Northern to Eastern Galapagos
A 12-day Galápagos cruise aboard Hermes, calling at Baltra, Santa Cruz, Santiago, Genovesa, Santa Cruz, Isabela. This 12-day Hermes route begins in the north, where Genovesa’s cliffs and Darwin Bay are alive with seabirds. A panga ride through Black Turtle Cove and a landing at Bachas Beach lead into the volcanic west: Tagus Cove, Fernandina and Isabela, where marine iguanas, Galápagos penguins and flightless cormorants are among the species to look for. The final section crosses the central and eastern visitor sites. Walk North Seymour, snorkel at Rábida and Bartolomé, and visit the cactus landscapes of South Plaza and Santa Fe.
