ITINERARY
Day
1:Guayaquil, Ecuador
Arrive
in Ecuador, either in Quito, Ecuador’s capital city in the
Andes, or in the coastal city of Guayaquil, for an included transfer to
your convenient hotel for an overnight stay. Both cities are
well-served by international carriers, and Galápagos flights
start and end in Quito with a stop in Guayaquil. Guests in Guayaquil
stay at the locally owed Hotel Oro Verde and have the choice of several
hotels in Quito, including a convenient airport hotel.
Note
that Quito sits at a 9,350ft elevation. It is an alternative option to
Guayaquil, at no additional cost, and recommended if you opt for a
pre-voyage extension to Mashpi Reserve in the tropical Andes outside
Quito, or take just one extra day on the See Quito Pre-Voyage
Extension. You can also choose to reserve additional hotel nights and
tours in Quito or Guayaquil.
Day
2:Quito or Guayaquil / Galápagos Islands
In
the morning, if you’re joining the recommended flight to the
Galapagos, transfers to the airport and luggage assistance will be
provided. Upon arrival, embark the 48-guest National Geographic Gemini
or 96-guest National Geographic Endeavour II.
Meals
Included: Breakfast,
Lunch, Dinner
Days
3-8:Galápagos Islands
Below
is a selection of islands you may visit during your expedition.
Itineraries are subject to Galápagos National Park
regulations.
North
Seymour: Follow coastal trails past playful Galápagos sea
lions on this wildlife-rich central island. Continue inland through a
silvery forest of endemic palo santo trees, where frigatebirds nest,
blue-footed boobies dance and where you may also encounter
prehistoric-looking land iguanas feeding on cactus.
Isabela:
Cross the Equator at Volcán Ecuador, northernmost of
Isabela’s six great shield volcanoes. Keep an eye out for
whales and dolphins, sea turtles and the elusive ocean sunfish. Over
two days, land in the footsteps of Darwin and Melville, and look for
wildlife along the wildly eroded volcanic shore.
Fernandina:
One of the most active oceanic volcanoes in the world, Fernandina is
the youngest and most pristine island in
Galápagos—and home to the strange flightless
cormorant, Galápagos penguins and the largest marine
iguanas. Hikes ashore lead across impressive recent lava flows.
Española:
See swallow-tailed gulls, Española mockingbirds, Nazca
boobies and, seasonally, the world’s only population of waved
albatross at this bird paradise, also home to vividly colored marine
iguanas. Watch sea lions on the white sand beach and snorkel offshore
at Gardner Bay.
Floreana:
Follow a trail past a pink-tinted lagoon sometimes frequented by
flamingos. Snorkel among sea lions and abundant fish or cruise along
Champion Islet by Zodiac. Visit the historic mail barrel at Post Office
Bay.
Santa
Cruz: Visit Puerto Ayora, the largest town and headquarters of both the
Galápagos National Park and Charles Darwin Research Station.
See the monument to Lonesome George and tour the giant tortoise
breeding corrals. Witness giant tortoises roaming in the wild in the
lush, green highlands.
Bartolomé:
Climb the steps to the summit of this 300-foot volcanic wonderland for
stunning views. Explore, swim and snorkel from the beach. Catch a
glimpse of Galápagos penguins, one of the world’s
rarest.
Santiago:
Explore tide pools and look for fur seals sheltered in quiet grottos of
black basalt. Swim, snorkel, kayak and paddleboard along
Santiago’s spectacular coast, and explore an enchanting
coastal forest where Charles Darwin once walked.
Genovesa:
Sail across the Equator to the remote northern realm of the
Galápagos into this flooded caldera, home to over one
million seabirds. Visit Prince Philip’s Steps at the top of
the island. Highlights along the trail are many, from Nazca, red- and
blue-footed boobies and frigates, to gulls, owls, fur seals, hammerhead
sharks, turtles and manta rays.
San
Cristobal: Search for red-footed boobies and the endemic mockingbird
and lava lizard—found only on this easternmost island. Walk
along the powdery white sand at a gorgeous beach fronted by iconic
Kicker Rock. Explore Baquerizo Moreno, where sea lions thrive in the
middle of town.
Meals
Included: Breakfast,
Lunch, Dinner
Day
9:Galápagos Islands / Disembark Ship / Guayaquil or Quito

Quito, including a convenient airport hotel. The afternoon and evening
are at your leisure. You may be able to take advantage of overnight
flights home. Ask your expedition specialist about Peru, Quito and
other post-voyage options. Upon arrival in Guayaquil, many guests
