Overview
The Galapagos Islands, located on the Equatorial line some 600 miles west of Ecuador, enchanted Herman Melville and Charles Darwin. You’ll be similarly moved.
Walking among and photographing wild birds and animals that never learned to fear humans is a revelation and a daily delight. On your Galapagos yacht cruise, twice each day your naturalist-guide leads you on island excursions where you take treasured portraits of exotic species: red- and blue-footed boobies, marine and land iguanas, sea lions, Galapagos penguins, albatross, frigate birds, giant tortoises, sea turtles and much much more. Snorkel amid underwater volcanic formations replete with myriad species of fish, often alongside sea lions, occasionally penguins, or even sea turtles. Enjoy swimming and relaxing on white sand beaches, then returning to the comforts of your yacht for a rest, to share your experiences over meals, and to sleep. The Galapagos Islands are a world of its own – and your Galapagos yacht cruise will be one you’ll never forget.
