Galápagos Adventure Cruise 2025
November 29, 2025 - December 06, 2025
Olivia is thrilled to once again partner with Lindblad Expeditions/National Geographic for our 8-day/7-night trip to Ecuador and the Galápagos on their newest ship, the National Geographic ms Islander II.
Join us on this once-in-a-lifetime trip as we explore the enchanted Galápagos Islands, a region teeming with unusual and remarkable wildlife. Swim and snorkel with playful sea lions, walk among seemingly ancient giant tortoises and watch as blue-footed boobies perform courtship dances. Special permits allow us to head out in kayaks to explore further and a team of seasoned naturalists utilizes underwater video, a Splash-Cam, and video microscopes to provide the richest possible understanding of the abundant wildlife. Experience a place where animals live without fear of humans. Can you imagine? Enjoy close encounters with marine and land iguanas, giant tortoises and other fascinating creatures.
