Day 1
Port of Call Baltra Island
Departure 2:00p.m.
Overview
Baltra, also referred to as South Seymour Island, is one of the smaller islands of the Galapagos, with an area of roughly 8 square miles. The island lies in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, about 600 miles west of Ecuador. The significance of Baltra rests in the fact that it is the main entry point into the Galapagos Islands. The main airport of the archipelago is located on Baltra (a second smaller one is in San Cristobal). Before Volcanic faulting occurred, Baltra was part of Santa Cruz, making it the newest of the islands. Due to its small size, there are no visitor accommodations in Baltra. Though the island is dry and the vegetation desolate, a large number of birds-frigatebirds and boobies- can be seen at the harbor. Land iguanas, marine iguanas, and marine turtles can also be observed. After you arrive at Baltra, take the time to visit Bachas Beach, where you will be introduced to the wonders of the Galapagos. Also, don’t miss the chance to take a panga ride through Black Turtle Cove and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding mangroves.

Arrival 3:00p.m.
Departure 6:00p.m.
Overview
Located on Floreana Island, Post Office Bay, where 18th-century whalers used a barrel as an unofficial mail drop, can be visited today. The idea behind the barrel was that British whalers or passers-by to the island would pick up the letters and hand-deliver them to England. Letters and postcards without stamps can still be dropped in the barrel in this present day; however, don’t expect a speedy delivery.
Day 4
Port of Call Punta Moreno
Arrival 8:00a.m.
Departure 11:30a.m.
Overview
Located on the west side of Isabela Island, Punta Moreno means "dark point," taking its name from the very dark, new rocks formed by the lava flow from a fairly recent volcano eruption.

There are small oases with green lakes, where you can sometimes see flamingos, flightless cormorants, penguins, marine iguanas,s and pelicans.
Day 4
Port of Call Urvina Bay
Arrival 3:00p.m.
Departure 6:00p.m.
Overview
Noteworthy because it is an area that was elevated from sea level in the 1950s during the eruption of the Alcedo volcano. A part of the shoreline was raised more than 4 meters, and now the visitor can walk on what was once the sea floor, and see the dried corals and remains of a variety of mollusks and other sea organisms that were stranded by sudden uplift. Urvina Bay is located on the western coast of Isabela at the foot of Alcedo Volcano. On the trail going inland, it is possible to see colorful land iguanas and even Galapagos Tortoises. Along the coast, there are huge marine iguanas, pelicans flightless cormorants, and at times even penguins.

Day 5
Port of Call Punta Vicente Roca
Arrival 3:00p.m.
Departure 6:00p.m.
Overview
In the north of Isabela, there is a small promontory known as Punta Vicente Roca, on the southwestern edge of Volcano Ecuador. The point presides over a pair of jewel-like coves. The cave lies on either side of the eroded remains of a volcanic ash cone, which makes up the point. The sheltered bay is a popular anchorage for boats and visitors may have a look around in dinghies. The surrounding cliffs are the interior walls of a fallen volcano and there is a partly flooded cave.T he area is also very good for scuba diving. Its abundant ocean life is the product of cool, nutrient-rich waters upwelling off the volcano's steep submarine slopes. On the other side of the point is a secluded cove, accessible from the sea only through water-filled subterranean passages. Sea lions travel through these passageways and gather on the protected beaches of the hidden waters. Large numbers of blue-footed and masked boobies inhabit the point and the sheer cliffs, and flightless cormorants can be seen along the shoreline.
Day 6
Port of Call South Plaza Island
Arrival 8:00a.m.
Departure 11:30a.m.
Overview
This enchanted Subtropical island is comprised of two small islets that are uplifted from the coast of Santa Cruz Island. Despite its slightly smaller size, the unique vegetation and location of Plazas island creates a setting in which the fauna and flora of the Galapagos can truly be experienced to its fullest. Some of the most intriguing species of the archipelago can be found on these amazing islets. One of the most common creatures to be seen on Plazas is the land iguana. This magnificent creature can most often be found lying in the cool shade of a cactus. The rugged cliffs of Plazas Island create a prime habitat for swallow-tailed gulls, along with many other species of tropical birds. The coast of this island is protected by a distinct rocky seashore. This protection has allowed a colony of lively sea lions to establish their home here on Plazas. The island’s main attractions are its sea lions, swallow-tailed gulls, yellow-tailed mullets, Audubon’s shearwaters, red-billed tropic birds, frigate birds, land iguanas, and brown pelicans.
Day 6
Port of Call Daphne Islands
Arrival 1:00p.m.
Departure 2:00p.m.
Overview
One of the central islands, Daphne lies north of Santa Cruz and west of Baltra. There are two islands Daphne Major and Daphne Minor. Daphne Major is the younger of the two and the one that is visited. Though its location is easily in reach for most cruises, it is a select few that can visit this special place. The National Park Service restricts visitors allowed to visit Daphne. Visits are only allowed under a special written permit by the National Park. Many boats cruise by close enough to view the many birds and sea lions that live on Daphne. It is also a popular dive site for local dive operators from Santa Cruz.
Day 6
Port of Call Cerro Dragon
Arrival 3:00p.m.
Departure 6:00p.m.
Overview
The north shore of Santa Cruz hosts Cerro Dragon (Dragon Hill). Known for its flamingo lagoon that gives a colorful touch to the scene. The trail leads to a small hill where land iguanas live and nest. This area is accessible only by sea because it is covered in extensive mangroves.

Port of Call Puerto Ayora
Arrival 8:00a.m.
Departure 6:00p.m.
Overview
The largest settlement area, offering the most services in the Galapagos, Puerto Ayora is a port town situated along Academy Bay on Isla Santa Cruz.

Also home to the National Park Services and the Charles Darwin Research Station, it is the hub of tourism in the islands.Puerto Ayora is far from the bustling cities on the mainland. The bay is full of sailboats, sea birds fill the air, and marine iguanas line the shore. Though a thriving center of commerce people enjoy a laid-back island attitude. Most travelers to the Galapagos will include a visit to Puerto Ayora during their trip. Most cruises include a visit to the Darwin Station and arrange free time to explore the town and shop for souvenirs. This may be the only opportunity for a souvenir shop in the islands. Stores carry everything from t-shirts to jewelry, postcards, books, beachware, and ceramic items. The grocery store offers the opportunity to stock up on any forgotten items, snacks, beverages, or other items you might desire on board. If you need additional money, the Banco del Pacifico offers cash advances on Master Card. They also offer a Cirrus ATM, though it does not always work.Puerto Ayora offers options for visitors who prefer to sleep ashore or extend their stay in the islands.
