Bartolome is a beautiful island with an iconic pinnacle, accessible through a picturesque walk and a 395-step climb to reach the summit, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of the island and pinnacle. The walk also features small lava tunnels created by the last eruption, with endemic vegetation like lava cacti and tiquilla plants, and Darwin's finches.

Activity options vary depending on destination and operator. Activity level is determined by the range and intensity of activities you choose to participate in. Discuss with your Trip Planner which options are best for you.
The journey will begin at the meeting place. Heading towards Bartolome Island, which is located northwest of Santa Cruz and is known for its famous pinnacle. Here you will have the opportunity to see one of the most beautiful landscapes of the Galapagos Islands while learning about the volcanic origins of the Islands. Have a dry landing as you arrive at Bartolome.
Then, begin the walk along a path that will take you to the top of the island. The 395 steps will end with a spectacular panoramic view of the island and its pinnacle, being the moment to take that stunning photo of your trip. Observe small lava tunnels from the last eruption during the walk. Here, endemic vegetation grows, such as lava cacti and tiquilla plants, generally surrounded by Darwin's finches.
Pinnacle Rock was formed by volcanic ash. After being impressed by the view from this point, enjoy a zodiac ride along the coast. Then, with some luck, you will see the only tropical penguin and the second smallest in the world, the penguin from Galapagos.
After a breathtaking experience in Bartolome, enjoy a succulent lunch onboard the Galaxy Daily. Then, head towards Sullivan Bay, where you will enjoy the marine fauna of the Galapagos while you snorkel. Sullivan Bay is one of the most beautiful places in the Galapagos to snorkel due to its crystal-clear waters!

This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.
Kassandra is knowledgeable, efficient and very pleasant to work with.

Claudia does an excellent job of communicating. HOWEVER…you paperwork requirements are constipated — a real impediment to doing business. Fire the lawyers or accountants over that.
