Genovesa to Fernandina
A 15-day Galápagos cruise aboard Cachalote Explorer, calling at Baltra, Santa Cruz, South Plaza, Santa Fe, San Cristóbal, Española. This two-week Galapagos voyage connects the archipelago’s great wildlife contrasts in one unhurried circuit. Western Isabela and Fernandina bring young lava shores where marine iguanas gather in extraordinary numbers, while Galapagos penguins and flightless cormorants hunt along the cool, nutrient-rich coast. The southern and central islands add very different experiences: Española’s beaches and cliffs, Floreana’s island history, Rábida’s red sand and the giant-tortoise country of Santa Cruz.
