Galapagos 6 Day Sea Star Cruise C
This 6-day Sea Star cruise explores the central, western and southern Galápagos Islands, combining wildlife encounters, dramatic volcanic landscapes, and historical sites. Starting on Santa Cruz, you’ll meet the famous giant tortoises before venturing to Isabela, the largest island, to hike the Sierra Negra Volcano and discover mangroves, wetlands, and penguin colonies. Experience the raw volcanic wilderness of Fernandina and Tagus Cove, the buccaneer history of Santiago, and end your journey among playful sea lions and seabirds on San Cristobal.
