Genovesa and Central Islands High-End Boat Journey
Enjoy a cruise on a stable and magnificent motor boat around the must-see islands like Genovesa and Bartolome, Santiago and many more. This active, adventurous and luxury-class itinerary will take you to incredible locations for sightseeing. You can also snorkel in the Marine Reserve.

Day by day

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

AM: Baltra

Flight from Quito, Guayaquil or Quito to Baltra (2 1/2 hours). Our natural guides will pick up passengers at the Galapagos airport and take them to the bus stop for a 10-minute drive. Then, they'll board the Santa Cruz II.

PM: Bachas Beach

The beautiful location is on the north shore of Santa Cruz Island. There, a white sandy beach and a pair of salty lagoons are located just steps from the ocean. The lagoons are the breeding grounds for wading bird species like stilts, flamingos and more. This beach is also a great place to go swimming or snorkeling.

Day 2 : Santiago Island: Buccaneer Cove & Egas Port

AM: Bucaneer Cove

You will explore Santiago Island today. First, you'll get to see the coast along the dramatic cliffs at Buccaneer Cove. The cove has a lot of marine birds and sea-lions. Visit the amazing geological formations, such as "Elephant Rock", "The Bishop" or "The Bishop". The guests can go on a glass bottom boat or dinghy ride, or snorkel.

PM Egas Port

You can swim and snorkel along the shoreline of the rocks after disembarking the boat. Usually, marine turtles will be with you. A wonderful walk will allow you to observe both marine and land birds skittering about the landscape of tuff stone layers and lava flow. Marine iguanas are often seen grazing on the nearby algae at low tide. Also, you can see a colony fur-sealions. The group can continue to swim and/or snorkel after the visit.
