Galapagos Classic
The shortest way to take in the essentials of Santa Cruz and Isabela without changing hotels. Based in Puerto Ayora, you explore the highlands —Twin Craters and Primicias Ranch—, take a day trip to Isabela for Las Tintoreras, flamingos and the breeding center, and finish with Tortuga Bay and the Charles Darwin Research Station. Bilingual Level III naturalist guide and transfers included.
Itinerary
Your Galápagos adventure begins with your arrival at Baltra Airport, where our team will welcome you and transfer you to Santa Cruz. Along the way, you will visit the Twin Craters, two impressive collapse craters surrounded by Scalesia vegetation where you can spot Darwin's finches and short-eared owls, before continuing to Primicias Ranch, an authentic working farm in the island's highlands where majestic giant tortoises roam freely in their natural habitat, offering you an intimate and unforgettable experience before settling into your hotel.
