DAY 1 – BALTRA & SANTA CRUZ ISLANDS
Baltra Island
Guests land at Baltra Island by plane in the morning and then transfer to the dock to board the Santa Cruz II. After an introductory briefing onboard, guests will partake in an emergency boat drill, be assigned to their cabins and then be invited to lunch.
Las Bachas (Santa Cruz Island)
This beautiful visitor site is located on the northern shore of Santa Cruz Island, where a glorious white beach awaits along with a couple of brackish lagoons that are just a few steps away from the sea. These lagoons actually serve as the feeding grounds of various wading birds, from stilts to flamingos. Guests are welcome to enjoy swimming and snorkeling activities at this beach, too. Afterwards, guests will head back aboard for a welcome cocktail and an expedition briefing on the following day. Dinner is served shortly after this.
