West & North Galapagos
A 9-day Galápagos cruise aboard Isabela II, calling at Baltra, Santa Cruz, Bartolomé, Santiago, Santa Cruz, Santiago. Western Isabela and Fernandina lead into the seabird-rich islands of the north. Young lava shores shelter marine iguanas, Galapagos penguins and flightless cormorants, while sheltered bays and cliffs bring sea lions and remarkable birdlife close. Each region feels distinct. Volcanic viewpoints and panga rides in the west contrast with beaches, cactus country and the nesting colonies of the north and south. Guided walks and snorkeling reveal how currents, altitude and island age shape the wildlife at every stop.
