YOUR ACTIVITIES

The reason that you travel to Galapagos is to experience the islands and their unique Fauna. Therefore, we have designed your programs in such a way that they allow you to perceive Galapagos from different perspectives: guided hikes, relaxing beach walks, snorkeling and swimming! The islands are visited twice a day and always involve a leisurely hike in a small group led by your own naturalist guide, allowing you to experience close encounters with nature.

Snorkeling
The opportunity to experience the wonders of Galapagos’ pristine marine reserve is present almost on a daily basis. Take the dive. It’s an experience of a lifetime!

Star gazing
Since Galapagos offers cloudless skies most of the year, stargazing is not to be missed. Our crew offers nightly interpretation lectures on the top deck with visual aids to enhance the sightings (December to April).

Whale watching
It can always be worthwhile to keep an alert watch for whales while traveling between and around the various islands. However, a place with high possibilities of whale sightings is the northwest coast of Isabela, where we sail every Monday. Please inform your guide if you want to try this activity at 06h00. Don’t forget to request a wake up call the night before! (June to September).

Conferences
Our expert guides, as well as our expedition leader, will present scientific conferences and other nature topics that will enhance your knowledge about the Islands.

Coffee / Tea Station
Coffee, tea and snack service are available on the deck Marco Polo for passengers arriving from the afternoon visit.

Naturalist room
This room is designed for the wide-eyed ecotourist who is seriously interested in being part of the long-term research programs developed by the Charles Darwin Station and other organizations. Here you can work beside our guides and research scientists monitoring physical and the biological process of the islands, thus contributing to the research of the Galapagos.
