Agressor I & II – 8 days

Day 1 – Baltra Island & Santa Cruz Island
AM: Arrival in Baltra airport and transfer to the boat. Briefing on board about the boat and the island.
PM: Puerto Ayora is the economic centre of the Galápagos Islands with many restaurants, souvenir shops, discotheques, bars, internet coffee shops and other stores. A good way to wind down after a Galápagos Islands cruise is to take a stroll through the town of Puerto Ayora. The bay is a good location to spot brown pelicans, golden rays, marine iguanas, herons, lava gulls, frigate birds, Galápagos sea lions, and large numbers of blue-footed boobies

Day 2 – Santa Cruz Island & Bartholomew Island
AM: Carrion Point creates a sheltered lagoon with beautiful, turquoise water. During this visit you can snorkel and see a variety of fish, rays and perhaps the harmless white-tip reef sharks. The point is on the north coast of Santa Cruz Island at the entrance of Channel of Itabaca.
PM: Bartolome is the most photographed island in the Archipelago, and its pictures are the most shown next to Galapagos’ name. In fact, a walk through an unusual lava landscape, and then up some wooden stairs, will take you to the top, from where the view is more spectacular than what the images suggest.

Day 3 – Wolf Island
AM/PM:With a number of protected anchorages, a variety of dive sites and drift dives with large animals it is no wonder this area has topped the list of favorite sites. Due to the warmer waters here you will find many fish found nowhere else. Large pelagic fish like whale sharks, Galápagos sharks, black-blotched stingrays, spotted eagle rays have also been seen here. Hammerheads swim in a never ending parade across the reef.

Day 4 – Darwin Island & Wolf Island
AM: As it is the furthest north of the Islands, the Humboldt Current has little effect here and the waters are warmer than in the south; as such there are more corals here than the other Islands. The quality can be overwhelming. Darwin’s Arch sits just above the surface on an underwater plateau and the steep barnacle covered walls drop off to the deeper ocean. The water it is thick with hammerheads and on the ridge side there are large schools of fish.

Large pelagic fish like whale sharks, Galápagos sharks, black-blotched stingrays, spotted eagle rays have also been seen here. Hammerheads swim in a never ending parade across the reef.

Day 5 – Isabela Island & Wolf Island
AM:Cape Marshall is a very special dive, where lava from the Wolf volcano falls into the ocean. This forms a steep slope with boulders and lava ridges. It is a good place for mantas. The maximum diving depth is around 1600m / 5249.3ft and is suitable for advanced divers. The average visibility is 10-20 meters. Reef, wall and drift dives are possible.

Day 6 – Fernandina Island & Isabela Island
AM: Cape Douglas is known for offering one of the best drift dives among the area and is best spot for spotting marine iguanas and penguins. With an average visibility of 10-20 meters and a maximum diving depth of 100 m or 328 feet, Cape Douglas is indeed one of the most exciting drift dive spots in the island.
PM:Here the remnants of an ancient volcano form two turquoise coves with a bay well protected from the ocean swells. The spot is a popular anchorage from which to explore the cliffs, where masked and blue-footed boobies perch while flightless cormorants inhabit the shoreline. The upwelling of coldwater currents in this part of the Galápagos give rise to an abundance of marine life, which make Punta Vicente Roca one of the archipelago’s sough after dive spots.

 

Day 7 – Santiago Island & Santa Cruz Island
AM: Cousin’s Rock is a wall dive recommended for advanced and expert divers. With strong currents it is a great site for seeing a forest of black juvenile corals, Galápagos seahorses, octopuses, hammerheads, Galápagos sharks, green sea Tortoises, eagle rays, schools of barracudas and a great variety of tropical fish. This makes Cousins Rock one of the best places to dive.
PM: The highlands are located in the northern part of the island and can reach elevations up to 1500 meters. On a journey into the higher elevations of Santa Cruz you will experience all seven different vegetation zones. The vegetation here is abundant and lush and the weather moist.
The Charles Darwin Research Station is an international not-for-profit organization that provides scientific research, technical information and assistance to ensure the proper preservation of the Galápagos Islands. Visitors can learn about natural history, issues concerning the islands, and see the tortoise breeding and rearing project at work.

Day 8 – Baltra Island
AM: Transfer to the Airport.
