GALAPAGOS I – NOV.

Departure from Spain to Ecuador (GYE or UIO). Arrival in the afternoon and overnight in a guesthouse near the airport (schedules pending confirmation).

On the second day of the expedition, the group will fly to Baltra, arriving in the morning at the Ecological Airport, where they will undergo controls to prevent the introduction of foreign species into the islands. Transit Control Cards (TCC) will be stamped and the entrance fee to the Galapagos National Park will be paid. The guide will meet the group and take them by bus to the ship ‘Humboldt Explorer’, where brief presentations will be made and cabins will be assigned.

The following days will include multiple dives in different locations, highlighting the exploration of North Baltra, North Seymour, Wolf Island, Darwin Island and Cousin’s Rock. The dives will offer impressive sightings, from rays and schools of fish to hammerhead sharks, whale sharks, eagle rays, sea lions and more. In addition to underwater activities, land visits will be planned to explore the fauna and flora of the islands. The eighth day will conclude with dives at Cousin’s Rock and a trip to the Santa Cruz Highlands to observe giant tortoises in their natural habitat, followed by free time in Puerto Ayora and the Darwin Center. The day will end with dinner and the return to the Humboldt Explorer.

After breakfast (at 9:00 am), we will say goodbye to the crew of the ‘Humboldt Explorer’ ship and transfer by bus to Baltra airport to fly back to Spain.

Arrival in Spain. End of services provided.
