Could not recommend this trip more strongly—Oswaldo was a phenomenal guide, and we got to see so many different animals and island landscapes. While I would have loved to stay for a longer tour, 5 days and 4 nights on the boat allowed us to see all of the highlights of the Galapagos. The crew was excellent, my travel group was so much fun, and everything we saw and did was absolutely incredible. Absolute 10/10 trip!!
Experience the serenity of the Galapagos Islands as you drift across the Pacific Ocean on this 10-day adventure cruise through the central eastern islands. Retrace the voyage of Charles Darwin by sea, admiring the sandy beaches of Espumilla contrasted with the jagged rock formations and volcanic craters of Isla Santiago. Look out at the ocean, land and sky, spotting blue-footed boobies, sea turtles and sea lions in their natural habitat. Go hiking and snorkelling each day and learn about the geology of these lands from your handy naturalist guide, all the while spotting some pretty incredible and varied wildlife.
Visiting the Galapagos Islands had been at the top of my wish list for as long as I can remember and this trip was everything I'd dreamt of. Every day brought special, close-up encounters with magnificent animals - male frigatebirds displaying their bright red chests, sea lions stretched out on the beach nursing their young pups or cheekily hitching a ride on the back of our boat and pairs of blue-footed boobies engaged in a courtship dance. The Archipel 1 is modern, spotlessly clean, spacious and comfortable with a friendly, hard-working and efficient crew. The food is excellent in quality, quantity and variety. The boat has the capacity for 16 guests, which enables everyone to get to know one another.
