The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Walk a jagged lava point crawling with thousands of marine iguanas found nowhere else on Earth, timed to the first landing slot before light and heat build.
Snorkel cold, nutrient-rich water where sea lions spiral around you and marine iguanas forage underwater, a behavior seen at almost no other reptile on Earth.
A quiet, engine-idled panga glide along Fernandina's mangrove-fringed lava coast, watching for rays, turtles, and Galapagos penguins without ever stepping ashore.
For the fit and curious, a guided hike toward Fernandina's active shield volcano caldera rim, one of the most volcanically alive spots in the archipelago.
A slow, low-tide walk through Fernandina's lava tidepools where marine iguana hatchlings and Sally Lightfoot crabs make for the archipelago's most photogenic close encounters.
There is no town, road network, or land infrastructure on Fernandina - it is uninhabited and accessible only by licensed boat landing, so any advertised 'land tour' bundling multiple stops by vehicle is not a real Fernandina product and should be treated with suspicion.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
