San Cristóbal Island, a historic gateway to the Galápagos, offers a unique blend of natural beauty and rich culture. Must-do experiences include savoring local dishes like ceviche de mero and visiting the stunning Las Tintoreras Islet. The best time to visit is during the dry season from June to November, when the weather is cooler and wildlife is particularly active.
Kicker Rock, or "Leon Dormido," in the Galápagos Islands is a stunning natural formation known for its unique geological features and vibrant marine life. A must-do experience includes snorkeling around the rock to witness the diverse underwater ecosystem. The best time to visit is during the dry season from June to December, when the weather is cooler and wildlife is abundant.
Bartolomé Island is the Galápagos' most iconic landscape—a volcanic moonscape crowned by Pinnacle Rock, where equatorial penguins swim in turquoise waters and the summit trail reveals 360-degree views of the archipelago. Must-dos include the boardwalk summit hike and snorkeling with penguins, reef sharks, and sea turtles. Both seasons offer excellent wildlife; the cool season (Jun–Dec) brings the most active penguin encounters.
Buccaneer Cove, Santiago, Ecuador, delivers South America's irresistible combination of dramatic landscapes, vibrant culture, and extraordinary biodiversity. Essential experiences include exploring local markets, tasting the distinctive regional cuisine, and venturing into the surrounding natural environments. Best visited December through April, during the dry season when skies are clearest and seas are calmest. Cruise lines including Silversea feature this port on their most compelling itineraries. Whether you have a few hours or a full day, the port rewards exploration at every pace and in every direction.
Punta Vicente Roca on Isabela Island is a stunning marine destination rich in history and natural beauty. Must-do experiences include snorkeling in the vibrant underwater ecosystems and savoring local dishes like ceviche de mero. The best season to visit is during the dry season from June to December, when wildlife is most active and the weather is pleasantly mild.
Punta Espinoza on Fernandina Island is the Galápagos at its most pristine — a never-colonised volcanic landscape teeming with thousands of marine iguanas, flightless cormorants, and Galápagos penguins. Must-dos include walking the lava-rock trail through iguana colonies and snorkelling the nutrient-rich waters alongside marine iguanas and sea lions. June through November brings the richest marine life during the cooler garúa season.
Tagus Cove is bordered by a steep rocky coastline and has for centuries offered shelter for ships and yachts. The cove is named after the British frigate HMS Tagus visiting the Galapagos in 1814. Already by the 1830s other ships had their visits recorded by painting or scratching their name onto the rocks. On approach Galapagos Penguins and Flightless Cormorants –both birds mainly found on Isabela’s west coast and neighboring Fernandina- are often seen. View less From the landing a trail through an incense tree forest leads past Darwin Lake to a viewpoint on top of a splatter cone. During the hike several land birds including Medium Ground-Finches, Galapagos Hawks, Yellow Warblers as well as Large-billed and Vermilion Flycatchers are often present. Brown Noddies and Blue-footed Boobies prefer the rocks along the shore.
Elizabeth Bay on Isabela Island is a mangrove-fringed marine sanctuary in the Galápagos, explored exclusively by panga through crystal-clear channels teeming with sea turtles, rays, penguins, and juvenile sharks. Must-dos include drifting through the red mangrove forest and spotting flightless cormorants on the surrounding islets. June through November brings peak marine activity, while December through May offers calmer conditions.
Post Office Bay on Floreana Island in the Galápagos is home to the world's oldest informal postal system, where since the eighteenth century travellers have exchanged unstamped letters via a weathered wooden barrel on a volcanic shore. Visitors should participate in the timeless postcard exchange ritual and snorkel the pristine waters of nearby Champion Islet alongside sea lions and marine turtles. The warmest and calmest season runs from December through May, coinciding with green turtle nesting and ideal conditions for expedition landings.
Champion Islet is considered one of the best snorkeling sites in the entire archipelago.
Punta Cormorant is a volcanic headland on Floreana Island in the Galápagos, celebrated for its olivine-crystal beach, a brackish lagoon where greater flamingos feed in pink-tinged shallows, and Flour Beach, where Pacific green sea turtles nest. Visitors should not miss the flamingo lagoon walk at dawn and the short trail to the turtle-nesting beach. The warm-wet season from January to May brings the richest wildlife activity — flamingo numbers peak, turtle hatchlings emerge, and the islands are at their greenest — though the dry season from June to November offers calmer seas and exceptional snorkelling visibility.
The Santa Cruz Highlands are the lush, misty interior of the Galápagos' most populated island, where wild giant tortoises roam freely through grasslands and scalesia forest above the arid coast. Must-dos include encountering giant tortoises at Rancho El Chato, visiting the Charles Darwin Research Station, and exploring volcanic lava tunnels. Visit June to December for the greenest landscapes and most active tortoises.
Silver Origin will anchor in front of Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz, where the prestigious Charles Darwin Research Station is located. The station also houses the Fausto Llerena Breeding Center for giant tortoises and land iguanas where guides interpret the centre’s captive breeding and reintroduction programs. In addition to these star species, throughout the station there are huge prickly pear cactus trees being fed upon by the pretty Galapagos Cactus Finch. To round out the stay in Puerto Ayora, enjoy free time in town where local artists have created charming art galleries and corner cafés.
Cerro Dragón’s land iguanas once played an important part in a conservation program headed by the Charles Darwin Foundation and the Galapagos National Park. When the reptiles’ numbers declined in the 1970s, some animals were taken to breed in captivity and were released back into undeveloped areas. Today, it is an honor to see the success of this program firsthand at Cerro Dragón. Walk inland on a trail past small saltwater lagoons that periodically feature flamingos, to see the reintroduced animals. In a periodic local phenomenon, during rainier times the salinity in the lagoons drops with the inflow of freshwater. As a consequence crustacean populations decline, which in turn means the shorebirds become scarce.
Isla Guy Fawkes, Ecuador, delivers South America's irresistible combination of dramatic landscapes, vibrant culture, and extraordinary biodiversity. Essential experiences include exploring local markets, tasting the distinctive regional cuisine, and venturing into the surrounding natural environments. Best visited year-round, though the drier months from May to October tend to offer the most comfortable conditions. Cruise lines including Silversea feature this port on their most compelling itineraries. Whether you have a few hours or a full day, the port rewards exploration at every pace and in every direction.
