Galapagos Islands
Darwin's archipelago, with naturalist guides
The Galapagos — Darwin's archipelago, by small expedition yacht.
The most rewarding wildlife week in the Western Hemisphere, and the only way to do it is by small expedition yacht (Aqua Mare for charter, Pikaia or Finch Bay for the land-based version). Three nights minimum, seven for the proper circuit.
We pair every Galapagos week with two nights in Quito or Guayaquil to acclimatise.
A year in Galapagos Islands
Calm seas, warm water, ideal snorkelling, lush vegetation.
Cooler, choppier seas, peak wildlife — albatross arrive.
Transition months, balanced wildlife and weather.
Always wildlife-rich — pick by what species you want to see.
