Your first stop takes you to Cerro Dragón, a bird-lover’s paradise, where stilts, pintail ducks, Darwin’s finches, Galápagos mockingbirds, and the endemic Galápagos flycatcher are regular sightings. At Bartolomé Island you have the chance to snorkel next to Galápagos penguins before cruising to Puerto Egas, known for its numerous shore birds, Galápagos fur seals, and marine iguanas. On Rabida and North Seymour Islands, observe sea lions, marine iguanas, bluefooted boobies, frigate birds, and even greater flamingos!
