The experience begins in Puerto Ayora with a land transfer to the Itabaca Channel, followed by navigation to Bartolomé Island.

On Bartolomé, guests take a guided walk along the wooden trail known as “The Stairway,” with stops at natural viewpoints offering stunning views of the iconic Pinnacle Rock, golden sand beaches, and unique volcanic formations. During the hike, the naturalist guide provides interpretation on the area’s geology and biodiversity.

The tour then continues to Sullivan Bay, located on the southeastern side of Santiago Island, where snorkeling and recreational swimming take place in crystal-clear waters. There is a high probability of spotting Galápagos penguins, sea turtles, reef sharks, rays, and tropical fish.

Lunch is served on board, and after completing the activities, guests return to Puerto Ayora.
