Galapagos

July 2-9, 2025 

Escorted by Dan Marsh, Director of Education

The Galápagos is one of the most scintillating yet intensely personal places to see wildlife on Earth, due to encounters in close proximity to wildlife that has no fear of humans. Located at the intersection of seven currents, these tiny islands off the coast of Ecuador are home to friendly flamingos, marine iguanas – the only reptiles that can swim; giant tortoises, penguins and blue-footed boobies. Guided by expert naturalists, explore the unique volcanic land- scapes on hikes and nature walks highlighted by close encoun- ters with amazing wildlife; swim and snorkel with colorful fish, rays and playful sea lions and as you discover the wild wonders of the Galápagos.
