Grand Majestic Yacht: Itinerary Southern Islands (A)

Arrive in San Cristobal, where you will be welcomed aboard your yacht. In the afternoon, visit El Junco Lagoon, one of the only permanent freshwater bodies in the Galapagos, located 700 meters above sea level. This crater lake attracts frigate birds that come to wash the salt from their feathers, as well as white-cheeked pintails and common gallinules.

Begin the day at Post Office Bay, a historic site where 18th-century whalers left letters in a wooden barrel for passing ships to deliver. Continue to Cormorant Point, home to a vibrant flamingo lagoon and two contrasting beaches—one with green olivine sand and another with white coral. In the afternoon, snorkel at Devil’s Crown, a submerged volcanic crater renowned for its incredible marine biodiversity, including reef sharks, sea turtles, and colorful fish.

Explore Suarez Point, a prime location for birdwatching, where you can observe blue-footed boobies, Nazca boobies, and the majestic waved albatross. The island’s famous blowhole sends ocean water high into the air, creating a dramatic spectacle. In the afternoon, relax on the white sands of Gardner Bay, where sea lions bask in the sun. Snorkel in the turquoise waters, home to vibrant marine life, including rays and reef sharks.

Visit the Twin Craters (Los Gemelos), massive sinkholes formed by collapsing lava chambers. The surrounding Scalesia forest is home to finches, short-eared owls, and other endemic species. After this final excursion, transfer to Baltra Airport for your return flight, concluding your incredible Galapagos adventure.
