5-Day Galapagos Multisport

Itinerary

• DAY 1 Arrival to Baltra - Santa Cruz - Isabela Island
  

  Today is the first day of your Galapagos Multisport tour.

  It is important to book an early flight arrival to Baltra Airport to make sure you can enjoy all of the activities of the program as they are described.  

  At Baltra Airport, an English-speaking guide will pick you up to go to Puerto Ayora to enjoy your lunch. After lunch, you will take the speedboat to Isabela Island. This is a 2-hour ride on a speedboat, so please be prepared with a light waterproof jacket and motion sickness medication, if necessary. Upon arrival on Isabela Island, a driver will take you to your hotel.
