Western to Southern Galapagos
A 12-day Galápagos cruise aboard Hermes, calling at Baltra, Santa Cruz, Isabela, Fernandina, Isabela, Santiago. This 12-day Hermes itinerary begins where the Galápagos feel most elemental: Isabela and Fernandina. Walk beside marine iguanas, take a panga through the west coast’s sheltered coves, and keep watch for Galápagos penguins and flightless cormorants at the waterline. The voyage then travels through the central islands, from pirate-haunted Santiago and North Seymour to Rábida’s red beach, Bartolomé’s Pinnacle Rock and the cactus landscapes of South Plaza and Santa Fe.
