Yolita, Galapagos Central & South ex Quito Return

3 Night Cruise sailing from Baltra roundtrip aboard Yolita. Hotel stays pre-cruise in Quito and Puerto Ayora and post-cruise in Quito.

Spend five days exploring the Galápagos Islands aboard the Yolita and enjoy the beaches, history, and wildlife of the central and southern islands. When you want to spend some time underwater, make sure to check out the Devil’s Crown in Floreana, a snorkeller’s paradise and home to some of the most impressive marine life in the Galápagos. Bird lovers will have their hands full, too, with stops at some pretty notable bird-watching spots on Cerro Dragón. When you’re done connecting with the wildlife, get over to Post Office Bay to learn about its history and, of course, to drop off a postcard.

Feel the wind in your hair and smell the salt in the air as you take to the sea, far away from the tourist track, to explore seldom visited islands and commune with remarkable wildlife. While all of our marine adventures are unique, they share the same spirit of exploration. The spirit that propelled legendary explorers like Marco Polo and Ernest Shackleton to keep searching for their personal paradise. Whether you are looking to frolic with sea lions in the Galapagos, sail a private yacht in Greece or commune with thousands of Gentoo Penguins in Antarctica, we can take you there.

At G Adventures, we encourage you to step off the beaten path, embrace the unexpected and immerse yourself in the extraordinary.
