About Isabela Island Hopper
Slow-travel the Galapagos the smart way with our 5-day Isabela Island Hopper. Start on Santa Cruz, where green highlands and giant tortoises set the tone, then sail to one of the famed uninhabited isles for a day of wildlife and views that feel otherworldly. Continue to laid-back Isabela and bike the Wall of Tears, meet young tortoises at the breeding center, and wander the quiet paths of the wetlands. Snorkel with sea lions and reef fish at Tintoreras, and choose your big adventure next day, either drifting through crystal arches at Los Tuneles with rays and turtles, or hiking the vast caldera of Sierra Negra for panoramic lava landscapes. Nights are spent steps from the beach, with time to swim, rest, and watch pastel sunsets. Small groups, naturalist guides, clean logistics, and confirmed departures keep everything smooth, while included gear and clear briefings make each outing simple and safe. Finish back on Santa Cruz ready for your flight home, full of easygoing island energy.

Why choose the Isabela Island Hopper?
Because it blends the best of Galapagos in five effortless days—iconic wildlife, two contrasting islands, and options that fit your style. Start on Santa Cruz for giant tortoises, lush highlands, and a yacht day to an uninhabited island like Bartolome or North Seymour, where blue-footed boobies, sea lions, and sweeping viewpoints deliver classic “wow” moments. Then slow down on Isabela: bike the historic Wall of Tears, meet young tortoises at the breeding center, stroll quiet wetlands, and snorkel calm coves at Tintoreras with reef fish and turtles. Choose your “big day” next: snorkel the lava arches of Los Tuneles or hike the vast Sierra Negra caldera. With small groups, certified naturalist guides, included snorkeling gear, confirmed logistics, and beachfront free time built in, you get meaningful encounters without rush. If you want variety, flexibility, and smooth planning at a fair price, this is the smart, soul-soothing way to experience the islands.
