Fernandina Route
An 8-day Galápagos cruise aboard Cachalote Explorer, calling at Baltra, Santa Cruz, Santiago, Rábida, Isabela, Fernandina. Fernandina, the youngest island, will blow your mind with its rugged lava landscapes. The youngest island in the archipelago, it is still being formed by volcanic eruptions and makes for a wonderful, otherworldly contrast to the other islands. Isabela, the biggest of all islands in the Galápagos, offers you fantastic hikes, views and arguably some of the best snorkeling spots in the Archipelago. On North Seymour, an incredible hike and snorkeling session awaits you.
