Information above subject to change, please confirm details at time of booking.
- Isla Baltra: The cruise portion of your journey begins on the beautiful island of Baltra where you'll tender onto the Celebrity Xpedition from our Zodiac rafts.
- Isla North Seymour: Located off the northern tip of Baltra, this small island is approximately 1.2 miles in length. Along its rocky coast there are great colonies of Blue- Footed Boobies and magnificent Frigate birds to discover.
- Isla Española: Welcome to the only place where the waved albatross nests. With rocky outcroppings, sea cliffs and a blowhole that spews water up to 75 feet in the air when the surf rushes in, Espanola belongs on your "don't miss" list.
- Isla Santa Cruz (Darwin Station): Located on Isla Santa Cruz are the headquarters of the Charles Darwin Research Station. Make time to visit the Rearing Center for giant tortoises, and learn more about island conservation and ongoing research.
- Isla Bartalome: The variety of volcanic formations found here give this small, barren island a moon-like appearance. Celebrated for its spectacular view of Pinnacle Rock, it is also a great place to hike and examine the geology of the island.
- Isla Isabel (Caleta Tagus): Stretching 80 miles in length, this island is the largest in the Galapagos and a favorite site of the early pirates and whalers. Famous for the high cliffs which enclose the protected bay, a visit here will give you the opportunity to view a salt water lagoon and the lava fields of Darwin Volcano.
- Isla Rabida: Known for its rugged, maroon-colored terrain, this island offers a picturesque view of brightly-colored flamingos congregated in its shallow saltwater lagoons.
- Isla Santiago (Puerto Egas): Explore steep cliffs of tuff lava formations where hundreds of seabirds perch, or discover the best tide pools in the Galapagos. Here you'll have the chance to marvel at Grottos made from black lava, the Sally Lightfoot Crabs, sponges, sea lions, barnacles, and fish including the Four-Eyed Blenny.
- Isla Santa Maria (Floreana): Floreana is best known for its colorful history of buccaneers, whalers and colonists. The island is also home to the Post Office - a mail system of yesteryear established to send letters to and from England. The tradition is kept alive today as visitors drop off and pick up letters (without stamps) to be carried to faraway destinations.
- Cerro Brujo (San Cristobal): Eroded volcanic peaks in the north and rich vegetation in the south characterize the island. This island is also home to the only freshwater lake in the Galapagos.
- Punta Espinoza (Isla Fernandina): Located on the northeast part of Fernandina, this port is known for its lava fields, where you can view recent volcanic activity and an abundance of wildlife from rich seas bathing the stark coastline. Here we find sea lions, masked boobies, marine iguanas, red billed tropic birds and many others.
