Spend an extra four days relishing the beauty of the Galápagos Islands.
Relax in a peaceful and eco-friendly retreat that is set right on the beachfront.
Unwind in the pool and spa, and enjoy the hotel’s optional excursions.
Day 1: From Baltra Island to Santa Cruz Island
After disembarkation on Baltra Island, a private transfer will take you to Santa Cruz Island—the main hub of the Galápagos archipelago.
Santa Cruz is home to the largest town in the Galápagos: Puerto Ayora. On this island, you can spot giant tortoises, land and marine iguanas, and a variety of bird life.
Your home for the next few days will be the Finch Bay Galápagos Hotel, which is nestled beside a tranquil beachfront near Puerto Ayora.
Days 2–3: Finch Bay Galápagos Hotel
You’ll spend the next two days at your leisure enjoying the amenities of your hotel, which has its own swimming pool and spa—perfect for relaxation after your action-packed cruise. The hotel’s Finch Bay Galápagos Gourmet Restaurant is a culinary highlight that is also not to be missed.
If you want to explore more of the Galápagos archipelago, the hotel offers a variety of excursions, such as day tours aboard their private Sea Lion yacht, hikes, bicycling, and kayaking (bookable at the hotel). You might also like to visit nearby Puerto Ayora; it’s a laid-back town with a distinctly Caribbean vibe that has plenty of boutiques, cafés, and restaurants.
Day 4: From Santa Cruz Island to Baltra Island, flight to Guayaquil or Quito
After a sumptuous breakfast, you’ll be transferred to the airport on nearby Baltra Island, where your Post-Program comes to an end. From here, you’ll fly to Guayaquil or Quito and connect to your international flight, or perhaps you may like to spend some more time on Ecuador’s mainland.
