Santa Cruz

Get to the heart of the Galápagos on Santa Cruz, a mismatching volcanic quilt of landscapes. Explore pit craters, sandy beaches, mangroves and cacti thickets, and walk alongside giant tortoises through lush endemic Scalesia forests or through surreal lava tunnels.

North Seymour

A small, uninhabited isle forged of lava pillows and low shrubland by heat and time, North Seymour really packs a punch when it comes to nature. Colonies of sea lions, iconic blue-footed boobies and marine iguanas dominate its rocky shore.

Bartolomé

A spectrum of metallic hues ripple through the volcanic formations of Bartolomé, where cool currents bring in Galápagos penguins and green turtles to nest and breed. Catch your breath at its summit, and look across the entire archipelago.

Fernandina

A perfectly preserved pocket of flora and fauna, a masterpiece of geology, and an utterly untouched corner of the planet. Set foot here and witness volcanic activity and a mind-blowing array of endemic species.

Floreana

Floreana’s remarkable wildlife is rivaled only by the engrossing human history of the island: its unique stories of settlers, whalers, and pirates. Discover the curious origins of its inhabitants and dive headfirst into species-rich waters.

Española

Endemic lava lizards and the rare waved albatross are just some of the highlights of the southernmost Galápagos island; don snorkel and mask, explore the tropical world beneath the waves amongst parrotfish and white-tipped reef sharks.

Isabela

Formed by a dramatic chain of volcanoes, Isabela is the largest Galápagos island; prepare to be staggered by its jagged skyline and leggy red mangroves, casting stark contrast against the fragility of the frigates, pelicans, and penguins.

San Cristobal

A relic of extinct volcanoes and home to the Galápagos’ political seat, only freshwater supply, and thriving port town, San Cristobal has a gripping human history as well as a kaleidoscopic range of bird and marine life.

Galapagos Lodge

All-inclusive land-based lodge stays on one of the Galápagos' four inhabited islands with day trips to the others is a great option for those seeking secluded and relaxing romance, or a more energetic vacation, with a plethora of biking, hiking and snorkeling opportunities available.

Expedition Cruise

The only way to visit the most remote, uninhabited and iconic islands of the archipelago, a cruise of the Galápagos Islands is a transcendental journey into the mind of Darwin himself, an epiphanic expedition that makes you feel differently about the world and our place in it.

Wildlife Photography

The famously fearless endemic species of Galápagos present amateur and expert wildlife photographers alike with some of the best photo opportunities on earth, striking the most nonchalant of poses on volcanic cinder pedestals against stunningly stark seascapes.

Blissful Beaches

Known only to sunbathing sea lions and nesting sea turtles, the Galapágos’ blissfully deserted, multi-colored beaches are some of the best in the world, serene sunbathing, swimming and snorkeling seascapes of paradisiacal powdery white, black, red and olivine sands.

Culinary Delights

The archipelago may be famed for its animal magnetism, but its gastronomic appeal is growing, with its abundant fresh seafood combined with exotic Amazonian fruits and Andean staples from the Ecuadorian mainland creating mouthwatering dishes like Gálapagos ceviche and encebollado soup.

Why Visit the Galápagos Islands?

Choosing a Galapagos Islands vacation is to tread in the legendary footsteps of pioneering Charles Darwin, who visited the Galápagos aboard the HMS Beagle nearly 200 years ago, sparking an entirely new way of thinking about life on Earth. The isolation of this remarkable archipelago, 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, has made it a safe haven for extraordinary endemic species, evolutionary marvels so fearless of man that such close-up encounters are what make Galapagos vacations so enticing.

Stay in a luxury lodge in the lush highlands of Santa Cruz where boulder-like giant tortoises roam or step aboard a boutique yacht and cruise the Galápagos‘ enchanted isles where salt-snorting marine iguanas span surf and sand, tiny-winged cormorants have forsaken flight to swim amongst playful sea lion pups, and blue-footed boobies entrance all those who visit with their intricate dance.
