Arrive at San Cristobal Island Airport, where your naturalist guide will welcome you and accompany you to the Puerto Baquerizo Moreno pier to board the yacht. In the afternoon, visit the San Cristobal Interpretation Center and explore exhibits focused on the volcanic and natural history of the archipelago, its ecosystems, and conservation efforts. Later, hike to Tijeretas Hill for panoramic views across the coastline toward Kicker Rock and the ship anchorage. Frigatebirds can be observed soaring and nesting around the area, adding an important wildlife component to the excursion. Beneath the hill, a quiet cove offers an opportunity to swim alongside sea lions and colorful fish, completing your first day with a combination of natural history, scenic views, hiking, and marine exploration.
