Trip to the Galapagos with Midland Travel.
Ship: Santa Cruz
Detailed Itinerary: (copied from
Wednesday
Baltra Island/North Seymour Island
We arrive by plane at Baltra Island and transfer to the dock to board the M/V Santa Cruz where we receive our welcome introductory briefing, boat drill and lunch.
North Seymour Island
This is a great introductory site to the islands and their wildlife, full of bird colonies of blue footed boobies, two species of frigate birds, swallow tailed gulls, as well as sea lions and marine iguanas.
Thursday
Punta Vicente Roca (Isabela Island)/Punta Espinoza (Fernandina Island)
After breakfast, we explore the coast by panga, while our naturalist guide explains the dramatic geology of the area, nesting place for a Galápagos highlight: flightless cormorants. Depending on weather conditions, we can snorkel along the cliffs of this area rich in marine life, seasonally-visited by green sea turtles and oceanic sun fish (Mola mola).
Punta Espinoza (Fernandina Island)
The afternoon is dedicated to exploring the youngest island of the archipelago, Fernandina, which, having no introduced mammals, boasts a very unique environment with a very high density of marine iguanas, who share their space with sea lions, Sally light-foot crabs, hawks, penguins and the flightless cormorants.
Friday
Tagus Cove/Urbina Bay (Isabela Island)
After breakfast, we land at this cove on the northwest of Isabela. It provided a favourite anchorage for pirates and whalers over the centuries. An uphill hike takes guests to the rim of a crater, Darwin lake, filled with salt water and to a dramatic viewpoint. After our walk, we take a panga ride to spot local wildlife, with the possibility of swimming or snorkelling.
Urbina Bay (Isabela Island)
After lunch we disembark at Urbina Bay, the fascinating result of an uplifting of the ocean floor in 1954. Here we can admire corals, shells and many other calcareous organisms exposed above water. First we enjoy a snorkel from the beach, with the chance of swimming with flightless cormorants. This are is also home to a large and very colourful Galápagos land iguanas, and occasionally to giant tortoises. We return back on board for our expedition plan for Saturday and dinner.
Saturday
Puerto Ayora and the Charles Darwin Research Station (Santa Cruz Island)
In the morning, we disembark (dry landing) for our visit to the Charles Darwin Research Station's giant tortoise Breeding Centre within an impressive giant prickly-pear cactus forest home to many land birds. These are the headquarters of scientific investigation, conservation and the National Park administration. Following our visit, we board our transport to enjoy lunch in the cooler highlands of Santa Cruz Island, a completely different ecosystem.
Santa Cruz Island
We have several options available (mountain biking, kayaking in Tortuga Bay, hiking) for the afternoon, which can be discussed in advance with your Expedition Leader. At the end of the afternoon's activities, we return to Puerto Ayora and embark on the Santa Cruz.
Sunday
Post Office Bay / Champion Islet and Cormorant Point (Floreana Island)
A short walk leads us to the historic barrel where postcards are traditionally left for guests from other vessels to hand-deliver to their destinations. Near Post Office Bay, we explore the north shore of Floreana along narrow channels teeming with life. We then head back on board for lunch.
Champion Islet and Cormorant Point (Floreana Island)
Following lunch and a siesta, we take to the pangas and glass-bottom boat to explore the underwater wonders around Champion Islet, an extinct shield volcano, regarded as one of the best snorkelling spots in the archipelago. From there, it's on to Cormorant Point, beginning with a wet landing on the olivine-crystal beach for an easy walk that includes a brackish water lagoon where bird species such as greater flamingos, pintail ducks, common stilts, herons, sandpipers, and others gather. We continue our walk over to a white-sand beach, where sea turtles emerge from the sea at night to nest (from December to May).
Monday
Baltra Island
We disembark at Baltra Island in order to transfer to the airport to take the flight back to the mainland.

BrownTales: Valentine's Day
Our BrownTales crew flew south of Bogota, Colombia to see UPS's role in getting Valentine's Day flowers to your front door.
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and UPS is doing its part to ensure your sweetheart receives the freshest flowers possible. By Feb. 14, UPS expects to move more than 89 million fresh flowers from Bogota, Colombia, and Quito, Ecuador, through its Miami air hub. That’s enough flowers to fill 72 of our Boeing 767s. In anticipation of seasonal demand, UPS is adding 50 additional flights to and from Colombia and Ecuador.
“We’ve seen a tremendous increase in the number of flowers we ship from Colombia and Ecuador due to the great service that we’re delivering to our customers,” said UPS General Director of the Andean Countries Francisco Ricaurte.
Colombia and Ecuador are ideal locations for flowers to be grown due to the temperate year-round climate. Flowers are harvested, hydrated, packed in bunches and placed in coolers until refrigerated trucks moves them to the UPS gateway. The flowers are palletized and moved onto temperature-controlled aircraft, where they are flown to Miami.
Once in the U.S., the flowers are placed in UPS’s 27,000 square foot cooler – which is roughly the size of five basketball courts. The boxes are then cleared by customs and either picked up by local importers or shipped onto the rest of the country though Worldport. The entire process harvesting the flowers at the farm to delivering them to the importer takes an average of 24 to 48 hours.
