Day Trip Details

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the San Cristóbal Pier. Once we're all gathered, we'll take a boat to Española Island. Let's set sail!

During a boat ride lasting between 1.5 and 2 hours, we’ll enjoy a pleasant journey across the waters of the Galápagos until we reach Punta Cevallos, home to the largest albatross colony on Española Island.

After disembarking here, we’ll take a 40-minute walk where we’ll see some of the Galápagos’ most iconic species. Albatrosses, blue-footed boobies, Nazca boobies, iguanas… We’ll discover the island’s most amazing wildlife! Keep in mind that sightings are most likely between May and December.

At the end of the walking tour, we'll stop at Torruga Islet and grab our snorkelling gear to explore the waters of the bay. During this experience, about 40 minutes, we'll swim alongside sea lions, Galapagos sharks and many colourful fish. It will be an incredible moment!

Before returning, we'll enjoy a delicious lunch. We'll also leave you time to relax and rest on the beach. After enjoying the charms of Española Island, we'll return to the meeting point on San Cristóbal Island, where this 10-hour tour will come to an end.
