Galápagos Crossing: A Rough Ride from Santiago to Santa Cruz

27/3/2025

Over the past 7 days, we’ve been cruising from island to island in the Galápagos. Most of the time, we moved during dinner or overnight while the engines hummed in the background. And no, we didn’t see it all—just the eastern islands. The entire western part of the archipelago will have to wait… a perfect excuse to come back someday.

Some crossings were short, just an hour or two. Others stretched from 7 to 9 hours. And while seasoned sailors might laugh, the sea was rough enough to keep us from editing photos—or even eating soup without a splash.

This shot was taken while crossing from Sullivan Bay (Santiago Island) to Bachas Beach on Santa Cruz. It was a dramatic end to another unforgettable day at sea.
