About this tour
This Galapagos Island cruise of 9 days takes you to 10 islands. You see the islands San Cristobal, Espanola, Floreana, North Seymour, Bartolome, Genovesa, South Plaza, Santa Fe, Santa Cruz and Mosquera. This cruise is ideal for people who like to experience the diversity of the Galapagos with a relaxed travel schedule.
From San Cristobal's interpretation center you sail to Punta Pitt and Kicker Rock, then to Espanola, the oldest island, for Gardner Bay's sea lions and Punta Suarez's waved albatross and blowhole. Floreana brings Post Office Bay and Cormorant Point, followed by the seabird colonies of North Seymour and the Pinnacle Rock of Bartolome. The voyage reaches remote Genovesa, a drowned caldera alive with red-footed boobies and frigatebirds, then turns central for South Plaza's land iguanas, Santa Fe's turquoise bay, and Santa Cruz's Twin Craters, El Chato tortoise reserve and Charles Darwin Research Station, ending on the Mosquera sandbar.
Letty offers up to sixteen guests air-conditioned cabins with private bathrooms. It has a sun-deck solarium, lounge, and buffet dining room. WiFi onboard, snorkeling gear, wet-suits and kayaks are also included. Licensed tour guides will add detail to your Galapagos travel experience. The trip departs Monday and ends 9 days later on Tuesday.

- The Bird Island of Genovesa: One of the most remote and least-visited islands in the archipelago, reached inside a sunken volcanic caldera. Red-footed boobies, swallow-tailed gulls and frigatebirds nest at eye level along the trail, and the cliff-top plateau of Prince Philip's Steps is one of the few places on earth to spot the short-eared owl hunting by day.
- Española and the Waved Albatross: The oldest island in the Galápagos and home to species found nowhere else — from the crimson "Christmas" marine iguana to the entire world population of nesting waved albatross (April to December). Pair the wildlife trail at Punta Suárez with the white coral sands and sea lion colony of Gardner Bay.
- Giant Tortoises in the Wild: Meet the archipelago's most famous residents on their own terms, roaming freely through the misty highlands of Santa Cruz at El Chato Ranch. The visit is completed at the Charles Darwin Research Station, where the breeding program that saved several tortoise populations continues today.
- Iconic Landscapes and Underwater Encounters: Climb Bartolomé for the classic view over Pinnacle Rock, sail past the towering monolith of Kicker Rock, and walk the olivine-green beach of Cormorant Point. Below the surface, snorkel alongside Galápagos penguins, sea turtles, reef sharks and curious sea lions in some of the richest waters in the Pacific.
