Galápagos — South & East Islands aboard the Yolita

Start & end in Quito 7 days Up to 16

About this trip

This is a small-boat cruise through the Galápagos south and east islands aboard the Yolita, spending four nights at sea between stops. The pace is easy and guided throughout, with snorkelling, wildlife walks, and beach time built into each day.

The southern and eastern islands are known for some of the richest marine life in the archipelago, and this route takes you to well-regarded snorkel sites as well as beaches, cliffs, and a working post office with a two-century history.

What you'll do

  • Snorkel at Islote Champion and Gardner Bay
  • Spend time on white-sand beaches among iguanas and sea lions
  • Look for three different booby species at Punta Pitt
  • Leave a postcard at the historic Post Office Bay barrel
Good to know
  • Easy-paced trip suited to those who want wildlife and snorkelling without a physically demanding itinerary
  • You're based aboard the Yolita and move between islands by boat, so expect time at sea as well as on land
