My Best Advice: Plan ahead 9 months.

 

Where the Wild Things Are
The Galapagos Islands. Isolated. Unspoiled. A World Apart in Nature. A Bucket List Trip of a Lifetime.
Explore these remote islands & islets off the coast of Ecuador on a small expedition cruise. Learn about the history, geology & ecology from your science guides – naturalists, marine biologists & environmentalists.

 

Darwin’s Living Laboratory
Naturalist Charles Darwin developed his theories of natural selection & evolution based on his observations on the Galapagos Islands in the Pacific Ocean. You’ve heard of Africa’s Big 5 Safari. Get set for the Galapagos Big 15 Expedition! Now a UNESCO Marine Reserve, the Galapagos is a center for global conservation & research.

Above & Below the Waves

These protected islands are teeming with unique endemic wildlife only found here. Animals thriving in their habitat that have not learned to fear humans. Get up close to giant tortoises; marine iguanas perched on wave-drenched rocks; blue-footed boobies nesting on rocky cliffs; sea lions sleeping on the shore; pods of dolphins swimming along side. Meanwhile, under the surface, another world – sea turtles, eagle rays, sharks, corals, sea urchins, starfish. And more for you to discover for yourself.
