A low, salty wind pushes across black lava and white-sand beaches as the morning ferry cuts between islands. On Isabela, flamingos bend like inked bows in a coastal lagoon; on Santa Cruz, the trail to Tortuga Bay opens into a wide arch of surf where marine iguanas sun themselves on rocks. The archipelago keeps motion—birds wheeling, waves erasing footprints, boats threading channels—and the days move with it.

Suitable for travelers in good general health who can manage short hikes on uneven, volcanic terrain and multiple short boat transfers.
Most visitors to the Galapagos must hold a valid passport and pay the Galapagos National Park entrance fee on arrival; visa requirements depend on your nationality—check with Ecuadorian authorities before travel.
The itinerary features short hikes, beach walks, and some uneven volcanic terrain; it is generally accessible to those with moderate fitness and mobility, but not suited to those with severe mobility limitations.
This package includes breakfasts and tourist-class hotel accommodation across the three islands, plus specified transfers and some boat transportation—confirm meal details before booking.
Shore and guided snorkels are beginner-friendly and often conducted in shallow, protected sites, but basic swimming ability and comfort in the water are recommended.
The islands rose from repeated volcanic eruptions and later hosted whalers and scientific expeditions; Darwin's visit helped inspire ideas about natural selection.
Strict park rules limit visitor impacts and support breeding programs; stick to paths, avoid touching wildlife, and use reef-safe products to reduce ecological harm.
