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.
Glide by inflatable dinghy at first light past marine iguanas, Galapagos penguins, and reef sharks before other boats arrive.
Walk one of the youngest, most intact lava flows on Earth — a moonscape of ropy pahoehoe barely 100 years old — with a guide trained in Galapagos volcanology.
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.
Snorkel directly off the lava coastline where curious young sea lions often swim right up to visitors, alongside white-tip reef sharks and sea turtles.
A slow, private boat circuit around the volcanic spire of Pinnacle Rock and its hidden coves, timed for the golden light after sunrise.
A guide who works with visiting nature photographers leads a slow, tripod-friendly walk across the lava field timed to the last hour of light.
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.
