Double Room 

Set an elevation of 9,350 ft (2,850 m), Quito is the highest capital city in the world. The population of this bustling city is a contrasting mix of Ecuadorians sporting sleek business suits and colorful indigenous clothing. These contrasts exemplify the mix of politics, history and culture that define Quito. Founded in the 16th century atop the ruins of an Inca city, Quito is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a premier destination for those visiting Ecuador.

Then you’ll go for a hike through a small forest of prickly pear cacti — an area where iguanas commonly congregate, waiting to eat the prickly pear fruit that falls to the ground.  
  
Next, your hike will take you to a cliff, where you’ll have an incredible view of the ocean below, and enormous schools of fish. This spot is also a good place for bird watching, where you can see swallow-tailed gulls, tropic birds, frigate birds, and pelicans.  
  
After the walk, you’ll head back to the boat and have lunch on board. Then the tour continues to Punta Carrion where you’ll get to go snorkeling. Here you’ll see sea turtles, white tip reef sharks, and tropical fish. Afterward, the boat returns to Puerto Ayora.

North Seymour is a small island in the Galápagos, with significant populations of rare species. While you’re here you can see some of the Galápagos most unusual birds, including the Magnificent Frigate Bird and the blue-footed boobie. These bids both have interesting mating rituals — the Magnificent Frigate Bird inflates a giant red throat sac, and the blue-footed boobie does a seemingly ungainly dance.  
  
North Seymour Island also has a thriving colony of land iguanas. You can see lots of iguanas and sea lions near the shore.  
  
Your craft will continue to the Las Bachas beach, which has white sand and clear, turquoise water. Wade into the water and look down to see a tropical fish swimming in the shallows.

Santa Fe Island

Your group will do some bird watching from the boat, observing swallow-tailed gulls and shearwater waterfowl. As soon as you’re near the shore, you can hop out of the boat and go snorkeling to see sea lions, stingrays, and sea turtles. You’ll also have the chance to do some catch-and-release fishing, casting a line for the chance to pull albacore, wahoo, or swordfish from these protected waters. 

In the afternoon, you’ll stop by the beach called Playa Escondido. Here, you’ll have the chance to do more snorkeling and see more of the land, as well as share a beach with relaxed sea lions who are happy to pose for pictures. Head to shore to observe more animals, like the marine iguanas that loll on the shores. Walk around the rocky island to see the cacti and palo santo trees that offer perches for chattering finches, mockingbirds, and Galápagos doves. By the end of the trip, you’ll have seen a particularly interesting slice of life in the incredibly rare environment of the Galápagos. 

**Note: Your provider will provide wetsuits, but a limited number are available. 

Santa Fe is one of the oldest islands in the Galápagos archipelago. It only covers about 9 square miles (23 sq m), but offers an incredible proliferation of wildlife, both on land and in its surrounding waters. You’ll have plenty of time to observe the animals that live here – this tour begins at 8:00 AM, and lasts around 7 hours, returning to Puerto Ayora at 3:00 PM. It includes a break for lunch on board the yacht.
