Fernandina & Isabela Luxury Day Cruise: Twin-Island Wildlife Immersion

Spend a full day aboard a private luxury day-vessel exploring both Fernandina's Punta Espinoza and Isabela's volcanic coastline, with expert naturalist guides, gourmet Ecuadorian cuisine, and exclusive panga and snorkel excursions at each site.

What to expect

Embark from Punta Espinoza aboard a beautifully appointed private day vessel, where a licensed naturalist guide and a dedicated crew attend exclusively to your group. The morning is spent ashore at Fernandina — marine iguanas, flightless cormorants, and lava heron among the highlights — before the vessel moves to Isabela's Punta Moreno for an afternoon snorkel in the shadow of Sierra Negra's slopes. A chef prepares a fresh ceviche and grilled-fish lunch served on deck with Ecuadorian wines as the volcanoes frame the horizon. As the sun drops, the panga makes a final pass along the mangrove edge where Galápagos penguins roost.
