Description

Darwin\'s inspiration for "The Origin of Species", the Galapagos are home to species found nowhere else on earth. We may find ourselves stepping over snoozing sea lions and iguanas or watching close-up the courting rituals of Blue-footed Boobies, albatross, or frigatebirds. A mask and snorkel reveals another exciting world; turtles, sharks, rays and colourful reef fish are abundant and sea lions just love to come and play! Our comfortable, first class yacht is ideal for low impact tourism, getting where the cruise ships can\'t go and for viewing the occasional pod of dolphins dancing in our bow wave. Small group sizes, expert guides and excellent cuisine all help to make this a unique and magical experience. Few other boats travel to the more far flung islands of Isabela and Fernandina to visit their spectacular sites. If comparing this trip to those of competitors, please check if they visit these beautiful and pristine islands.
