Highlights

  • Check the mail at Post Office Bay and gaze over Baroness Lookout
  • Snorkel with sea turtles, cormorants and fish species at Moreno Point
  • See the rare waved albatross at Suarez Point
  • Meet the fearless Galápagos mockingbirds at Gardner Bay

Our classic 4 nights south eastern route cruises along the oldest islands, where evolution had time enough to create unique (sub)species, which became emblematic figureheads that differ from island to island. Nature in this arid corner thrives thanks to the nutrient rich Humboldt Current. Walk a short distance past breeding albatrosses, boobies and frigatebirds while visiting the lively colonies of famous Española and the exclusive Pitt Point with its (for Galapagos rare) red-footed boobies. Lobos Islet gives the unforgettable opportunity to snorkel with playful sea lions.
