About This Tour
A short, land-based Galapagos introduction from Baltra — giant tortoises, a Santa Cruz bay tour, and two days visiting uninhabited islands for wildlife and snorkeling. This trip is entirely within the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador — no mainland time, starting and ending at Baltra Airport.

Frequently Asked Questions
