Galapagos 5 Day Sea Star Cruise B
Discover the natural and volcanic wonders of the Galápagos on this 5-day Sea Star cruise through Santa Cruz, Santiago, Genovesa, Bartholomew and San Cristobal Islands. Encounter iconic wildlife including land and marine iguanas, sea lions, penguins, boobies and reef sharks. From the lush highlands of Santa Cruz to the surreal lava landscapes of Santiago, this voyage offers a perfect balance of adventure, wildlife encounters, and breathtaking views.
Highlights
• Wildlife encounters – see flamingos, iguanas, boobies, sea lions, penguins and rays.
• Varied landscapes – from mangrove-fringed lagoons to lava tunnels and volcanic craters.
• Snorkelling & exploration – swim with penguins, turtles and reef fish in pristine waters.
Arrive at Baltra Airport and transfer to the Sea Star yacht. After lunch and a welcome briefing, visit Dragon Hill, one of Santa Cruz’s newest visitor sites. Walk along the beach and lagoon lookout to observe flamingos, pintail ducks and land iguanas among palo santo trees and cacti forests.
Explore Black Turtle Cove, a mangrove-fringed inlet teeming with young marine life such as rays, reef sharks and sea turtles, accessible only by dinghy.
In the afternoon, visit Chinese Hat Islet on Santiago Island, known for its lava formations and rich marine life. Snorkel with penguins, rays and sea lions in the clear waters.
At El Barranco (Prince Philip’s Steps), climb the cliff trail for magnificent views and encounters with red-footed boobies, short-eared owls and storm-petrels.
Continue to Darwin Bay, a coral-sand beach surrounded by mangroves. Walk the coastal trail to spot Nazca and red-footed boobies, swallow-tailed gulls and playful sea lions.
At Pinnacle Rock on Bartholomew Island, climb to the summit for one of the most spectacular panoramic views in the Galápagos. Snorkel in crystal waters alongside penguins and colourful reef fish.
Later, visit Sullivan Bay on Santiago Island to walk across the striking lava field shaped by past eruptions, dotted with small volcanic cones.
Explore the lush Highlands of Santa Cruz, a contrast to the dry coastal zones. Walk among Scalesia forests, visit lava tunnels and see giant tortoises in their natural habitat.
After lunch, transfer to Baltra Airport for your flight back to the mainland.
