This 5-day Galápagos expedition is a compact, well-paced island-hopping experience designed to combine the archipelago’s most iconic wildlife encounters with active exploration. By staying on the inhabited islands, you’ll enjoy a deeper sense of place while making the most of every day in the Galápagos.

Highlights include snorkeling through the lava formations and crystal-clear waters of Los Túneles, a relaxed bike ride through Isabela’s wetlands, and close marine encounters at Tintoreras, where sea lions, marine iguanas, and reef life gather. On Santa Cruz, you’ll visit a giant tortoise reserve in the highlands and explore the work of conservation at the Charles Darwin Research Station. Traveling by speedboat and staying in locally owned hotels, this small-group journey is guided by expert naturalist guides and supports local communities—offering an immersive and meaningful way to experience the Galápagos beyond the highlights.
