Our Eastern Galapagos Yacht Itinerary starts with a tour of South Plaza Island, lined by turquoise waters and inhabited by many iguanas, bird species, and numerous sea lion colonies. The next day will see us visiting the islands of Santa Fe and San Cristobal; the former provides fascinating moments with unique landscapes and species, while the latter showcases giant tortoises and laidback island life.
After that, we’ll explore more remote regions of San Cristobal Island, which offer fun aquatic activities, stunning vistas, and tons of wildlife. Rounding out this Galapagos itinerary is spectacular Española Island, home to the giant bird in the archipelago and epic coastlines!
