Itinerary
- Day 1
San Cristobal
You'll arrive at San Cristobal Island airport in the morning where a Grand Majestic staff member meets you for the transfer to the yacht. After settling into your cabin, you'll have lunch on board and then attend a welcome briefing to get oriented. Later in the afternoon, you'll head up to El Junco Lagoon in the highlands. This extinct volcano crater is fed entirely by rainwater, so it's a unique spot to check out and get a sense of the island's volcanic landscape.

The afternoon takes you to Cormorant Point to see flamingos, then you'll explore Green Beach and Flour Sand Beach, which both have their own character.

Española Island
Early on you're hiking up to Suarez Point where blue-footed boobies, albatrosses, and Nazca boobies hang out. This spot is the breeding ground for nearly all waved albatrosses in the world, so you'll have chances for some good viewing and photos. There's a famous blowhole here where seawater shoots up into the air, and the photography opportunities are solid throughout. Later, you'll make your way to Gardner Bay where you can walk along the white-sand beach around sea lions or get in the water to swim with sea lion pups if conditions allow.

Santa Cruz to Baltra
This morning you'll visit Twin Craters, which sit on either side of the road between Puerto Ayora and Baltra. These formations came from underground fissures and chambers collapsing, and they give you a real sense of the island's geological activity. After you've finished here, that's it for exploration. You'll head to Baltra Airport for your flight back to the mainland, bringing your Galapagos journey to a close.
