Take another speedboat to San Cristóbal Island and visit the Galapagos National Park Interpretation Center near town to learn about the unique history of the ecosystems, flora, and fauna of the islands.. Later, go snorkelling at Tijeretas to look for wildlife like sea lions, rays and marine iguanas before wandering along the malecón to look for a local place to watch the sunset. Later, choose to get your dance on!

I would say the trip did not disappoint. The itinerary and Karina ensured to check every bucket list item from the Galapagos, which was crazy. It was better and bigger and wilder than I could've hoped, and I was so sad to leave the place.

I had the most incredible time on this trip! Our group became like a little family and we were all so sad to see it end! The ease and organization of it was all thanks to our amazing CEO, Jose!! It was so nice to have a local guide.
