THE WONDERS OF THE GALÁPAGOS

Experienced by Designer Travel

Few destinations capture the imagination quite like the

Galápagos Islands. Scattered across the Pacific Ocean, around

600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, this remarkable

archipelago is renowned for its extraordinary biodiversity,

dramatic volcanic landscapes and pivotal role in Charles

Darwin's theory of evolution.

The Galápagos is unlike anywhere else on Earth, and

experiencing it with National Geographic-Lindblad

Expeditions offers one of the most immersive ways to

discover these iconic islands. This is far more than a cruise; it's

a genuine expedition, combining close wildlife encounters,

expert naturalists and exceptional hospitality with the

comfort of a beautifully appointed expedition yacht.
