‍This trip is for the nature lovers, for the curious explorers and the adventurers who want to experience nature in all its splendor & diversity.

For those who don't know . . . the Galápagos Islands are a volcanic archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, considered one of the world's foremost destinations for wildlife-viewing. It is located roughly 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador and over millions of years it evolved into a home for an all-star cast of plants and animals.

It's a place where lizards swim, birds walk, and humans — for once — don't take center stage.

A notable early visitor was 26-year-old Charles Darwin 1835. His theory of evolution introduced the Galápagos Islands to the world. Since then, word of these islands and their magnificent beauty has steadily grown.

As amazing as you think the Galápagos Islands will be, they routinely exceed expectations.

We will explore:

• Spot the famous Galapagos penguin, blue footed boobies and swim with sea turtles and sea lions.
