With lumbering giant tortoises, playful sea lions and an aviary of swooping, squawking, soaring bird life, the Galapagos Islands is wildlife-watching heaven. For this five-day trip, it’s all aboard the Solaris, a first-class motor yacht, to cruise around the archipelago in the company of an expert naturalist. Along the way, we stop at a string of biologically diverse islands, including Genovesa, Santa Fe and San Cristóbal, with the chance to get out and explore on foot and by snorkelling. Expect moments worthy of a nature documentary and plenty of photo opportunities.
See the incredible animal and bird species of the Galapagos Islands, such as giant tortoises, marine iguanas, sea lions, penguins and frigate birds, in this five-day exclusive journey. Throughout the trip, we will be staying in a yacht (Isabela II), stopping at popular islands and bays to learn about their unique ecosystem with the help of expert naturalist guides. There will also be activities like snorkeling, glass-bottom boat tour, kayaking and paddle boarding.
Yacht Isabela II offers the perfect, intimate space for exploring the Galapagos Islands in comfort. Measuring just a little over 183 feet (55 meters), this three-deck vessel has 20 cabins that sleep up to 40 guests, with several indoor and outdoor communal spaces. The ship also has a restaurant, a hot tub, a cardio gym, a bar and lounge, and even a library with a computer station. The latest in sustainable technology also makes Isabela II the ideal yacht to navigate around the Galapagos without disturbing their delicate ecosystem.
