M/Y Coral I & II Itinerary D South (Wed - Sun ) 5 days / 4 nights DAY 1: Wednesday - San Cristobal Airport Departure from Quito or Guayaquil to San Cristobal (2 1/2 hours flight). Arriving in Galapagos, passengers are picked up at the airport by our naturalist guides and taken to the pier to board the M/Y Coral I or M/Y Coral II. PM Interpretation Center & Tijeretas Hill (San Cristobal Island) Dry landing. San Cristobal is the home of the capital town of the Galapagos Province, Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. Passengers visit the interpretation center, which is an excellent place to learn about the nature and history of the islands, displaying information of Galapagos volcanic origins, their remoteness from the continent, ocean currents, climate, arrival of the original species, among other points of interest. The human interaction is also showcased, chronologically narrating the most significant events about the colonization of the islands. Later on, a high-intensity hike can be done to visit Tijeretas Hill, a beautiful landscapes ending with a magnificent view of a nearby large frigate bird colony. If there is enough time, a town visit can be planned. / intermediate Type of terrain: flat /stairs Duration: 1-hour visit / 1-hour walk DAY 2: Thursday - Cerro Brujo (San Cristobal Island) Wet landing. Cerro Brujo is an eroding tuff cone that is composed of AA lava formations; it is close to a beautiful white sandy beach which is 3 / 8

great for snorkeling and sunbathing. Nearby a lagoon ideal for migratory bird species can be seen, including black-necked stilts, ruddy turnstones, whimbrels, sandpiper, and white- cheeked Pintails. Cerro Brujo offers beautiful views of Kicker Rock, an islet in the adjacent southern coast of San Cristobal. Type of terrain: sandy Duration: 1-hour walk / 1-hour snorkeling PM Pitt Point & Islet (San Cristobal Island) Wet landing followed by a high-intensity hike on rocky terrain. The trail includes a 90 meters long, olivine beach and a path that climbs to the top of a volcanic tuff, through several magnificent viewpoints. This is probably the only site where the three booby species of the Galapagos can be seen together, as well as, two species of frigate birds and a sea lion colony. It is also excellent for dinghy rides and snorkeling, where a good range of seabirds can be observed. Difficulty level: difficult Type of terrain: rocky Duration: 2½-hour walk/ 40-minutes snorkeling or kayaking DAY 3: Friday - Suarez Point (Espanola Island) Dry landing. An island of geological interest, being one of the oldest in Galapagos, it has a high percentage of endemism due to its isolation from the rest of the islands. Due to the great variety of wildlife, this is one of the most attractive spots in the Galapagos. Here, it is possible to explore volcanic formations and see large colonies of sea lion and seabirds including the Española mockingbird, Nazca boobies, and the spectacular red-billed tropicbirds. Here, the singular marine iguanas have a turquoise color with reddish parts during the breeding season, lava lizards, and the colorful Sally lightfoot crabs. A somewhat lengthy hike brings visitors to nesting grounds that sometimes overlap the trail. Other birdwatchers favorites include the Galapagos dove, the Galapagos hawk, swallow-tailed gulls and the world s largest colony of waved albatross, an unequivocal highlight during mating season (April-December). Admire the island s dramatic backdrop, featuring the famous Soplador, a seaward blowhole that shoots water up to 23 m. (75 ft.) into the air. Difficulty level: difficult Type of terrain: rocky ground Duration: 2½-hours walk PM Gardner Bay, Osborn or Gardner Islets (Espanola Island) Wet landing. Gardner Bay is a beautiful white coral sandy beach guarded by a colony of sea Lions. Here, there are no trails, so visitors stay along the shore, spotting the Galapagos hawk, the American oystercatcher, the Galapagos dove, hood mockingbirds, yellow warblers, lava lizards, marine iguanas, and three species of Darwin finches, cacti finch (Geospizafuliginosa), the small ground finch (Geospizafuliginosa) and the warbler finch (Certhideaolivacea). Swimming and snorkeling offer a great variety of Galapagos marine wildlife: king angelfish, creole fish, damsel fish and parrot fish. Type of terrain: sandy Duration: 1-hours walk / 1-hours snorkeling DAY 4: Saturday Cormorant Point/ Devil s Crown/Champion (Floreana Island) Wet landing, on an olivine green, sanded beach. We hike from the black mangrove beds to a brackish lagoon, which usually holds one of the largest flamingo populations in the Galapagos. This island features some endemic plants such as Scalesia villosa, white and black mangrove, and holy stick. The trail continues to a beautiful white sandy beach, one of the most important nesting sites of Green Pacific Sea Turtles. It is important to avoid walking in the water due to the Sting Rays that may be hiding in the sand, which can be dangerous if accidentally stepped on. From the beach, one can spot sea turtles, blue-footed boobies plunging into the water, and small reef sharks floating along the shoreline in the search for food. This coral-sand beach marks the end of our trail, and we head back to the olivine beach we landed on, to swim or snorkel amongst sea turtles, reef fish, sea lions and, on a good day, white-tipped reef sharks. A small colony of penguins resides on Floreana and can sometimes be observed as well. Type of terrain: sandy & flat Duration: 1-hour walk / 1-hour snorkeling PM Post Office (Floreana Island) Wet landing. Located on the north side of Floreana, the bay was named because in 1793 Captain James Colnett installed a wooden barrel which served as an informal post office for sailors passing through, who would take letters with them back to their destinations. Today, visitors continue the tradition by placing unstamped postcards inside the barrel, hoping that some other traveler, going to the letter destination, will take it back for free. The chances are that the letter posted can take a long time to arrive at its destination. However, there have been cases where it has arrived before the sender. We may also encounter Darwin s finches, Yellow Warbler and Lava Lizards. Great snorkeling opportunities with Green Pacific Sea Turtles. As well, the island is best known for its endemic vegetation: Scalesia villosa, Lecocarpus Pinnatifidus, and the Galapagos Milkwort. Snorkelers can practice on the main beach among playful sea lions. Type of terrain: sandy Duration: 30-minute walk / 1-hour snorkeling DAY 5: Sunday - Highlands Tortoise Reserve (Santa Cruz Island) Dry landing. In the mountains of Galapagos is possible to admire different kind of birds, such as: tree and ground finches, vermillion flycatchers, paint-billed crakes, yellow warblers, and cattle egrets (usually standing on the tortoises shell). The journey to the reserve offers great opportunities to see the contrasts that the island offers in reference to the variety of ecosystems. The road goes from the coast through the agricultural zone and straight up to the dense humid forests. Often, Galapagos Giant Tortoises are also seen on the way, wandering through pastures in the paddocks. This spot is a birdwatchers haven since almost every land bird present on the island lives or migrates here. Type of terrain: flat & muddy (depending on season) Duration: 45-minute drive / 1 ½-hour walk Baltra Island Airport After the visit, passengers will be transferred to the airport for their return flight to Guayaquil or Quito. 4 / 8

You will be part of a group (up to 16 people) named: albatross, boobies, cormorants, dolphins or other. Depending on the itinerary, you will also alternate these activities with swimming on colorful sand beaches, watching sea lions on a rocky shore, taking a tour of the Darwin Research Station, and souvenir shopping.

Go Galapagos - KleinTours is not liable for accidents at excursions on water sports, children are under parent s responsibility. Level of difficulty in hiking: We have divided the levels of difficulty in three groups: 1) Easy: Flat terrain without any climbing. The surface can be rocky, though usually it means sand or dirt. The hike doesn t last more than one hour. 2) Intermediate: Flat terrain or with some slope. The surface is mostly rocky and/or slippery. The hike lasts about one and a half hours. 3) Difficult: A hike on steep surfaces, mostly comprised of rocks and broken up lava flows. The hikes usually last between two and three hours. Please note: The degree of difficulty gives a general idea of what to expect. Most hikes are all right for the majority of people and the degree of difficulty should not be a deterrent to taking part in them. Only if you have some major handicap you should consider staying aboard for the hardest hikes. Please consult your guide if you have any questions.
