Embark on a journey to one of the world’s most extraordinary places – the Galapagos! Located 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, this remote archipelago is celebrated as Darwin’s living laboratory and home to very unique wildlife. Marine iguanas, giant tortoises, and blue-footed boobies are among the most iconic animals.

Your Galapagos adventure unfolds on Santa Cruz, the second largest island in the archipelago, and one of the few inhabited by humans. From giant volcanic craters and lava tubes in its humid highlands to remote beaches and swimming spots along its shores, the guided tours on this island never cease to impress. Puerto Ayora is the principal town with several restaurants and shops, and where you’ll stay at a bay-front lodge. You can rest and relax at night and not worry about getting sea sick!

Your time will be spent admiring stunning lava tubes, soaking in the beautiful views, and walking among giant Galapagos tortoises at the Charles Darwin Research Station. You will snorkel in turquoise-water coves, hike amidst iguanas and colonies of seabirds, kayak through gorgeous waters alongside sea turtles and tropical fish, and explore some of the unique treasures of the Galapagos. Visits to the islands of Bartolome, Seymour, or Plazas will depend on factors such as weather, tides, and National Park Regulations.
