Dia a Dia

Dia 1: Arrival in Baltra and the Santa Cruz Highlands

The voyage begins with arrival at Baltra Airport on Santa Cruz Island, where guests start their eight-day Galapagos experience aboard Galaxy Stella. In the afternoon, the scheduled program moves to the Santa Cruz Highlands. The source associates this opening day with a giant tortoise reserve, introducing travelers to the wildlife of the archipelago before the cruise continues westward. After completing the day's visit, guests can settle into their sea-view cabins and become familiar with the onboard amenities of the 12-guest yacht. Lunch and dinner are included, marking the beginning of the full-board experience that accompanies most days of the itinerary.

Dia 2: Tintoreras and Isabela's Wetlands

The second day focuses on Isabela Island. The morning schedule takes guests to Tintoreras, followed in the afternoon by Isabela's Wetlands and Interpretation Center. These are the explicit AM and PM destinations listed in the detailed itinerary. The day heading separately mentions a Sierra Negra Volcano hike, but this activity does not appear in the detailed schedule beneath it. To remain faithful to the supplied information, the itinerary here follows the listed visits to Tintoreras and Isabela's Wetlands and Interpretation Center without adding other activities. Guests return to Galaxy Stella after the day's exploration, with breakfast, lunch, and dinner included.
