Based upon a private yacht, you unpack once, and awake to a new island each day with sights and sounds previously unimaginable!
Hovering over the Equator, 600 miles from the coast of Ecuador, The Galápagos Islands is a world within itself. Nearly all creatures that inhabit these islands are found nowhere else on earth and have developed unique adaptations that distinguish themselves and help them adapt to their environment. With no natural enemies present, the animals through this archipelago have virtually no fear of humans, making them remarkably tame, not to mention photogenic! This expedition will be an educational eco-adventure perfect for anyone with an interest in nature and learning about this incredible world we live in!
