Here we will encounter our planet's most intriguing and unique wildlife. We have chartered a 83-foot 20 passenger motor yacht for our intimate Galapagos adventure. This wonderful ship is especially designed for the small coves of the Galapagos, with 10 luxury double-occupancy outside cabins, each with a large bathroom, hot shower, plenty of storage, twin or double beds, and separate climate controls. Our ten-person professional crew includes two bilingual naturalist guides. Masks, fins, and snorkels are provided.
Sea kayaks are also available for close-up viewing of marine wildlife.
Our small yachts cruise at night and sometimes during the day to 15 different destinations, many unreachable by bigger ships, where we explore the variations in land formation, incredible wildlife, especially birds, and the equally rich marine life under the sea. Daily land tours highlight the best of each location, last one to three hours and are easy to moderate in difficulty. There are two scuba dives daily, and swimming, snorkeling, and sea kayaking activities are always available. Each evening we will review the sites of the day and prepare for the next day's adventure. Then our land adventure in Ecuador centers on the indigenous culture and wares of the artisans, most of whom are women.
