2020 Wilderness Travel Catalog of Adventures

Ultimate Galápagos A WILDLIFE EXPERIENCE UNLIKE ANY OTHER ON THE PLANET

Snorkel with playful sea lions and penguins, kayak among sea turtles, and hike past dancing blue-footed boobies

and the romantic ambiance of a tall ship. Setting off, we cruise by panga (Zodiac) through Black Turtle Cove, a mangrove lagoon on Santa Cruz Island. Pelicans and herons roost here, while marine dwellers such as green sea turtles or golden rays may cruise right next to our Zodiac. We continue to the remote island of Genovesa (Tower), home to frigatebirds, red-footed boobies, and red-billed tropicbirds nesting along the cliffs. At Bartolomé Island, our trail leads to views of needle-like Pinnacle Rock, the eroded remnant of an old volcanic cone and an iconic photo spot. Tiny Galápagos penguins swim near the rocks below. Days 5-10 Rábida / Santa Cruz / Santa Fé / Española / Devil’s Crown / Floreana Rábida’s saltwater lagoon is home to colorful flamingos, and we gain fascinating insights at the Darwin Research Station on Santa Cruz. On Santa Fé, we watch sea lions

on this perfectly designed adventure in one of the greatest natural history destinations in the world. Our 15-day Galápagos cruise combines both the Eastern Islands and Western Islands, including history-rich Floreana, Fernandina, with its flightless cormorants, and Santiago’s golden beaches. Traveling aboard our classic tall ship the Mary Anne is the ideal way to go, with spacious decks for relaxing, delicious meals served
