Snorkel with playful sea lions and Galápagos penguins,
kayak among sea turtles, hike past dancing blue-footed
boobies, and experience one of the greatest
natural history destinations in the world!
Our epic Galápagos journey aboard the
16-guest Mary Anne brings you to glorious
white-sand beaches, across 100-year-old
lava flows, and to up-close encounters with
the exotic creatures that inspired Charles
Darwin. We combined the best of the eastern
and western islands for those who want to see and do
as much as possible. Snorkeling? Kayaking? Hiking? We
have it all! And life aboard a classic tall sailing ship is
the perfect way to experience the islands. With spacious
decks for relaxing, delightful meals served al fresco, a
new anchorage each night, watching the sun set in a
tropical sky, our active 15-day cruise aboard the Mary
Anne is the “ultimate” Galápagos experience!
Days 1-3 Guayaquil / Baltra /
Fantastic Birding From Guayaquil,
fly to Baltra and board the Mary
Anne. Cruise through mangroves,
spotting sea turtles and gliding
rays, then head to remote Genovesa
(Tower), a paradise for birds—great
frigatebirds, Nazca boobies, and
red-billed tropicbirds nest along
the cliffs.
Days 4-7 Bartolomé Hike /
Rábida / Santa Cruz / Santa Fé
Revel in the views from Bartolomé,
then cross ancient lava flows to
walk amid colonies of land iguanas.
Rábida’s saltwater lagoon is home
to three types of herons, and you’ll
gain fascinating insights at the
Darwin Research Station on Santa
Cruz. On Santa Fé, watch sea lions
strike a pose on a white-sand beach.
“Loved the trip,
the itinerary, the
activities, and
guide. The food
was delicious!”
Eliza S., Los Altos CA
Face-to-face encounters with some of the
Galápagos’ exotic creatures are extraordinary—
the wildlife has no fear of humans.
