Fly to the Galapagos Islands. Board your boat for lunch then visit North Seymour, home to large colonies of blue footed boobies and frigate birds.

Explore the lava tunnels of Sombrero Chino (Chinese Hat) island. Sail to Bartolome Island for lovely views of the archipelago and to snorkel with penguins.

Explore ‘Bird Island’ on foot with a walk to Prince Philip’s Steps. Visit the coral sands of Darwin Bay for the chance to snorkel with fur seals.

Walk along the coastline of Santiago to see Galapagos fur seals. Explore the red sand beaches and lagoons of Rabida island this afternoon.

Visit the giant tortoise breeding and conservation project at the Charles Darwin Centre this morning. After lunch on shore, continue to the highlands to look for giant tortoises in the ‘wild’.

Start today with a landing on ‘sea lion beach’. All along the sand are sea lions basking in the sun. This afternoon walk to the rugged cliffs of Punta Suarez to see spectacular bird life.

Walk the coastal path to look for the bright yellow Santa Fe land iguana with their distinctive spiked backs. Watch sea birds this afternoon on South Plaza island.

Visit the quiet mangroves of Black Turtle Cove this morning then on to the pretty coral sand beach of Bachas beach.

Dragon Hill (Cerro Dragon) is one of the newer visitor sites on Santa Cruz. Continue to Mosquera which, at just 160m across, is less an island than a reef but home to a large colony of sea lions.

Start today at Tagus Cove, a favourite site for early pirates and whalers. Walk to Darwin Lake to see birds. Continue to walk amongst marine iguanas on Fernandina.

Walk to a volcanic caldera for great views of the northern part of Isabela. Continue to Urbina bay where you look for giant tortoises in the wild and swim off the beach.

Walk across a lava flow this morning on Isabela Island. There is very still little sign of life on these fairly new flows. Carry on to Urbina Bay where you should see penguins and turtles.

Land in the small town of Puerto Villamil on the southern end of Isabela. Explore the highlands by foot then return to town to see birds, the beach and the old penal colony.

Walk across Floreana Island to see flamingoes and sea turtles. Continue to the Devil’s Crown where you can snorkel. After lunch, visit Post Office bay and learn something about the human history of the islands.

See the island of Daphne as you take a tour around the island before flying back to the mainland.
