Day 1: Galápagos Islands Highlights
Exploring Galápagos Islands
Begin your day at Galápagos Islands early to beat the crowds and catch the best light. The area is most atmospheric in the morning when the air is cool and the landscape catches the first golden rays. Take time to explore the main highlights and capture photographs in the soft morning light. This is the most rewarding time to visit.
Deeper Exploration
Spend the afternoon exploring further afield. Follow the trails deeper into the landscape for more secluded viewpoints and quieter corners. Grab lunch at a local eatery for authentic flavours and budget-friendly prices.
Island Evening
Return to your cruise ship or lodge in Puerto Ayora for dinner. Most visitors dine at their accommodation, but if you are based in town, head to the street food stalls along Charles Binford Avenue where locals grill fresh lobster, fish, and plantain at open-air tables for a fraction of restaurant prices.
