The pick-up will be at 6.15am and we will take you to the Itabaca Canal to board the yacht. The trip to Bartolomé will last approximately 2.5 hours. Bartolomé has the most beautiful and photographed landscapes of the archipelago. The path is made of wood and you will have to climb to the top of this inactive volcano. From there, you will be surprised with this spectacular landscape and, after reaching the top of the wooden stairs, you will feel that it has been worthwhile. The main attraction of the island is the Pinnacle Rock. It is a great lava formation that time has been eroding. Bartolomé has two beautiful half-moon beaches with golden sands that invite you to sunbathe or snorkel around the lava formations. Do not be surprised if you discover Galapagos penguins or sea turtles swimming in the shallows.

This trip will include an unforgettable snorkelling experience with a very high chance of seeing marine turtles, sea lions, rays, white tip sharks and reef fish in crystal clear water. On occasion, you may even see some penguins! While snorkelling is the main activity, you’ll also be able to do some fishing during this trip if conditions allow it and if everyone on board wants to participate in this activity.

We are Ninfa Tour, a local Galapagos tour operator able to offer you local prices (the same as if you buy it in town). We are proud to have been running tours for 40 years and have delivered tours to over 100,000 happy customers!
