Western, Central & Eastern Galapagos
A 9-day Galápagos cruise aboard Hermes, calling at Baltra, Santa Cruz, Isabela, Fernandina, Isabela, Santiago. This 9-day Hermes itinerary links the wild western islands with the central and eastern Galápagos in one remarkably varied voyage. From Baltra, sail west to Isabela and Fernandina, then travel east through Santiago, Rábida, Bartolomé, South Plaza, Santa Fe and San Cristóbal. On Fernandina, watch marine iguanas gather below volcanic slopes and look for flightless cormorants, penguins and sea lions at the waterline. Explore the sheltered coves of Isabela by panga and snorkel, then trade black lava for Rábida’s red beach, the Pinnacle Rock panorama of Bartolomé and the bird-rich cliffs of the eastern islands.
