Galapagos Islands

What Makes Galapagos a
Bucket-List Destination

The Galapagos enjoys mild temperatures year-round (approx. 70–85°F / 21–29°C). From Dec to May is warmer and sunnier with occasional showers, while Jun to Nov is cooler, drier, and cloudier- perfect for wildlife spotting.

The place where Darwin's Theory of Evolution was born. Over 30% of land species and 80% of birds are endemic, found nowhere else. Giant tortoises, marine iguanas, and fearless wildlife make every visit truly one of a kind.

Covering over 133,000 km² (51,000 sq mi), the Galapagos Marine Reserve is one of the largest on the planet, protecting 3,000+ marine species, from sea lions and Green sea turtles to Hammerhead sharks and Galapagos penguins.

“We experienced everything we could imagine - lots of snorkeling, biking, kayaking, hiking and wildlife - blue footed boobies, penguins, tortoises, iguanas... so much!”

– Maureen

Our Island Hopping Expeditions

Our Island Hopping expeditions are designed for travelers who want to stay active and experience the islands every day. Each day brings a mix of soft adventures like biking, or snorkeling, always focused on wildlife encounters. You’ll move between islands by boat, stay in comfortable hotels, join small group tours led by certified naturalist guides, and still have the freedom to explore towns on your own.
