Day 1 · Tuesday
Baltra Arrival & Black Turtle Cove
You'll fly into Baltra Island in the morning, where an Infinity staff member meets you after immigration and baggage claim and brings you to the yacht, with time to settle into your cabin before lunch and the welcome briefing. In the afternoon you'll visit Black Turtle Cove, in the northern part of Santa Cruz, a mangrove-lined inlet only accessible by dinghy since there's no landing. The shallow water here is a haven for young marine life, black-tip and white-tip reef sharks, sea turtles and a variety of rays are all commonly spotted.
Day 2 · Wednesday
El Barranco & Darwin Bay
El Barranco, also known as Prince Philip's Steps, is a steep, rocky climb up a cliff face with a marvellous view from the top. The site is home to Palo Santo vegetation and shelters red-footed boobies, short-eared owls, Galápagos storm petrels and Galápagos doves. In the afternoon, Darwin Bay's white coral sand beach opens onto a half-mile trail winding through mangroves filled with land birds, Nazca boobies, red-footed boobies and swallow-tailed gulls are all easy to spot here, and tide pools further along are a favourite play spot for sea lions.
Day 3 · Thursday
Sullivan Bay & Rabida Island
Sullivan Bay, on the southeast side of Santiago, is a striking site for its geology, the area is covered in lava flows and dotted with small volcanic elevations left behind as the lava cooled. In the afternoon, Rábida Island, also called Jervis, is one of the most colourful and volcanically varied islands in the archipelago. You'll start on its famous maroon-red sand beach before an easy hike to a lookout with sweeping views. It's a strong spot for birdwatching too, with several finch species, Galápagos vermilion flycatchers, hawks and brown pelicans all commonly seen.
Day 4 · Friday
Fausto Llerena Breeding Center & Departure
At the Fausto Llerena Breeding Center in Puerto Ayora, giant tortoises are raised in captivity from three-inch hatchlings to four-foot adults, with several subspecies living side by side and older tortoises often happy to pose for a photo. After this final visit you'll be transferred to Baltra Airport for your flight back to the mainland.
Day 1 · Friday
Baltra Arrival & El Chato
You'll fly into Baltra Island in the morning, where an Infinity staff member meets you after immigration and baggage claim before you head straight into your first excursion, ahead of boarding the yacht. Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes, a wide-brimmed hat, sunscreen and sunglasses, and keep your camera handy. The El Chato reserve, split into the Caseta and Chato areas, begins its trail at Santa Rosa, with the Caseta route being the more demanding option. During the dry season you can see giant tortoises roaming wild here, along with short-eared owls, Darwin's finches, yellow warblers, Galápagos rails and paint-billed crakes.
Day 2 · Saturday
Dragon Hill & Bachas Beach
Dragon Hill is one of the newest visitor sites in the Galápagos, and one of the longer walking trails in the islands leads along a beach and up to a lagoon lookout where flamingos, pintail ducks and land iguanas can be spotted. In the afternoon, Bachas Beach, on the north shore of Santa Cruz, is a swimming beach and one of the few places in the islands where a remnant of the US World War II presence, a floating pier, is still visible. Flamingos, Sally lightfoot crabs, hermit crabs, black-necked stilts and whimbrels are all regularly seen here, and sea turtles nest on the sand.
Day 3 · Sunday
Post Office Bay & Cormorant Point or Devil's Crown
At Post Office Bay you'll find the barrel that 18th century whalers used as an unofficial mailbox, a tradition still kept alive by visitors today, so don't forget your postcards. In the afternoon you'll visit either Cormorant Point, home to a large flamingo lagoon shared with common stilts and white-cheeked pintails, with two distinct beaches, the Green Beach coloured by olivine crystals and the Flour Sand Beach made of fine white coral, or Devil's Crown, the rocky remains of an offshore volcano and a strong spot to snorkel among a wide range of marine species.
Day 4 · Monday
Suarez Point & Gardner Bay
On the trail to Suárez Point you'll spot blue-footed boobies, Nazca boobies and, with luck, the waved albatross, Española is the breeding ground for nearly all 12,000 pairs left in the world. A clifftop launch pad here is where the albatross take off on their long flights, and a coastal blowhole sends seawater shooting into the air, a favourite for photographs. In the afternoon, Gardner Bay is a stretch of white sand and a lively sea lion colony, where you can walk the beach or swim alongside sea lion pups, with curious mockingbirds often nearby.
Day 5 · Tuesday
Gianni Arismendy Interpretation Center & Departure
The Gianni Arismendy Interpretation Center is part of a broader environmental project exploring the natural history of the islands, including human interaction and conservation efforts. The Museum of Natural History covers the archipelago's volcanic origins, ocean currents, climate and the arrival of endemic species, while the Human History exhibit traces the islands' discovery and colonisation. After this final visit you'll be transferred to San Cristóbal Airport for your flight back to the mainland.

Day 1 · Tuesday
San Cristobal Arrival, Puerto Chino or David Rodriguez Breeding Center
You'll land at San Cristóbal Airport, where an Infinity staff member meets you after immigration and baggage claim and brings you to the yacht, with time to settle into your cabin before lunch and the welcome briefing. In the afternoon you'll visit either Puerto Chino, a white sand beach about 30 minutes' walk from the road roughly 24 kilometres from Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, good for birdwatching and snorkelling, or the David Rodríguez Breeding Center, known locally as La Galapaguera, in Cerro Colorado. Warblers, finches and mockingbirds move through the surrounding trees and shrubs there, while giant tortoises live wild but protected on the trails.
Day 2 · Wednesday
Santa Fe Island & South Plaza Island
Santa Fe, also known as Barrington, is home to a picturesque bay and anchorage on its northeast coast, with two trails, one climbing to a scenic clifftop viewpoint, the other running from a small beach to a tall forest of prickly pear cactus. In the afternoon, South Plaza is a small island with steep cliffs, formed by rising lava and now covered in Opuntia cactus. It holds one of the largest sea lion colonies in the islands along with colourful yellow and red land iguanas, and the Sesuvium ground cover shifts from greenish yellow in the rainy season to bright red through the dry months from late June to January.
Day 3 · Thursday
Fausto Llerena Breeding Center & Twin Craters
At the Fausto Llerena Breeding Center in Puerto Ayora, giant tortoises are raised in captivity from three-inch hatchlings to four-foot adults, with several subspecies living side by side and older tortoises often happy to pose for a photo. In the afternoon you'll visit the Twin Craters, set on either side of the road between Puerto Ayora and Baltra. Despite the name, they aren't true volcanic craters, but pit formations created when underground chambers collapsed, and the view is dramatic.
Day 4 · Friday
Moreno Point & Elizabeth Bay
Moreno Point sits southwest of Elizabeth Bay, where a dry landing takes you onto what was once flowing lava, now pocked with crystal-clear tide pools. Pink flamingos, white-cheeked pintails and common gallinules gather in the brackish pools, and a closer look sometimes reveals white-tip reef sharks and sea turtles drifting by. In the afternoon, Elizabeth Bay, on Isabela's east coast, is dotted with islets best explored by dinghy. Penguins and blue-footed boobies are often seen on the rocky outcrops, and the clear, wildlife-rich water is excellent for snorkelling among colourful fish, sea lions and the occasional shark.
Day 5 · Saturday
Urbina Bay & Tagus Cove
Urbina Bay sits at the base of Alcedo Volcano, between Tagus Cove and Elizabeth Bay. A major uplift in 1954 pushed the land up more than 16 feet, extending the coast half a mile and stranding marine life on the new shore. It's also a great spot for snorkelling, alongside the largest land iguanas in the Galápagos and resident giant tortoises. In the afternoon, Tagus Cove, on Isabela, sits opposite Fernandina near the Bolívar Channel and has been used as an anchorage by passing ships since the 1800s. Trails wind past Lake Darwin up to a ridge with sweeping views.
Day 6 · Sunday
Espinoza Point & Vicente Roca Point
After crossing the Bolívar Channel between Isabela and Fernandina, you'll land at Espinoza Point. Past a colony of marine iguanas and a group of sea lions lies the island's highlight, a flightless cormorant nesting site, and this is also a strong spot to see the Galápagos hawk. In the afternoon, Vicente Roca Point is made up of two coves within a large bay known for spectacular marine life, keep an eye out for seahorses, sea turtles and the strange, fascinating sunfish while you snorkel.
Day 7 · Monday
Egas Port & Pinnacle Rock
Egas Port, also known as James Bay, is home to Galápagos hawks and quick-footed lava lizards, with a trail leading to tide pools and grottos where Galápagos fur seals bathe in the sun, and good snorkelling just offshore. In the afternoon you'll head to Bartolomé Island, home to the famous Pinnacle Rock. Bartolomé is an extinct volcano marked by red, orange, black and even green volcanic rock, and a stairway trail climbs roughly 30 to 40 minutes to the summit for one of the best views in the Galápagos. The beach below, framed by the island's only vegetation, is a strong snorkel spot, sometimes with Galápagos penguins swimming right alongside you.
Day 8 · Tuesday
North Seymour Island & Departure
North Seymour Island holds a strong population of Galápagos sea lions, blue-footed boobies and magnificent frigatebirds, formed by submarine lava flows uplifted by tectonic activity into an arid, low-lying landscape. Land and marine iguanas are common here, and the snorkelling turns up rays, reef sharks, fish and garden eels. After this final visit you'll be transferred to Baltra Airport for your flight back to the mainland.
