Galapagos In Depth10 days - from $4675Experience extreme nature on a voyage through one of the world’s great marine reserves This is the ultimate Galapagos exploration! Onboard our vessel the M.Y. San Jose you will be treated to a very special experience. The Galapagos Islands, 1000 kilometres off the coast of Ecuador, are a World Heritage sanctuary. As a result of the extreme isolation of the islands, nearly a quarter of all species are endemic and much of the wildlife has no instinctive fear of man. On your explorations of the islands the wildlife will astound you. Blue-footed, red-footed, and masked boobies are found alongside pelicans and frigate birds. There are giant Galapagos tortoises, land and marine iguanas, sea lions, fur seals, dolphins, whales and sea turtles - a myriad of fascinating wildlife to be discovered. Our 10-day program is the ultimate Galapagos exploration and is our most popular voyage. It is designed to offer you the best opportunities to experience the magnificent flora and fauna that make the Galapagos unique. Highlights
