Galapagos Island Cruise aboard Hermes Mega Catamaran Tour Detail Page

Arrive at Baltra Island, gateway to the Galápagos, where volcanic landscapes and vibrant wildlife offer a stunning first glimpse of the archipelago. After landing, transfer to the Hermes Mega Catamaran, the first ultra-luxury cruise in the Galápagos, hosting just 20 guests with all-suite accommodations featuring private balconies, jacuzzis, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Settle into your spacious suite, enjoy a welcome drink, and begin your unforgettable journey. 

After embarkation, cruise toward Santa Cruz Island for your first landing at Bachas Beach, a soft white-sand paradise. Relax by the sea, snorkel in calm waters, or stroll near lagoons where flamingos and marine iguanas gather, all framed by the dazzling Pacific Ocean. 

Today, explore the wonders of Isabela Island. Begin at Tagus Cove, a historic refuge for sailors and pirates, now a favorite for kayaking, snorkeling, and spotting Galápagos penguins and flightless cormorants. Hike uphill to a scenic viewpoint for breathtaking views of Darwin Lake and the volcanic coastline. 

In the afternoon, visit Urbina Bay, where a dramatic uplifted seabed reveals coral remnants now stranded above ground. Walk among giant tortoises and land iguanas, then snorkel along vibrant reefs where rays and sea turtles glide through crystal-clear waters. Witness firsthand the raw, dynamic power of nature that defines the Galápagos. 

Today, visit Espinosa Point on Fernandina Island, the youngest and most untouched of the Galápagos Islands. Walk among vast colonies of marine iguanas, spot flightless cormorants diving for fish, and marvel at endless lava fields that showcase the island’s raw volcanic beauty. 

Later, cruise to Vicente Roca Point off the coast of Isabela Island, a premier snorkeling and diving destination. Explore underwater cliffs teeming with mola molas (sunfish), sea turtles, and vibrant marine life. Above the waves, spot blue-footed boobies, penguins, and dramatic volcanic formations that reveal the wild spirit of the archipelago. 

Discover the historic and scenic shores of Santiago Island. Start at Buccaneer Cove, once a refuge for pirates and whalers, now known for its dramatic cliffs, bustling seabird colonies, and vibrant snorkeling with colorful fish and sea turtles. Kayak or take a panga ride along the sculpted coastline for an adventurous view of the island’s rugged beauty. 

Continue to Egas Point, where striking lava formations, tide pools, and black sand beaches create a dramatic landscape. Watch fur seals resting in shaded grottos and marine iguanas grazing on coastal algae. It’s a day of both geological wonder and unforgettable wildlife encounters.
