Endemic Itineraries explained

Onboard this deluxe luxury catamaran, you will have 6 itineraries to choose from:

Endemic 4-day D Itinerary

The 4-day D itinerary visits Bartholomew island, here you can catch the perfect view of Pinnacle Rock, and take the quintessential picture of the Galapagos Islands

You will also visit Floreana Island which is one of my favorite islands in the Galapagos. Here you get to learn a bit about Galapagos History and you will go snorkeling at the Devil´s Crown – the best snorkeling site in the Galapagos Islands.

Endemic 5-day C Itinerary

The 5-day C itinerary will take you to San Cristobal island with its surrounding highlights which include:

• Kicker Rock: Great landscapes and better snorkeling
• Dragon Hill: Beautiful trek and a chance to spot all 3 types of boobies
• Witch Hill: Pristine beach with tons of wildlife and a chance to kayak
• Lobos Island: Swim with sea lions and get to spot Nazca boobies

On top of all this, you finish your Galapagos journey with a visit to Española island where you get to swim with sea lions and if you are lucky you will get a chance to watch the albatross taking off a cliff…truly magnificent!

Endemic 6-day A&B Itineraries

The 6-day E itinerary is a longer version of the 4-day D itinerary which adds a visit to the Northern island of Genovesa. The 6-day F itinerary is a shorter version of the 8-day A itinerary, it takes out the visit to Genovesa Island. I think it’s a good option for travelers that want to visit the Western Islands of the Galapagos archipelago but don’t have a full week to spare.

Thinking out-loud…

I’ve always thought that 4 and 5 day itineraries were too short and 8-day itineraries a bit too long, so having two 6-day options is great IMHO.

Endemic 8-day B Itinerary

The 8- day B itinerary combines both the 4 and 5-day itineraries into one week-long itinerary visiting plenty of Galapagos highlights.

Endemic 8-day A Itinerary

The 8- day A itinerary visits the sought after Western Islands in style! You get to visit Isabela and Fernandina islands, where you will find abundant wildlife and a guaranteed superb experience. On top of all this, you finish your Galapagos journey with a visit to Genovesa island, aka ¨bird island¨. Here you will get a chance to spot all 3 types of boobies and a plethora of birdlife.

Connoisseur Tip:

After analyzing all six itineraries aboard the Endemic, I can easily say that the very best itinerary they have is the week-long A itinerary. This itinerary will take you to the sought after Western Islands of Isabela and Fernandina, and up north to Genovesa Island. Highly recommended!

If you don’t have a week to spend in the Galapagos, a 6-day itinerary will provide a great and complete experience in the archipelago.
