Galapagos Islands Challenge

Challenge by Wells-next-the-Sea Sailing Club

for Individual sailors and teams

Set sail from the serene waters of Elizabeth Bay on a thrilling voyage through the mystical Galapagos Islands.

The course takes you west before veering south, then east along the breathtaking southern coastline of Isabela Island, where volcanic landscapes rise dramatically from the sea and abundant wildlife plays along the shores.

From there, navigate toward the rugged beauty of Isla Tortuga and continue onward to the remote Isla Los Hermanos, where the isolation of the open waters sharpens your senses.

Chart a course north to the untouched Isla Pinzón, then port your helm and set a starboard tack as you circle the striking cliffs of Isla Santa Cruz, its towering rock faces echoing the call of seabirds.

After revisiting the quiet shores of Pinzón, sail boldly north around the top of Isabela Island before turning southward for the final stretch home to Elizabeth Bay.

This journey—threading through volcanic isles, rich wildlife, and vast open seas—offers not only a test of your sailing prowess, but a deeper connection to the wild, untamed beauty of the Galapagos Islands. Each wave, each turn, brings you closer to nature’s raw, untouched splendor.
