Cruises visiting Baltra Island

Baltra is less a destination than the gateway to the Galápagos—and that is precisely its appeal. From the airport or cruise pier, cross the Itabaca Channel by ferry to Santa Cruz. There, giant tortoises, volcanic terrain and Darwin’s legacy reward the first steps ashore. Baltra itself is spare and sun-baked, shaped by its airfield and wartime past. Think of it as the threshold: the wildlife-rich islands begin just beyond.
