Your adventure begins in San Cristobal, an island where life flows at a leisurely and authentic pace. After welcoming you at the airport and accompanying you to your hotel, we will take the first steps to understand this unique universe by visiting the Interpretation Center. There you will learn about the origins and secrets that make this archipelago a sacred place for conservation.

Soon after, the path will take you to Tijeretas Hill, a natural viewpoint with a magnificent view where frigatebirds soar over the horizon. From this point, we will descend to the calm waters of the bay for an underwater exploration experience. Whether you are experts or it is your first time in the sea, Tijeretas Bay will welcome you with the company of sea lions, turtles, and tropical fish in an environment of tranquility.

After this close contact with wildlife, we will return to the hotel so you can enjoy the rest of the afternoon at your own pace. It is the ideal time to walk along the boardwalk, choose a spot facing the ocean, and enjoy the sunset, starting your first night on the islands.

Activities: hiking, wildlife watching, snorkeling.

Highlights: San Cristobal, Tijeretas Hill, Observation Center.

For this day, we offer you the freedom to choose between two iconic experiences, allowing you to personalize your stay according to what inspires you most to discover together.

Option 1: Isla Lobos and Playa Ochoa – more hiking than snorkeling

Just 30 minutes by boat from the port, Isla Lobos is home to a large colony of sea lions. It is the ideal setting to walk hand in hand among the fauna and enjoy quiet snorkeling in crystal clear waters. You will be able to observe blue-footed boobies, marine iguanas, and frigatebirds up close, ending the morning in the serenity of Playa Ochoa. A perfect option for intimate contact with wildlife and relaxation on the sand.

At the end, you will return to San Cristobal with the rest of the day free.

Option 2: León Dormido or Kicker Rock – underwater exploration site in the open sea

For couples looking for a dose of adrenaline, this expedition takes you to one of the most imposing volcanic formations in the archipelago. After 45 minutes of navigation, you will arrive at Kicker Rock, a marine sanctuary where you can swim together in a natural canal and observe turtles, rays, and sharks.

The experience is completed with a rest on a pristine beach, a solitary corner ideal for processing the adventure before returning to port.

Couples with diving certification can enjoy an optional deep dive, upon presentation of their credentials.

Activities: snorkeling, hiking, beach, wildlife watching.

Highlights: San Cristobal, Isla Lobos, Playa Ochoa, León Dormido, Kicker Rock.

Early in the morning, you will transfer to the airport to take a small plane to Isabela. This 45-minute flight is not just a transfer; it is an experience that will allow you to admire the geography of the islands from above. Upon landing and settling into your hotel, the rest of the day will be just for you.

Isabela invites you to discover it slowly. You can walk along its beautiful white sand beach, rent bicycles to explore the Wetlands trail, or snorkel in the waters of Concha de Perla. As evening falls, we recommend experiencing one of the most memorable moments on the island: enjoying the sunset and each other’s company with a cocktail in hand from one of the bars facing the sea.

Activities: snorkeling, bike tour, wildlife watching, plane transfer.

The day begins with an expedition to the upper part of the island to discover an impressive place: the Sierra Negra Volcano, the second widest active crater on the planet. You will walk surrounded by a landscape that looks like it’s from another world.

The trail continues towards the Volcán Chico, a satellite crater of Sierra Negra. It is a hiking experience that will allow you to feel the geological force that gave life to the islands.

After the hike, you will return to the coastal area to enjoy an afternoon of rest and relaxation on the beach.

Today you will sail to Los Túneles (Cabo Rosa), a surreal setting where volcanic lava and the ocean created a series of natural arches and bridges over crystal clear waters. There you can swim and snorkel with rays, reef sharks, sea turtles, and even penguins. Its beauty makes it one of the most photographic and memorable spots in Isabela.

In the mid-afternoon, you will travel by boat to the island of Santa Cruz. Upon arrival, you will have the night free to begin discovering the vibrant atmosphere of Puerto Ayora, choose a restaurant for dinner, and enjoy the life of the port at your own pace.
