“David is incredibly responsive and organized our logistics flawlessly. Terrazas de Mindo lodge is beautiful and very birdy, with wonderful cuisine, and staff attentive and genuinely kind. Our Galapagos cruise was magical.”
DMKap · North Carolina · Tripadvisor“After we had booked the tour, the cruise company decided to cancel all cruises… David promptly contacted me and offered to find alternate ships. Within 15 minutes, he came up with 3 other cruises that matched our needs and dates.”

Start with your available travel days, then compare the islands visited, arrival and departure airports, and available sailing dates. Tell us which places interest you and we’ll help narrow the options.
Walks, terrain and landings vary between visitor sites. Some involve uneven ground or stepping into shallow water. Tell us about any mobility concerns so we can review the specific route and available arrangements with the operator.

We recommend booking them with us, together with your cruise. Many yachts ask their guests to fly on the flights they reserve, because the crew meets the group at the Galápagos airport and the timing has to match the itinerary. You get assistance at the airport in Quito or Guayaquil on the day you fly, and we book your Galápagos flights at the net fare the cruise operator gives us. We also recommend arriving in Ecuador two days before your Galápagos flight, in case your international flight is delayed or canceled.

The Fausto Llerena Breeding Center, part of the Charles Darwin Research Station complex in Puerto Ayora, is where the Galápagos National Park breeds and raises giant tortoises to return them to the islands where they belong. It is named after Fausto Llerena, the park ranger who cared for Lonesome George for some forty years.

Eden Islet is a small, eroded tuff cone off the northwest coast of Santa Cruz, close to the Guy Fawkes islets. Its steep walls of layered volcanic ash, carved by the sea, make it one of the most photogenic stops around the island.

Dragon Hill, on the northwest coast of Santa Cruz, takes its name from the land iguanas that live on its slopes, the dragons of the Galápagos. It is also a conservation success: in 1976 feral dogs almost wiped out the iguanas of this coast, and the last survivors were taken to the Charles Darwin Research Station to breed.

Las Tintoreras is a group of small lava islets just off Puerto Villamil, on the south coast of Isabela, a few minutes by panga from the town's dock. Its name comes from the white-tipped reef sharks, tintoreras in Spanish, that rest in the calm water of a narrow lava channel on the largest islet.

Sierra Negra, on southern Isabela, is one of the most active volcanoes in the Galápagos and has one of the largest calderas in the world, an oval crater about ten kilometers (six miles) across. It last erupted in 2018, and steam still rises from cracks along its rim.

The Wetlands of Isabela, Los Humedales in Spanish, are a chain of lagoons, mangrove swamps and small beaches that stretches west from Puerto Villamil along the south coast of the island. All four species of Galápagos mangrove grow here, red, black, white and button, and the area is one of the best places in the islands to see wetland birds.

The Arnaldo Tupiza Breeding Center, on the edge of Puerto Villamil, is where the Galápagos National Park breeds the giant tortoises of southern Isabela to return them to the wild. It opened in 1995, after a large fire on the south of the island threatened their habitat, and three years later it took in tortoises rescued from the slopes of Cerro Azul during an eruption.

Moreno Point, on the western shore of Isabela between the volcanoes of Sierra Negra and Cerro Azul, is a landscape of black lava dotted with surprising green oases. It is part of the western routes and one of the less visited sites of the Galápagos.

Tagus Cove, on the west coast of Isabela, is a deep, sheltered bay that has served as an anchorage since the days of pirates and whalers. On its cliffs, sailors painted and carved the names of their ships, a tradition that began in the 1830s and is now protected as part of the islands' history; adding new names is forbidden.

Espinosa Point, on the northeast tip of Fernandina, faces Isabela across the Bolívar Channel and is the main visitor site of the youngest island of the Galápagos. The landscape is almost entirely black lava, and the wildlife is found in a density few places can match.

Vicente Roca Point, on the northwest coast of Isabela at the foot of Ecuador Volcano, is one of the most spectacular marine sites in the Galápagos. There is no landing: the visit combines a panga ride along towering cliffs of tuff, ash and lava, carved by the sea into caves and arches, with snorkeling in a sheltered cove.

Puerto Egas, on James Bay on the west coast of Santiago, is one of the most varied visits in the central islands. The panga lands on a beach of black volcanic sand, in a wet landing, below the old salt mine crater.

Rábida, a small island south of Santiago, is famous for its red beach, colored by the iron in the volcanic rock, one of the most photographed landscapes in the Galápagos. The visit begins with a wet landing on the maroon sand, usually shared with a colony of Galápagos sea lions.

Bachas Beach, on the north shore of Santa Cruz, is a wide beach of soft white sand and one of the most important nesting sites in the Galápagos for the Pacific green sea turtle. Its name comes from the Second World War: when the United States left its base on nearby Baltra, two barges were abandoned here, and the local pronunciation of 'barges' became Bachas.
