Our Exclusive Small-Group Nature Immersion Led by the Islands' Best Guides

Six hundred miles off the coast of Ecuador, surrounded by open ocean, a volcanic archipelago straddles the equator. The Galapagos Islands, forged of black lava and named for the giant tortoises that are among its most noted inhabitants, are like nowhere else in the world. Home to a profuse array of wildlife, the islands offer an immersion in nature that feels primeval, where iguanas and penguins and blue-footed boobies share the beaches with us, unconcerned by our presence. Herman Melville called the Galapagos Las Islas Encantadas—the "Enchanted Isles"—an apt moniker for a realm that remains otherworldly, even today. Choose between three intimate yachts: our classic M/Y Letty, the ultra-deluxe M/C Athala II, or the brand-new, state-of-the-art M/V Origin.
