The Experience

The full circle of San Cristóbal.

The Tour 360° is the most complete expedition we offer from San Cristóbal — a full-day journey that traces the entire coastline of the island from north to south (or south to north, depending on conditions and assigned itineraries).

It combines artisanal fishing, two distinct snorkeling sessions, a coastal hike, wildlife observation, and a long lunch stop on a quiet beach — all aboard Andry II, with a certified bilingual naturalist guide who has grown up on these waters.

At a glance
  • Two snorkeling sessions
  • Coastal hike at Rosa Blanca

A Day Aboard

The itinerary.

An unhurried rhythm — sail, swim, eat, observe, repeat. Itineraries may adjust slightly based on sea conditions and Galápagos National Park rotation.

  1. 7:00 AM

    Meeting & initial navigation

    We meet at our operations office at 7:00 AM. From there we sail for 40 minutes to 1 hour toward Rosa Blanca Bay — the first wild stop of the day.

  2. Morning

    Rosa Blanca: hike & first snorkeling

    We disembark at Rosa Blanca for a short coastal hike followed by our first snorkeling session. Back on board, you are welcomed with drinks and snacks while we recover.

  3. Late morning

    North coast & lunch at Sardina Bay

    We sail along the north coast for around an hour, observing seabirds and marine life. We then anchor in Sardina Bay for a full lunch stop — about one hour of beach time, swimming and rest.

  4. Afternoon

    León Dormido & Cerro Brujo

    We continue toward León Dormido (Kicker Rock), passing Cerro Brujo and framing the famous monolith through its natural arch. Around one hour of navigation brings us to the rock itself, where we spend 40 minutes to an hour observing seabirds and snorkeling in deep blue water.

  5. Late afternoon

    Artisanal fishing on the way

    Throughout the return, we have the chance to try artisanal fishing — and, depending on the day's catch, prepare local Galápagos dishes right on board.

  6. Sunset

    Return to Puerto Baquerizo Moreno

    We sail back to Puerto Baquerizo Moreno — approximately one hour of golden-hour navigation along San Cristóbal's coastline.
