Voyage to Floreana
Enjoy a boat ride from Santa Cruz to Floreana Island, the first island in the archipelago to establish a permanent settlement. The rich history of the island is matched by the diverse native and endemic flora and fauna. Take a tour of the highlands to learn about the earliest Galapagos settlers. A bird watcher's delight, Floreana is home to many species including blue-footed boobies, masked boobies, nazca boobies, penguins, frigate birds, pelicans and more. Your tour continues with two snorkeling trips where it's common to encounter sea lions, reef fish, sharks, turtles and rays.
