luxury yachting in the galápagos islands

home to endemic
species including
Giant Tortoises,
doves and
marine iguanas
only the few plants and animals that
can survive long, waterless journeys or
that can fly will reach volcanic specks like
the arid Galápagos Islands, 600 miles
west of mainland Ecuador. Tortoises,
lizards, seabirds, and a handful of land
birds were favored; most terrestrial
mammals had no chance. Without land
predators, the surviving species lost — to
delight of visitors — any fear of land
mammals, including humans.

6. Incomparable Closeness
there is arguably no place where wild
creatures are as fearless of humans as
they are in the Galápagos Islands. For
the traveler, this means an experience
and relationship with wildlife like no
where else on earth. Whether it’s watch-
ing a curious Galápagos Hawk from just
a few feet away or going nose-to-nose
with a playful sea lion pup, a visit to
the Galápagos guarantees a myriad of
profound wildlife interactions.
This is what makes the Galápagos such
an incredible destination and one that
will touch your life forever.

7. Rest, relaxation
and fun—
important goals
of your trip
even though you are kept busy with
snorkeling, kayaking and shore visits,
there is ample space and plenty of time
to be alone. Let the spa soothe your
cares, read in a chaise lounge, sip your
favorite beverage at the bar, write in your
trip journal, download your photos, or
just disappear into your air-conditioned
stateroom for a restorative nap. If you’ve
forgotten how to relax, look to the sea
lions for lessons.

brewed coffee, a selection of teas, milk
and cocoa are served. Lunch and dinner

courses and often start with a soup,
followed by salads and a main course
of fish, chicken, beef, seafood and a
vegetarian option. And there’s always
dessert, coffee and tea.
