Tourist superior cruise aboard Samba
Jun 9-16 · 8 days · 2 cabins left
The legendary 14 passenger Samba may be small in size, but it’s big in reputation (Google it). Pioneering the “Active Galapagos” approach to seeing the islands, a cruise on this ship will ensure you are exposed to the best of what the islands have to offer. Top quality naturalist guides have you up early to catch the sunrise as you kayak through the mangroves, or enjoying the last rays of sun on a remote beach at the end of the day, no opportunities go unexplored on the Samba.

Morning
Baltra Island Airport, Baltra
After landing at Baltra, you’ll cross the Itabaca Channel by ferry, board a bus, and head up to the misty highlands of Santa Cruz. Expect lush, cool terrain, towering giant tortoises mingling in the underbrush, and the chance to explore lava tunnels. The damp paths may be muddy — good walking shoes and a rain jacket are recommended.
