4-Day Tour in the Galapagos Islands

Upon arrival, your guide will pick you up at San Cristobal airport. to take you to your hotel in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno and begin the adventure.

We begin our tour with a visit to the Interpretation Center. Located on the outskirts of Puerto Baquerizo, this center is dedicated to the history of human presence in the Galapagos. From the time of the first Spanish explorers to the present day, including distinguished visitors such as Charles Darwin, this permanent exhibition will take you through the dangers and struggles of the first settlers who tried to survive in the harsh Galapagos environment.

In the afternoon, we will visit La Loberia beach. There we can swim with the resident sea lions that give their name to this rocky beach. In addition to the numerous sea lions, you are likely to see frigate birds, Darwin's finches, mary canaries (the only yellow bird found on these islands!) and iguanas, all of which are common in this area.

Isla Lobos gets its name from the numerous sea lions that reside here, often found resting and playing along the rocky shores. It is also home to many birds, such as pelicans, nesting frigatebirds, and blue-footed boobies. Within the small channel, the water is very clear, making it easy to spot sea turtles, sea lions, rays, and perhaps even whitetip reef sharks during snorkeling activities.

Back in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, you can take a pleasant walk along the beautiful beach, rest and enjoy the landscape or read by the sea.

Leon Dormido, known in English as Kicker Rock. The Spanish name comes from the perception that the rock resembles a sleeping sea lion, while the English name has an unclear origin but seems to reference historical maritime landmarks in Hampshire, England, known as Gil-kicker and Kicker-Gill. In any case, it is an impressive rock formation, largely shaped by erosion. The journey takes approximately an hour from Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. Along the way, we pass through a variety of landscapes and vegetation zones. Keep your eyes open, as you might spot some interesting wildlife or plants while walking. Once we arrive at Leon Dormido, we can swim or snorkel with sea lions, sea turtles, and sharks—whitetip reef sharks, blacktip reef sharks, and Galapagos sharks. Additionally, many birds frequent the area, such as frigatebirds, blue-footed boobies, and lava gulls.
