Day one of our tour will initiate as soon as you arrive at the Baltra Airport, where you will be required to pass through the National Park. The value of the entry to the National Park is not included in the tour, and you will have to pay for it. You will be instructed to pay the ECOGAL or Lobito fee ($5), defined as the fee for using the airport transportation. Along with our guide, you will catch the bus, which will transfer you to the Itabaca Canal, which helps separate the Santa Cruz and Baltra Islands.
To reach Santa Cruz Island, you will use a barge that is available for you on the spot. When you arrive at the island, you will be directed to board the transport made available to carry you to your respective hotels in Puerto Ayora. Please note that different hotels will have their own particular check-in times, so you might have to remain patient until the room is ready for you. The guide will lead you to the Charles Darwin Research Centre. Here you will witness the magnificent breeding process of the tortoises, which is done to preserve their species. You will also witness extensive cactus forests, which are abode to large land birds. After exploring, you will depart to your hotel, where dinner will be served.
