Featured Galapagos Experiences

The Tipping Point Expedition

Sail the Galápagos aboard HERMES during a landmark year for conservation, where luxury yachting meets hands-on science. Join researchers to tag sharks and track giant tortoises, dive volcanic reefs teeming with marine life, and explore remote islands shaped by evolution.

Science & Stories

Visit the Charles Darwin Research Station to uncover the history of evolution, plant trees in a reforestation project, and join onboard celebrations like crossing the equator. Evenings weave together storytelling, astronomy, and the sense of being part of the islands’ ongoing legacy.

Ocean Explorations

Take to the water by kayak, paddleboard, or Zodiac to trace dramatic coastlines and spot penguins, sea lions, and marine iguanas up close. Snorkel with tropical fish and playful penguins off Bartolomé, or extend your adventure with world-class diving at Gordon Rocks and Pinnacle Rock.

Island Encounters

Step ashore to walk among giant tortoises in the Santa Cruz highlands, hike across Fernandina’s lava fields, and wander through volcanic tunnels shaped by fire and time. Along the way, naturalist guides bring the islands’ unique evolution and ecology vividly to life.
