8 day western Galapagos islands cruise | Yolita Yacht II Itinerary A
The Western islands of Galapagos have been the focus of extensive exploration. It is an amazing area. This is where you will find rare species such as the cormorant and penguin that can survive in the tropics.

Day by day

Day 1 : Baltra Airport & Santa Cruz Island: Bachas Beach

Take an early flight to the Galapagos Islands. Head to Bachas Beach to see Sally Light foot crabs, flamingos and sea lions.

Santa Cruz Island: Bachas Beach

Head to Bachas Beach where the sand is made of decomposed coral, making it soft and white, and a favourite site for nesting sea turtles. Spot abundant Sally Lightfoot crabs on the lava rocks along the water's edge -these crabs will eat anything they can get their claws on! Trek to see a wide range of wildlife, including flamingos, hermit crabs, black necked stilts, and sea lions.

Day 2 : Genovesa Island

Darwin Bay

You will find bustling seabirds as you walk along the white coral sands at Darwin Bay. Follow the trail to see nesting frigatebirds and gulls. You will want to capture some photos of your feathered friends so bring your camera.

This sunken caldera is a great spot for snorkelling. You will see large schools of tropical fish near the vertical walls. If you are lucky, you may even spot a manta Ray or a hammerhead.

El Barranco

For amazing wildlife viewing, visit "El Barranco", aka Prince Phillip's Steps, located at the southern tip. To see a seabird colony full of life, including breeding grounds for red-footed and masked bobies, hike up the steps.
