This morning, explore the coastal wonders of Santa Cruz on a guided Bay Tour.
Snorkel at La Lobería where playful sea lions and sea turtles glide through the water. Continue visiting dramatic volcanic formations, including Las Grietas, Playa de los Perros, and the Tintoreras channel.

Today you venture by yacht to North Seymour Island, one of the Galapagos’ most important bird sanctuaries.

In the afternoon, enjoy snorkeling at Las Bachas Beach, where marine iguanas, reef fish, sea turtles, and occasionally flamingos can be seen.
Return to Santa Cruz in the afternoon.
