Southern to Northern Galapagos
A 11-day Galápagos cruise aboard Hermes, calling at Baltra, Santa Cruz, Rábida, Bartolomé, South Plaza, Santa Fe. This 11-day voyage follows Hermes from the central islands to the south and then north into the bird-rich reaches of Genovesa. Begin in the Santa Cruz highlands among giant tortoises, then travel through Rábida and Bartolomé before the itinerary turns towards San Cristóbal, Española and Floreana. Each part of the route brings a different way to be outside: panga rides and snorkelling around volcanic shores, walks across red sand and lava, and time on beaches shared with Galápagos sea lions.
