Great shore excursions
Our
shore excursions are packed full of several activities and lots of fun. A
typical visit to a landing site includes a nature hike, zodiac ride, snorkeling
or kayaking and of course time out to relax on the beach. Throughout these
activities, your guide will bring out the best of the Islands, sharing
knowledge and fun facts about the Islands
natural history.
Fine dining and cuisine
Each
meal on board is a treat for the taste buds as our chef prepares the finest
interna

tional and local dishes using fresh ingredients of the highest quality.
All meals include the choice of meat, poultry or seafood. We can also cater for
vegetarians and individuals with other dietary choices and needs. Salads are
freshly tossed and fresh fruit is always available. We also have a selection of
the best wines from around the world to compliment your meals if that is your
beverage of choice. If not we have a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic
beverages to take your fancy.
Knowledgeable guides
All
of our guides are certified by the Galapagos National Park and 
have gone
through intensive training programs. They have several years of
experience and
a strong passion for sharing their knowledge of the wildlife, biology, geology
and natural history of the islands. You will find that your guide is obsessed
with the conservation of the Islands and is
very strict when it comes to following and enforcing Galapagos park guidelines
and rules. Your guide will be eager to share his knowledge, giving on-sight
briefings during your shore excursions as well as evening lectures.
A well equiped boat
You
will find that apart from being a spacious and comfortable yacht, the
M/C Galapagos Journey I carries state of the art navigation and
communication equipment onboard. It also carries snorkeling gear, wetsuits, sea
kayaks, a DVD player with a flat screen TV and other amenities for your
entertainment.
Crew to passenger ratio
Our crew to guest
ratio is almost 1 to 1 (11 crew
members for 16 passengers). We are the only small yacht in the Islands to have a 24/7 cruise director on board. Each of our crew members has several years of experience
and share in our vision of offering the finest experience to our guests.
We are
prepared to pamper you and offer you your creature comforts so that your
visit to the Islands is to admire the survival
of the fittest without having to endure it.
Nature lectures
After a full day of visits you will get to learn a little more about

the sights you visited and will be able to ask your guide specific questions about wildlife, geology, marinelife, biology, and other topics that interest you regarding the Islands. You will find your evening briefings are also a great opportunity to get to know your fellow travellers and share anecdotes from the days activities.
