4-Day Wildlife Tour in Santa Cruz Island

Enjoy a four-day, land-based Galápagos program designed for travelers who want a shorter version of the cruise-style experience, with first-class comfort on land. Sail on yacht day tours to North Seymour and South Plaza, plus sites like Las Bachas and Punta Carrión, led by certified naturalist guides. Meet giant tortoises in the Santa Cruz highlands and visit the Charles Darwin Research Station, then return each evening to a first-class hotel in Puerto Ayora. Over several days, you’ll walk through wildlife-rich trails, watch blue-footed boobies and frigatebirds in their natural habitat, and snorkel in turquoise waters with sea lions, reef fish, and rays. Every detail is taken care of, from airport transfers, daily excursions, all meals, snorkeling gear and wetsuit. It is a compact Galápagos experience for travelers who want the structure of a package, the comfort of staying on land, and the freedom of not sleeping at sea.
