Galápagos Wildlife & Island Discovery

San Cristóbal Island → Baltra Island 5 days Up to 16

About this trip

Five days across two of the Galápagos' main islands, San Cristóbal and Santa Cruz, with a visit to one of the uninhabited islands where the wildlife has never learned to be wary of people.

This is a close-up wildlife trip rather than a beach holiday — expect to be walking among giant tortoises, stepping around sea lions, and watching blue-footed boobies do their thing without much distance between you and them.

The operator is certified by Travelife, TourCert and the UN Global Compact, so the trip is run with an eye on conservation and local communities rather than just ticking off sightings.

What you'll do

  • Walk among giant tortoises in their natural habitat
  • Share the shoreline with sea lions and marine iguanas
  • Spot blue-footed boobies and frigatebirds
  • Visit one of the uninhabited Galápagos islands
  • Explore San Cristóbal and Santa Cruz
Good to know
  • Five days covers a focused slice of the islands, not the full archipelago
  • Moderate pace with guided wildlife excursions rather than long treks
  • Suits families and groups travelling together over Christmas and New Year
