Volcanic shores and pristine waters define one of the world’s most extraordinary archipelagos, located 600 miles off Ecuador’s coast. This living laboratory of biodiversity famously inspired Darwin in 1835. Today, travelers encounter striking natural contrasts—stark black lava flows alongside iconic species including marine iguanas, blue-footed boobies, giant tortoises, and Galápagos penguins.
Itinerary Highlights
- Experience the unique geology of the islands, taking in volcanic craters, historic coves, and dramatic coastal cliffs throughout the voyage
- Explore pristine habitats to observe iconic species up close—including giant tortoises in the Santa Cruz Highlands, marine iguanas, blue-footed boobies, and Galápagos penguins
