kayak

Accommodations
1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch

From Puerto Villamil, you will journey to the highlands for a 6 mile (9 km) hike near the rim of the Sierra Negra Volcano. Sierra Negra is an active volcano which last erupted into a blazing show in October 2018. From this altitude, you will enjoy a fantastic view of the 5 mile-wide crater, the Perry Isthmus, and the other volcanoes beyond. From here you will continue to Chico Volcano, with its puffing fumaroles and striking lava formations. Isabela offers an out-of-this-world environment that exemplifies the dramatic geological events that have forged the Galapagos Islands.

This afternoon, visit Tintoreras Islet, a short distance from Puerto Villamil and home to a variety of wildlife, via kayak. White-tipped reef sharks, Galapagos Penguins, marine turtles, and sea lions live in its blue, crystalline seas. One of its beaches, which is surrounded by mangroves, is one of the few places in the world where marine iguanas may successfully spawn.

Day 7: Charles Darwin Research Center | Santa Cruz Highlands | Biking to Garrapateros Beach

Accommodations
1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch

Cross from Isabela to Santa Cruz Island in the morning by boat. After checking in to your hotel, visit the Charles Darwin Research Station to discover more about the Galapagos Islands' ongoing conservation and management initiatives. You will also have the opportunity to see many of the endemic species of tortoise that may be found in the wild on the islands.

After visiting the tortoises in the Research Station, head to the Santa Cruz highlands where the iconic Galapagos tortoises can be found roaming freely. You'll have lunch at a private ranch before going on a trek in search of giant tortoises. You'll also see some lava tubes, which emerge when a lava stream's surface freezes.

Afterward, ride your bikes to Garrapateros Beach on the other side of the island. Make a stop at the Trapiche along the way to learn about the sugarcane liquor production process. Finally, return to your hotel to celebrate your wonderful journey. Spend your final evening in the Galapagos tasting a variety of traditional and fusion Galapagos meals while sipping a glass of wine and taking in the breathtaking views of the bay and town.

Day 8: Baltra Airport | Quito

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!

Adventure Life (with partner Adventure Journey) got us the real experience that we were hoping for. The food was definitely above what we expected, as were the accomodations. Gabriel S. (our Galapagos guide) was so very personable and tuned in that we felt we had the premium of experiences (food, activities, people to meet and interact with). Our experience in the Cloud Forest was an impressive "birding" experience with great accomodations and wonderful food.

I just returned from a 10 day trip to Ecuador and The Galapagos Island. From the very first conversation with Adventure Life until my return, everything went smoothly. It was a great trip! Adventure Life excels at communication and organization. Every detail was considered, which made the preparation for my trip really easy. In country, my guides were outstanding...friendly, knowledgeable, on time, professional. I really can't say enough good things about how well I was taken care of during my trip. When flying to a new country it's comforting to be met by a friendly face at the airport who knows where you're going! All of my hotels were well-located and thoughtfully selected for comfort and historic interest. The yacht I sailed on through the islands exceeded my expectations in every way. My cabin was very comfortable, the food we were served was excellent and the crew was first-class. Our Park Guide found the perfect balance between fun and education. His passion for the Galápagos Islands was evident in every activity on every island. I look forward to planning my next trip with Adventure Life, and thank their entire team for making this adventure wonderful!

Kevin had first hand experience of Ecuador and The Galapagos which helped us plan time before and after our visit to the Galapagos by water. We always plan our travel independently, but since we needed a guide in the galapagos, this was a perfect blend of self plan and assistance.

Adventure Life helped guide us toward just the right trip for us and then made all the planning super easy. We absolutely loved our time at Hacienda Jimenita in Quito and on the Anahi in the Galapagos and would recommend both to anyone. Everything went so smoothly from start to finish because Adventure Life took care of all the arrangements.
