Alya

Alya is a catamaran motor yacht with 9 cabins for up to 16 passengers. There are 3 varieties of cabin – double matrimonial, twin and private balcony – all with a private bathroom. These setups can suit the needs of every guest with solo travellers allowed to share on a same-gender basis to avoid single supplement charges.

The ship comes equipped with an array of social spaces where you can enjoy the cruise between activities. These include a lounge with a great sea view, TV, DVD player and library, a dining room with a 24-hour coffee station, a bar, a sun deck for great views of the surrounding environment and wildlife and an al fresco dining area at the rear of the boat where you can enjoy the ship’s cuisine outdoors.

The chef onboard will prepare meals with international and Ecuadorian flavours on a diverse menu. Food prepared onboard can meet dietary requirements of guests so be sure to let us know about any of these before you book so that the appropriate preparations can be made.

Wildlife & Photography
The main focus of this trip is to experience the Galapagos’ unique wildlife and landscapes above, on and below the water. All itineraries include activities like hiking, kayaking, snorkelling, panga rides and swimming on excursions which take place twice daily, helping to give you the opportunity to explore the archipelago from different perspectives.

Each of the islands provides its own individual environment due to their age differences and stages of colonisation, which can differ by millions of years. As you make your way through any of the itineraries here, you will notice gradual changes in the landscapes and wildlife which you are surrounded by. Some of the wildlife which you can hope to see here includes Galapagos Sea Lions, Marine and Land Iguanas, Nazca and Blue-Footed Boobies, Galapagos Tortoises, Galapagos Penguins and Flightless Cormorants, among many others.

The great abundance and variety of life here makes this trip ideal for photographers. There are plenty of opportunities for every photographer to get their shots – macros of sunbathing Marine Iguanas, wide-angles of Sea Lion colonies and the islands and underwater captures of Sharks and Rays are just some of the possibilities here.

Even though the trips offered here explore a lot of the archipelago’s wonders, there are many other ways which you can explore the Galapagos Islands. If you wanted to extend your stay here to experience more of this location, you could book an add-on experience, such as a dive liveaboard from our Galapagos Dive Liveaboards page or one from our Galapagos page. We also offer trips in mainland Ecuador which you could choose to experience too.

Itinerary

Please note that these itineraries are subject to change without notice due to seasonal changes, last minute weather conditions and the decision of the Galapagos National Park authority.

Itinerary A – Central & North (5 days / 4 nights)

Day 1 (Thursday) – Arrival & Black Turtle Cove

AM: Arrival, Baltra Island
Upon arrival Baltra, travellers pass through an airport inspection point to make sure that no foreign plants or animals are introduced to the islands, and to pay the park entrance fee of $200 (unless it has been prepaid). A guide will meet you, help you collect your luggage and escort you on a short bus ride to the harbour.

PM: Caleta Tortuga Negra, Santa Cruz Island
Black Turtle Cove offers engineless activities, so you will explore it by panga, paddling across the mangrove forested coastline of this stretch of Santa Cruz. There is great wildlife here due to the high levels of protection of this environment such as Sea Turtles, Pelicans & Sharks.

Day 2 (Friday) – Darwin Bay & Prince Philip’s Steps

AM: Darwin Bay, Genovesa Island
Inside the submerged caldera of Genovesa lies Darwin Bay, whose diameter is more than 1.5 km (1 mile) and it is almost 200 m (650 ft) deep. The small area will surprise you repeatedly, walking along a coral sand beach, crossing barren lava formations and creeks, passing tidal pools, shrubs and further ahead following the top of some cliffs. With this peaceful surrounding, every species has occupied its own ecological niche (or habitat) without disturbing others. There is great birdlife here with starring species including Red-Footed Boobies, Great Frigatebirds & Laval Gulls. These often share the beach with Galapagos Sea Lions.

PM: El Barranco, Genovesa Island
Before landing, you will take an inflatable dinghy-ride along the eastern arm of the caldera. As we approach, the soaring 25 m / 80 ft high walls become overwhelming. Sometimes, a Galapagos fur seal is resting or a seabird is nesting on one of the ledges at the base. You will then have to hike and overcome the steep stairs from the landing dock to a bush of palo santo shrubs on top. Red-footed boobies gratefully use these scarce nesting places so that they don’t have to nest on the rocky ground. Upon arriving at the edge of the rim, the bushes open up and you can enjoy panoramic views, a sea breeze and the amazing flying skills of countless seabirds. Following the exposed rim, you will first pass a place where we usually encounter a colony of Nazca boobies; and finally reach the extensive storm petrel nesting places. If you are lucky, you can spot the well camouflaged short-eared owl hunting for them on foot!

Day 3 (Saturday) – Sullivan Bay & Bartolomé

AM: Sullivan Bay, Santiago Island
Setting foot at the lava stream covering Sullivan Bay is like landing on the moon. The desolate, stretched out lava fields seem mostly lifeless, but there is plenty to see on this highly popular site, with lots to photograph. Pacific green turtles seasonally bury eggs in the tiny white sand beach, where you might also encounter crabs, a stray blue heron or an American oystercatcher as you snorkel. On the lava flows sparse pioneer vegetation such as lava cacti and carpetweed are able to grow. You might also encounter a lava lizard, locusts or a small species of snake called the Galapagos racer when exploring the bay by foot.

PM: Bartolomé Island
One of the Galapagos’ most iconic locations, the beautiful volcanic islet of Bartolomé is among the youngest islands in the archipelago. On a geological scale Bartolomé was only recently born out of volcanic activity. Although at first sight lifeless, Bartolomé offers some of the wildest landscapes and best panoramas of the entire archipelago. To enjoy the postcard view of the idyllic Pinnacle Bay, you have to climb steps to a viewpoint on top of the island (114 m / 375 ft). Enter a dramatic world of threatening (though extinguished) nearby spatter cones, craters, and lightweight lava droplets that have been spewed out by fiery fountains. The Summit Trail is also ideal for witnessing how scanty pioneer vegetation such as lava cacti manage to take root on the bare virgin lava fields. The islet is also a good location for snorkelling and panga rides.

Day 4 (Sunday) – Chinese Hat & Mosquera

AM: Sombrero Chino
Chinese Hat, aptly named due to its slowly sloping sides giving the island an appearance resembling that of a Chinese hat, is one of the smallest in the peninsula. The recent formation of the island gives it a unique environment where there are different stages of colonisation by pioneer species at this location compared to others you will have visited. Walking on the island is a great way to experience the island’s wildlife, including Sally Lightfoot Crabs, Marine Iguanas, Galapagos Sea Lions & Lava Lizards. Out of the cracks in dried-up lava, lava cacti are a common sight. The waters of the island are calm & home to White-Tip Reef Sharks, so there is ample opportunity for snorkelling & kayaking here too.

PM: Mosquera Island
Mosquera is a low white sand island which lies in the Itabaca Channel between Baltra Island (South Seymour) and North Seymour. It is surrounded by coral reefs, providing protected conditions for snorkelling. Above water, it has a large sealion colony and is good for spotting birds like America oyster catchers, blue-footed boobies and lava gulls.

Day 5 (Monday) – Darwin Station & Departure

AM: Charles Darwin Research Station, Santa Cruz Island
Although the great majority of Galapagos visitors come here to observe and appreciate natural wonders, it is also interesting to learn how the protection and conservation of the islands are carried out. The main attractions are the National Park information centre, the Van Staelen Exhibition Hall, the Breeding and Rearing Centre for young tortoises and adult Galapagos tortoises in captivity.

PM: Departure, Baltra Island
Your guide & some crew members will go with you to Baltra where you will board the airport shuttle. Your guide will remain with you through the check-in counters & departure hall.

Itinerary B – Central & West (6 days / 5 nights)

Day 1 (Monday) – Arrival & Highlands

AM: Arrival, Baltra Island
Upon arrival Baltra, travellers pass through an airport inspection point to make sure that no foreign plants or animals are introduced to the islands, and to pay the park entrance fee of $200 (unless it has been prepaid). A guide will meet you, help you collect your luggage and escort you on a short bus ride to the harbour.

PM: Highlands, Santa Cruz Island
The road to the highlands leaves from Bellavista, a small village located a 15-minute drive from Santa Cruz’ main town of Puerto Ayora. The road passes through the Galapagos’ most productive agricultural zone, up to the National Park boundary. We find Miconia vegetation at this altitude, changing to the Fern and Sedge zone as we ascend further. With clear weather, we can enjoy beautiful scenes of rolling hills and extinct volcanic cones covered with grass and lush greenery all year round. In the Highlands, you will be able to see Galapagos Giant Tortoises as they graze in freshwater ponds, there will be a diversity of birdlife rarely found in the lowlands to see and you will visit a lava tunnel and learn about their formation.

Day 2 (Tuesday) – Moreno Point & Elizabeth Bay

AM: Punta Moreno, Isabela Island
Punta Moreno is the site of a large dry lava field created by Cero Azul Volcano. This is a strange landscape, with vegetation-less lava, tidal lagoons and mangroves all in the same space. In some of the large tidal lagoons and pools, you may be able to see Green Turtles and Sharks. The mangrove forests provide habitat for other animals like Galapagos Flamingos, Brown Pelicans and some Galapagos Penguins.

PM: Elizabeth Bay, Isabela Island
This is a marine visitor site, so the excursion has no landing point. Your panga ride starts with a visit to the Marielas islets: home to the largest and most important penguin colony in the Galapagos Islands. The excursion continues into a cove, surrounded by red mangroves, where you can admire their red roots and green leaves. Here, you might be able to observe sea turtles, flightless cormorants, spotted eagle rays, golden cownose rays, brown pelicans and sealions. You might also see Galapagos hawks soaring overhead with schools of pompano and dorado fish swimming down below.

Day 3 (Wednesday) – Urbina Bay & Espinosa Point

AM: Urbina Bay, Isabela Island
Urbina Bay is on the west coast of Isabela and has a recently uplifted seabed which has forced corals up above the water’s surface, providing a unique snorkelling experience. There are 2 treks at this bay which offer chances of seeing Galapagos Tortoises & large Land Iguanas amongst other wildlife including Flycatchers, Finches & Mockingbirds.

PM: Punta Espinoza, Fernandina Island
Fernandina is the third largest island in the archipelago and has a single visitor site: Punta Espinoza, located at the northeastern tip of the island. Here, marine iguanas conglomerate in larger groups than on any other island. They bask around in the sand, swim near the shore and sometimes block the way at the landing dock. Among the unique species found here, we can find the flightless cormorant. The species here can be experienced walk, snorkel or panga around the location.

Day 4 (Thursday) – Tagus Cove & Vicente Roca Point

AM: Tagus Cove, Isabela Island
A tour along the cliffs will give visitors a good chance to see the Galapagos penguin, the flightless cormorant and other seabirds. From the landing dock, it is about a 30-minute hike along the trail up to the top of the cliff from where you can view Darwin Lake, an uplifted lake saltier than the sea. You can also see several volcanoes from this location. Look carefully at the graffiti on the surrounding cliffs of the cove, done by pirates, whalers and buccaneers in past centuries!

PM: Punta Vicente Roca, Isabela Island
There are great snorkelling opportunities at Vicente Roca Point thanks to upwelling cold-water currents here. Marine life in the area includes various Shark species, Galapagos Penguins, Seahorses & Mola-Mola. Other animals which you can hope to see here are Nazca & Blue-Footed Boobies, Brown Pelicans & Flightless Cormorants.

Day 5 (Friday) – Espumilla Beach & Egas Port

AM: Espumilla Beach, Santiago Island
Espumilla Beach is an important breeding site for turtles. It suffered for a period, from feral pigs which dug up turtle nests; but the beach’ natural state has been restored so the turtles return year after year to bury their eggs into the cinnamon-coloured sand dunes. 6 weeks later, during the months of February to August, the eggs hatch.

The beach ridge hides a mangle with two lagoons on the backside. A colony of American flamingos and aquatic birds used to be its main attraction, but after a previous El Niño, strong sedimentation altered the water environment, and now no longer provides their food. Vegetation zones are very close by, providing great scenic contrasts. During the climb up a hill, you will be rewarded with a beautiful view of the transitions from sea to beach and from mangrove to a dry palo santo forest.

PM: Puerto Egas, Santiago Island
Puerto Egas is a black beach located at the west side of Santiago Island. Volcanic tuff deposits formed this special black sand beach and made it the main attraction of the Island. This site is called Puerto Egas because Hector Egas attempted to exploit the salt, which failed because the price of salt on mainland South America was too low to make it a viable export. There is a trail which follows the coastline here for sightings of Marine Iguanas, Galapagos Sea Lions and many sea birds. Land Iguanas were reintroduced to the island as recently as 2019, so look out for these as you walk. At the end of the trail is a small Galapagos Fur Seal colony. If you snorkel from the beach here, you may be able to see Turtles, a range of Fish and Reef Sharks.

Day 6 (Saturday) – Bachas Beach & Departure

AM: Playa las Bachas, Santa Cruz Island
These two small beaches are found to the west of Turtle Cove. Their sand is made of decomposed coral, which makes it white and soft, and a favourite nesting site for sea turtles. Behind one of the beaches there is a small brackish water lagoon, where it is occasionally possible to observe flamingos and other coastal birds, such as black-necked stilts and whimbrels.

The other beach is longer, but it has two old barges that were abandoned during World War II, when USA used Baltra Island as a strategic point from which to protect the Panama Channel. The rocky shoreline can be a great place to photography Sally Lightfoot Crabs.

PM: Departure, Baltra Island
Your guide & some crew members will go with you to Baltra where you will board the airport shuttle. Your guide will remain with you through the check-in counters & departure hall.

Itinerary C – Southeast (6 days / 5 nights)

Day 1 (Saturday) – Arrival & North Seymour

AM: Arrival, Baltra Island
Upon arrival Baltra, travellers pass through an airport inspection point to make sure that no foreign plants or animals are introduced to the islands, and to pay the park entrance fee of $200 (unless it has been prepaid). A guide will meet you, help you collect your luggage and escort you on a short bus ride to the harbour.

PM: North Seymour Island
This islet is one of most visited sites in the Galapagos and it is teeming with birdlife. An easy circular path takes you through the archipelago’s most extensive colonies of blue-footed boobies and frigate birds. At the beginning of the breeding season, adult frigatebird-males blow up their vivid red pouches (gulas) to impressive football-sized balloons. This is one of the few spots where you can compare the magnificent and the great frigatebird breeding next to each other.

You are likely to come across several land iguanas on North Seymour and the coast can be a good place to spot Galapagos sealions.

 

Day 2 (Sunday) – South Plaza & Santa Fé

AM: South Plaza Island
South Plaza is a beautiful island formed out of lava which bubbled up to the sea surface. It is relatively small but very diverse in its botany and very good for spotting Land Iguanas. hybrid Iguanas exist here, created through the mating of male marine iguanas and female land iguanas.

There are approximately 1,000 Galapagos Sealions on the island and birdlife is plentiful. Cliffs on the western side are nesting sites for Blue-footed and Nazca Boobies, whilst we can find Darwin's Finches amongst the rocks of the eastern side, Lava Gulls and lovely Swallow-tail Gulls. Red-billed Tropicbirds often swoop low overhead, whilst in the sea beneath the western cliffs we can often see schools of fish close to the surface.

This island can be one of the best for photography.

PM: Santa Fé Island
Located in the southeastern part of the Galapagos, this island was formed from an uplift rather than being from a volcanic origin, which is why it is mostly flat. There are some theories claiming that this could be the oldest island in the archipelago. Santa Fé is home to a number of endemic species like the Galapagos Hawk, Galapagos snake, Galapagos mockingbird, rice rats and one of the two species of land iguanas on the islands. After disembarking into the beautiful and clear waters, you will be in contact with one of the many sea lion colonies. Along the trail, many saltbushes can be seen, as well some particularly impressive giant Opuntia cacti ‘trees’.

The island is some 24 km2 in area and a maximum 60 metres above sea level. The waters which surround it can be a lovely turquoise blue, with a protective barrier of rocks creating a semi-lagoon which is ideal for humans and sealions alike for swimming and snorkelling.

Day 3 (Monday) – Interpretation Centre & Lobos

AM: Interpretation Centre, San Cristobal Island
The San Cristóbal Interpretation Centre just outside the provincial capital of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, is a perfect complement to the field explanations and briefings of your naturalist guide and host. Information panels are in English and Spanish, with many photographs, models and true to life dioramas which tell the background story of the islands in different ways. They really capture what makes the Galapagos Islands so unique. The well-maintained botanical garden with native species from the arid zone (including the giant prickly pear and candelabra cacti) is worth your visit as well; and you will probably spot the Chatham Mockingbird which is endemic to this island - a bird which put Darwin on track to his theory of evolution. The attractive exhibition is quite complete and explains a series of natural circumstances that create the Galapagos’ unique environment: such as the volcanic genesis of the islands, their remoteness from the continent, its ocean currents, its special climate, the arrival of different species, and their establishment, among others. It also recounts historic discovery and attempts of colonisation; and shows a diorama with ancient mail barrels from Post Office Bay.

PM: Isla Lobos, San Cristobal Island
The Lobos Islets beach harbours a colony of Galapagos sea lions. In the breeding season this colony is also visited by territorial males, defending and mating the harem on their section of beach. This low islet is home to more than just Galapagos sea lions. Two other emblematic species breed here: male blue-footed boobies and great frigate birds. Male frigatebirds inflate and wobble huge red throat poaches called gulas. As you snorkel or ride a panga, you may see these iconic birds flying overhead and catching fish.

Day 4 (Tuesday) – Gardner Bay & Suarez Point

AM: Gardner Bay, Española Island
The striking white beach at Gardner Bay is an important breeding site for Pacific green turtles. However, without doubt its main attraction is the Galapagos sea lion colony. Females stay year-round in this nursery, suckling their pups up to an age of 3 years, although they start to fish after 5 months of their birth. During the breeding and mating season, the colony becomes even bigger. Snorkelling is a great way to experience the wildlife here, with highlights including Reef Sharks, Rays and a range of Fish.

PM: Punta Suarez, Española Island
Huge ocean waves crash onto the southern basaltic cliffs of Suarez Point, forming a spectacular blowhole, where the water sprays metres high into the air (depending on the season, the tide and how strongly the sea breeze pushes the waves). There is an immense diversity of wildlife here, with the Nazca Booby, Blue-Footed Booby and a Galapagos Albatross colony.

 

Day 5 (Wednesday) – Cormorant Point / Devil’s Crown & Alieri Hill

AM: Punta Cormorant & Devil’s Crown, Floreana Island
The peninsula of Cormorant Point marks the extreme northern cape of Floreana – an island formed from smaller volcanic cones, covered now by tropical dry forest (palo santo). At the landing beach, you are likely to be welcomed by a small colony of Galapagos sealions. The green sand on this beach contains a high percentage of glassy olivine crystals which have been blown out by the surrounding tuff cones.

The ‘flour sand’ beach on the southern side of the peninsula is made up of white coral ground into sand by Parrotfish. It feels very smooth on the feet. You may be able to spot stingrays who use the sandy bottom to bury themselves. During the first months of the year, Pacific green turtles come ashore to dig a nest in which to bury their eggs.

Devil’s Crown is a small outcrop of rocks off the coast of Floreana near Cormorant Point with a circular arrangement which gives them their name. Here, there is spectacular snorkelling with an abundance of reef fish such as Parrotfish, Surgeonfish & King Angelfish as well as Sharks, Manta Rays & Hammerhead Sharks.

PM: Cerro Alieri, Floreana Island
Alieri Hill is an extinct volcano which has been mostly eroded since its formation. There are great unique plants to see on this island with many endangered species which are hard to find elsewhere in the archipelago. The northern coast of the island has great views and opportunities for spotting birds – flycatchers, yellow warblers and finches, for example.

 

Day 6 (Thursday) – Highlands & Departure

AM: Highlands, Santa Cruz Island
The road to the highlands leaves from Bellavista, a small village located a 15-minute drive from Santa Cruz’ main town of Puerto Ayora. The road passes through the Galapagos’ most productive agricultural zone, up to the National Park boundary. We find Miconia vegetation at this altitude, changing to the Fern and Sedge zone as we ascend further. With clear weather, we can enjoy beautiful scenes of rolling hills and extinct volcanic cones covered with grass and lush greenery all year round. There will be Galapagos Giant Tortoises, Finches, Barn Owls, White-Cheeked Pintails and Flycatchers to see here as well as a visit to a lava tunnel.

PM: Departure, Baltra Island
Your guide & some crew members will go with you to Baltra where you will board the airport shuttle. Your guide will remain with you through the check-in counters & departure hall.
