Galapagos: Extended Central Adventure | Galaxy Orion Yacht

After landing in Baltra, your expedition kicks off with a serene visit to Bachas Beach on Santa Cruz Island. This quiet stretch of coastline, dotted with remnants of WWII barges, now serves as a nesting site for sea turtles and a haven for aquatic birds like flamingos and herons. As you walk along the white sands and saltwater lagoons, you'll start sensing the uniqueness of the Galapagos environment, where every landscape teems with life and history. It's a calm but spectacular beginning to the adventures ahead.

Climb to the summit of Bartolome Island and be rewarded with a panoramic view over Pinnacle Rock, the volcanic cones, and Sullivan Bay’s shining waters. The rugged terrain contrasts with the colorful underwater world where penguins, reef sharks, and turtles swim. Afterward, set foot on Sullivan Bay’s mesmerizing lava fields. Here, smooth ropes of black rock tell the story of volcanic eruptions from centuries past. Later, dive into the surrounding waters for snorkeling among vibrant fish, rays, and curious penguins darting past the reefs.
