About this activity

Spend a week exploring the Galápagos' most iconic islands—San Cristobal, Santa Cruz, and Isabela—with a balance of guided excursions and independent time. This itinerary maximizes wildlife encounters and scenic diversity while keeping you in well-appointed hotels, complete with internal flights to minimize travel time.

The Classic Galapagos Islands Hopping Tours are a combination of day tours and time to explore the islands by yourself. In this 7 Day Galapagos tour, you’ll see the highlights of the islands with an English speaking guide. You’ll stay in very comfortable hotels with a private room and bathroom. The tours includes some meals, transportation on and between the islands and the activities mentioned in the tour itinerary. This 7 day Galapagos tour also includes a local flight between Isabela and Baltra to optimize the time.

Highlights

  • ✓Guided day tours with English-speaking naturalists across three major islands
  • ✓Wildlife viewing: giant tortoises, marine iguanas, Darwin finches, and sea lions in their natural habitat
  • ✓Included inter-island flight (Isabela to Baltra) to optimize exploration time
  • ✓Private room and bathroom accommodation in comfortable mid-range to upscale hotels
  • ✓Mix of organized activities and free time for independent exploration

Insider tips

  • ★Book early in shoulder seasons (May–June, September–October) for smaller crowds and better wildlife behavior observation
  • ★Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a rash guard if planning water activities; the equatorial sun and UV reflection off water are intense
  • ★Use free time to visit local markets on Santa Cruz and chat with guides about hidden viewpoints they recommend—many operate unguided trails

Good to know

  • •Meals partially included; budget for some dinners and lunch days with independent activities
  • •Internal flight between islands is included; expect early morning departures to maximize daylight
  • •Sturdy hiking shoes with good grip essential for volcanic terrain and coastal rocks
  • •Walking tours involve uneven ground; moderate fitness recommended (some tours include steep climbs)
