Climb the 372-step boardwalk to Bartolome's summit before sunrise crowds arrive for the single most iconic view in the Galapagos, then continue to Sullivan Bay by private panga.
What to expect
A short private panga ride gets you to Bartolome's dock at dawn. You climb a wooden boardwalk through volcanic cones and spatter cones to a summit view of Pinnacle Rock and the twin bays below — the single most photographed panorama in the archipelago. Afterward you cross to Sullivan Bay for the lava walk, making a full, unrushed pairing of the two sites in one outing.
Good to know
This combines two sites in one long morning — confirm your ship's port timing allows it. Bring water; there's no shade on the ascent. Non-refundable booking, so lock in dates once your itinerary is confirmed.
