Everyone should visit the Galapagos Islands… the experience is magical! During our adventure we will seek out the endemic species of birds and other animals of the Galapagos. Some of the bird species include Darwin’s finches, Galapagos Penguin, Galapagos Hawk, Galapagos Dove, Swallow-tailed Gull and Waved Albatross—doing their wonderful courtship dance! Other creatures we will see include Land Iguanas, Marine Iguanas, Lava Lizards and two endemic species of butterflies.
Photographic opportunities abound as each day will include land excursions on different islands. Most days will also include snorkeling opportunities to enjoy swimming with sea lions, sea turtles and hundreds of species of fish! We will also fit within our schedule mini photo workshops to help you get the best images of each location we visit.

Single Room Preferred (HOTEL ONLY)
Prices are per person double occupancy. If a single room is preferred in our Quito hotel, a single supplement fee of $300 will be charged.
Single Cabin on the YACHT and HOTEL
Due to the limited number of rooms (8 cabins) on board the yacht for our small-group adventure, a single room request would require us to take one less person on the tour. Due to this, the single supplement fee will be an additional 75% of the tour cost and will only be offered less than 60 days from departure, if available.
