Galapagos Elite Cruise: 5-Day Itinerary D - Northern Islands

Upon arrival at Baltra Airport, you'll be transferred to the M/C Elite. In the afternoon, visit Bachas Beach, a white sand shore famous for its crystal-clear waters and abundant wildlife. Explore the nesting grounds of sea turtles, see the vivid Sally Lightfoot crabs, and stroll near a lagoon frequented by flamingos. You’ll also have the chance to snorkel, where you might spot turtles and other marine life.
 

Start your day at Prince Philip’s Steps, climbing a rocky path through a nesting colony of Nazca and red-footed boobies. A short hike leads to a plateau where storm petrels soar over lava formations. Later, visit Darwin Bay, where a coral beach invites snorkeling alongside rays, hammerhead sharks, and vibrant reef fish. Explore mangroves and enjoy views from a cliffside viewpoint.
