The moment you set foot on your first island, you’ll see that freedom and fearlessness are a way of life. Whether you are strolling the islands’ pristine beaches, searching for the spectacular waved albatross, having a chat with a particularly friendly sea lion, or snorkeling with Galápagos penguins, a glorious feeling of being unconstrained and unrestricted is palpable. You will take full advantage of the fleet of nimble Zodiacs that can nose into landfalls and cruise along reefs, which allow for intimate views of “the action.” Meanwhile, expert naturalists are always there to point out particularly unusual wildlife behaviors and characteristics so that you may observe and inquire as it unfolds before your eyes. Their specialized knowledge and interests — marine biology, zoology, botany, and geology — will transform your experience into a science class in real-time.
