DAY 1: TUESDAY
AM: ARRIVE TO BALTRA ISLAND AIRPORT
You’ll need to rise early this morning to catch your flight to the Galapagos. For this itinerary you will be landing on the island of Baltra.
After passing through Galapagos National Park inspection your National Park Guide will be there to greet you, holding a sign with the name of your
yacht. Your guide will accompany you on the short bus ride to the waterfront.
During WWII the island of Baltra was a US Air Force base and one can still see the remnants of the old foundations left behind from that era. We transfer via panga dinghy to the waiting Grace. The crew will see that your luggage is transferred to your cabin.
At the dock we board a dinghy (panga) to make the short crossing to Grace.
You’ll have time to settle into your new home for the week before assembling to review safety procedures and coming events with your Galapagos National Park Guide. While this is taking place the Grace will start her engines and set off into the archipelago.

PM: SANTA CRUZ ISLAND: BACHAS BEACH
At the north end of Santa Cruz Island is Las Bachas, comprised of two sandy white-coral beaches that is are major egg-laying sites for sea turtles.
There are other explanations of how the location got its name having to do with indentations left in the sand by both egg laying sea turtles and their departing hatchlings, but we will go with the Park’s We go ashore the white sandy beach and are greeted by patrolling bluefooted boobies. A brief walk inland takes us to a lagoon where pink flamingos are often found along with great blue herons, common stilts, brown noddys, white-cheek pintail ducks and migratory birds. Snorkeling today is from the beach and you can also enjoy a swim in these waters, which are typically warmer than in other places in the Galapagos.
