Itinerary

DAY 1 BALTRA – SANTA CRUZ ISLAND – FLAMINGO LAGOON
Today is the first day of your Galapagos Multisport tour. It will be necessary for you to book flights with an early arrival time to Baltra Airport to make sure you can enjoy all of the activities of the program. At Baltra Airport, your English speaking guide will pick you up and take you to the port of Puerto Ayora where you can enjoy your lunch. Around 02:00 PM, you will take a small public speedboat to Isabela Island. This can be a bumpy, wet ride so we recommend bringing a waterproof jacket and motion sickness medication, if necessary. Upon arrival to Isabela Island, a driver will pick you up, and then you will visit the Flamingo Lagoon. After that, you will be dropped off at your hotel.
