Motor Catamarans Archipel I & II cruise around the great outdoors of the breathtaking Galapagos Archipelago, where you will keep discovering one surprise after another! Every day we anchor at two selected visitor’s sites and organise at least two excursions.
You will observe nature from different perspectives with our balanced excursion programme, or even during your spare time.
Day 1
(Arrival at San Cristóbal Airport, SYC) A.M. Monday
Arrival at San Cristóbal Airport and transfer in. You will have to pay your Galapagos National Park entrance fee and your luggage will be inspected.
(Lobos Islet, San Cristóbal) P.M. Monday
The Asylum of Peace hike goes ast a mesmerising cave and visits a fascinating freshwater spring. La Loberia beach is an ideal spot to enjoy the ocean, as well as the playful sea lions that live there.
Day 2
(South Plaza) A.M. Tuesday
Popular South Plaza is not to be missed! This bizarre ‘Jurassic islet’ is the best place to see the emblematic ‘Galapagos dragons’, which crawl across it.
(Santa Fe) P.M. Tuesday
Santa Fé is another crown jewel of the Galapagos, where the pale Barrington land iguana and practically every other creature are unique to the archipelago or this island alone.
Day 3
(Chinese Hat) A.M. Wednesday
Though recently born out of fire the volcanic islet Chinese Hat does not appear to be any more inhospitable than Bartolomé and lunatic Sullivan Bay. This tiny, rusty-coloured islet just begins to sprout. You arrive just in time to witness the next chapter about colonisation by pioneers!
(Dragon Hill, Santa Cruz) P.M. Wednesday
Thanks to the successful breeding programme, Dragon Hill is still populated by the largest wild population of Galapagos land iguanas on Santa Cruz.
Day 4
(Charles Darwin Research Station) A.M. Thursday
The most memorable part from the Charles Darwin Research Station will probably be the successful breeding centre and its celebrity ‘Lonesome George’.
(Highlands, Santa Cruz) P.M. Thursday
Santa Cruz offers excellent opportunities for viewing wild Galapagos giant tortoises, roaming through pastures in the agricultural zone and in the transition zone of adjacent El Chato Tortoise Reserve.
Day 5
(Tintoreras Islet) A.M. Friday
This group of jagged rocky islets just off the coast of Puerto Villamil forms one of the most stereotypical sites of the Galapagos.
(Arnoldo Tupiza Breeding Center) P.M. Friday
In the Arnaldo Tupiza Tortoise Breeding Centre you can see hundreds of giant Galapagos tortoises of all sizes (the vulnerable hatchlings are not gigantic at all, even smaller than the size of your hand)!
Day 6
(Moreno Point, Isabela) A.M. Saturday
Fresh, promising greens of pioneer vegetation contrast strongly with the dead, pitch-black lava flow that once reached the ocean at Moreno Point.
(Elizabeth Bay, Isabela) P.M. Saturday
At the remote Elizabeth Bay you will enjoy the best dinghy-ride of the Galapagos, which combines a visit to the Marielas Islets in the mouth of the bay, with the highest mangles in its innermost heart.
Day 7
(Tagus Cove, Isabela) A.M. Sunday
Tagus Cove is a historical anchorage at the northern entrance of Bolivar Channel (between Isabela and Fernandina).
(Espinoza Point, Fernandina) P.M. Sunday
Westernmost Fernandina harbours one of the world’s most virgin, untouched ecosystems, and is another crown jewel of the Galapagos.
Day 8
(Bachas Beach, Santa Cruz) A.M. Monday
Strolling along its coastline, the blinding white Bachas Beach appears full of natural life. It is one of most important breeding sites for Pacific green turtles.
(Transfer out to Baltra Airport) P.M. Monday
Assisted by the naturalist guide and some crew members, the dinghy will bring you and your luggage to Baltra, where we will take the airport shuttle. Your guide will accompany you to the check-in counters in the departure hall.
