This upgraded version of our classic program offers a superior value in the archipelago, featuring a comprehensive 8-day itinerary, aboard one of the finest vessels in the islands, the M/Y La Pinta. This generously proportioned all-First-Class ship with a small yacht atmosphere offers the highest levels of comfort, safety and service and is an ideal base of exploration of these remarkable islands.

Starting with an overnight in Quito, our first day is spent in the Lake District of Ecuador visiting with artists from a variety of handicraft specialties. On Friday morning, we catch a flight to Baltra Island and start exploring aboard our comfortable 48-passenger, luxury expedition boat. Accompanied by some of the best English-speaking naturalist guides in the Galápagos, we learn about the natural history of these enchanted islands, visiting the most outlying sites as well as important central and southern islands.
