Full Galapagos Loop
A 15-day Galápagos cruise aboard Tip Top IV, calling at Baltra, North Seymour, Española, San Cristóbal, Santa Cruz, Santa Fe. On Española, the oldest and arguably the greenest of the Galápagos Islands, incredible hikes await. You will get to see many endemic species, including the Española Mocking Bird, the Española Lava Lizard, and, hopefully, the famous Waved Albatross. Fernandina, the youngest island, will blow your mind with its rugged lava landscapes. The youngest island in the archipelago, it is still being formed by volcanic eruptions and makes for a wonderful, otherworldly contrast to the other islands.
