Galápagos — North & Central Islands aboard the Evolution
10 days, Quito to Quito
!
Sorry! There are no remaining departures for "Galápagos — North & Central Islands aboard the Evolution" (SEV10EA), but here are some similar trips.
Sure, you don’t need to cruise the Galápagos from a spiffy boat, but it sure doesn’t hurt, does it? Set sail aboard the majestic Evolution for a journey through the archipelago's northern and central islands. Snorkel with playful sea lions at Chinese Hat, discover the sprawling booby and frigatebird colonies of Genovesa Island and pick up some outgoing mail at Post Office Bay. With a pair of Level III naturalist guides ready to lend a hand, you’ll return home with a better appreciation for this delicate region than you’d ever thought possible.
