Explore Eastern & Central Galapagos: 8 Days of Wildlife and Island Wonders
Discover the eastern and central Galapagos on an eight-day, seven-night voyage aboard Galaxy Stella, an exclusive first-class boutique yacht limited to just 12 guests. The combined C+A itinerary links Santa Cruz, North Seymour, Santa Fe, South Plaza, Genovesa, San Cristobal, Española, and Floreana, creating a varied journey through birdwatching areas, beaches, volcanic scenery, snorkeling locations, and wildlife-rich island environments. Genovesa offers the opportunity to encounter red-footed boobies, while Española and Floreana add further wildlife and coastal exploration to the route. Throughout the cruise, an expert bilingual Galapagos National Park Naturalist Guide leads the excursions, while life onboard includes sea-view cabins with private en-suite bathrooms, panoramic windows, gourmet dining, a sun deck Jacuzzi, an outdoor BBQ area, and high-speed Starlink Wi-Fi.

Day by day

Day 1: Baltra Arrival and North Seymour Exploration
Your Galaxy Stella voyage begins with arrival at Baltra Airport on Santa Cruz Island. After arrival formalities, the first scheduled excursion takes place in the afternoon at North Seymour Island. The source highlights this destination for its colonies of blue-footed boobies and frigatebirds, making the first day a strong introduction to the birdlife of the Galapagos. Following the excursion, guests return to the intimate surroundings of Galaxy Stella, where the yacht's maximum capacity of 12 guests creates a more private setting for the journey ahead. Lunch and dinner are included on this opening day.
Day 2: Santa Fe and South Plaza
Day two follows the detailed schedule with a morning visit to Santa Fe Island and an afternoon excursion to South Plaza. These two destinations form the stated AM and PM program for the day. The source's heading separately refers to Genovesa Island, El Barranco, Prince Philip's Steps, Darwin Bay, and red-footed booby spotting, but those locations do not correspond with the detailed schedule directly beneath it. To preserve the supplied itinerary as accurately as possible, this version retains Santa Fe in the morning and South Plaza in the afternoon without relocating the activities described elsewhere. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included.
Day 3: Genovesa: Barranco and Darwin Bay
Day 4: Santa Cruz Highlands and Bachas Beach
Day 5: Kicker Rock and Lobos Island
Day 6: Española Island: Suarez Point and Gardner Bay
Day 7: Floreana: Cormorant Point and Post Office Bay
Day 8: Charles Darwin Station and Departure from Baltra
