Cruise Description
Board the five star Solaris Yacht for a five day Southern Central Galapagos Islands cruise, and explore the region's most striking natural gems in modern comfort. With 11 spacious cabins and a maximum of 16 passengers on board, this luxury yacht delivers personalized experiences and exceptional service to meet all of your travel needs.
Begin your five-day journey on San Cristobal Island, where you'll meet and greet your guide and fellow passengers at San Cristobal Airport. Then reach your first site on this five-day itinerary - the Interpretation Centre, which recounts the natural and human history of the Galapagos archipelago.
Discover the four million-year-old Española Island, and spend your day strolling its pristine white sand beach, observing napping sea lions in the warm sunshine and snorkeling with these playful creatures.
Española Island's Punta Suarez is an unmissable site for bird lovers, as the island boasts a varied collection of seabirds. Among colonies of Nazca and blue-footed boobies, the endangered waved albatrosses also reside here, and visitors have the opportunity to watch them engage in synchronized courtship dances between May and November.
Sail onward to Floreana Island, where its shimmering olive green beach will awe you, and you'll embark on a guided walk to observe sea lions, frigatebirds, and pelicans in their natural habitat.
Then snorkel at Devil's Crown, a favorite in the Galapagos archipelago for its excellent visibility and diverse range of wildlife.
Mail home a postcard from historic Post Office Bay and climb Baroness Lookout for a striking panorama of the Galapagos. Here, you'll also learn about the self-proclaimed Empress of the Galapagos, Baroness Eloisa von Wagner Bosquet, and visit the ruins of her home.
Observe the volcanic features of Sullivan Bay by trekking across its extensive lava fields, then journey to the tiny 1.2 sq. km Bartolome Island to snorkel at the base of Pinnacle Rock.
Your 5-day Southern Central Galapagos Islands cruise ends with a visit to the tranquil mangrove forests of Black Turtle Cove, where you'll have the opportunity to encounter black-tip reef sharks, marine turtles and a variety of rays.
Be transported to Seymour Airport on Baltra Island for your onward flight to Quito or Guayaquil. The Solaris Yacht packs some of the Galapagos Island's most popular south-central highlights into this 5-day Galapagos itinerary, with opportunities to snorkel, conquer viewpoints and embark on guided walks along pristine beaches.
