Beyond Darwin's Footsteps
An 8-day Galápagos cruise aboard Grace, calling at Baltra, Santa Cruz, Floreana, Española, San Cristóbal, Santa Fe. On Española, the oldest and arguably the greenest of the Galápagos Islands, incredible hikes await. You will get to see many endemic species, including the Española Mocking Bird, the Española Lava Lizard, and, hopefully, the famous Waved Albatross. On North Seymour, an incredible hike and snorkeling session awaits you. This island is the archipelago condensed into very little space, and you'll be able to see almost all the iconic Galápagos species in just a few hours.
