4 Days - Diving Packages

1st Day: Quito/Guayaquil - Flight - Galapagos: Baltra Island & the Highlands of Santa Cruz Island

Upon arrival to Baltra Island, our guide will be waiting for us. On our way to Puerto Ayora we will take an excursion to the highlands of Santa Cruz Island. The Scenery will continuously change as we ascend through all seven vegetation zones of the Galapagos. We will be able to view the giant tortoises at a farm in the highlands. Then we will visit the twins (los Gemelos), a pair of large pit craters or sinkholes where we find the bright red male vermilion flycatcher. Then we visit "the tunnels", the largest lava tunnels found in Galapagos. Picture

2nd Day: Galapagos Dive in Floreana Island

South of Santa Cruz Island, Floreana is the least populated island of the archipelago, in terms of people. We have three dive site options; Punta Cormorant, Champion and Enderby. Largely comprised of reef, all three offer something a little different including an occasional current that provides a thrilling drift dive opportunity.

Marine Life of Floreana: Look out for the endemic red lipped batfish and unique (and strange) Galapagos Sea Robin that has fins, wings and legs! Also here are white tip reef sharks, turtles, young sea lions playing, Galapagos sharks, sting rays, eagle rays, marbled rays, barracudas, reef fish and invertebrates like octopus in amongst the reef.

3rd Day: Galapagos Dive in Gordon Rocks

North-east of Santa Cruz island lie the famous Gordon Rocks. Sometimes called ‘The Washing Machine’ it is a popular site where intermediate and advanced divers go due to challenging currents and upwellings. It is these very currents that bring the plankton to the surface attracting large pelagics from across the sea in numbers.

Marine Life of Gordon Rocks: One of the best places to find Hammerhead sharks and the weird and wonderful Oceanic Sunfish (Mola Mola). Also here are Galapagos sharks, white tip reef sharks, lots of giant sea turtles, mobula rays, sting rays, eagle rays, panamic green morays, Galapagos eels, barracudas and various reef fish. Picture

4th Day: Galapagos: Puerto Ayora - Baltra Island - Mainland

Our guide will pick us up from our hotel and drive to Baltra Island in order to take our flight to Quito. It departs at 12h30 and arrives in Quito at 16h30. Another guide will welcome us and take us to our hotel. Picture
