Ecuador: Galapagos Islands Adventure
The Galapagos Islands are on every committed traveler’s life list of places to visit. We have tailored a unique Galapagos adventure that no one else offers. These islands, where creatures have never learned fear of humans, offer an authentically unique experience that will forever change the way you think of wildlife. To explore this natural paradise that Charles Darwin called “a little world within itself” we charter the safest, most reliable and comfortable yacht of its class in the Galapagos. Traveling from island to island we disembark every day to hike other-worldly volcanic landscapes and have amazing up-close (really up-close) encounters with wildlife. We’ll explore the turquoise waters by kayak (park regulations limit paddling opportunities) and snorkel with penguins, sea turtles and playful sea lions.
The timing and itinerary of the trips coincide with the finest weather as well as the greatest diversity of wildlife activity the Galapagos has to offer. We explore off-lying islands and take you to hidden places not included on the itinerary of most operators. A journey through the Galapagos Islands is one of life’s most magical experiences; this we enhance with personal touches and attention to details.
Since history, culture and science are all significant for truly understanding the Islands, we’ve added special VIP tours of Quito’s Old Town (the Islands and the Old Town are both UNESCO World Heritage Sites) and the Charles Darwin Research Station on Isla Santa Cruz.“You walk among clattering four-foot marine iguanas heaped on the shore… You swim with penguins; you watch flightless cormorants dance beside you, ignoring you, waving the black nubs of their useless wings. There is always some creature going about its beautiful business…The animals are tame. They have not been persecuted, and show no fear of man. You pass among them as though you were wind, spindrift, sunlight, leaves.”
