AM: Upon arrival at San Cristóbal Island, guides will meet you, collect your luggage, and escort you to the ship, where the crew will welcome you on board. After a welcome cocktail and an orientation and safety briefing, the cruise begins.

PM: San Cristóbal - Isla Lobos: (Dry landing) This islet is a one-hour boat ride from San Cristóbal. It is a seasonal nesting location for blue-footed boobies, although it is named for the colony of sea lions that rest and play on its rocky shores. Isla Lobos is also home to fur seals and frigatebirds. The islet has a tranquil and scenic atmosphere and is also a great place for snorkeling. Nest, head to Leon Dromido. This striking rock formation is located a couple hours off the western shore of San Cristóbal. Jutting out of the water, the rocks stand vertically at hundreds of feet above the ocean, divided by a small channel. Although there are no landing areas, kayaking and snorkeling allow visitors to spot a variety of marine life.

AM: Pitt Point: (Wet landing) At the far eastern end of San Cristóbalis Punta Pitt. Disembarking onto the small beach, visitors are confronted by the strong scent and cacophony of barking sea lions. A steep gully leads up the cliff to a breeding ground for Boobies of all three varieties: red-footed, blue-footed and nazca. It's the only place in the Galapagos where you can see all three species nesting together. Two species of frigatebirds are also present, as are swallow-tailed gulls and storm petrels. The tops of the cliff overlooking the beach provide excellent views.

PM: Cerro Brujo: (Wet landing) This afternoon we land on the fifth-largest island, at a beautiful white-sand beach full of pelicans, blue-footed boobies, sea lions and marine iguanas. This beach is also a good place for swimming and snorkeling.

PM: Cormorant Point: After a wet landing, take a trail overlooking a saltwater lagoon that offers views of a large flamingo colony. There are many other species of birds, including pintail ducks, common stilts and other migratory birds. See the two distinct beaches - the "Green Beach" and the "Flour Sand Beach." After this visit, we cruise to Devil's Crown. One of the best snorkeling sites in the Galapagos, this volcanic crater has been eroded by the waves leaving the northern and southern sides poking out of the water. The coral reef in the middle is perfect for attracting marine life. Snorkelers will enjoy the variety of marine life and exciting currents that rush through the crown, creating an exhilarating experience.
