Set off on one of the world's most incomparable wildlife adventures aboard the 47-berth ship, The National Geographic Islander, in the magical Galapagos Islands. From snorkeling and kayaking with sea lions, to strolling among nesting boobies, and sidestepping around marine iguanas, to hiking in the highlands in search of giant tortoises, this will be a journey you will never forget.

For seven days you'll navigate this volcanic archipelago with expert naturalists and a seasoned crew, enjoying varied landscapes and animal encounters on seven islands. Enjoy snorkeling with penguins, marine iguana spotting on lava walks, swimming, and kayaking. Encounter giant tortoises, known for their long life span of 150 years. From your boat, and on zodiac excursions, you'll also spot marine species, sea birds and sea lion colonies.

Throughout your journey you'll benefit from the insights of your expert naturalists, daily recaps and briefings, and the good company of your fellow travelers.
