Birding and photography will all be a part of this fantastic wildlife adventure! Everyone should visit the Galapagos Islands… the experience is magical! During our adventure we will seek out the endemic species of birds and other animals of the Galapagos. Some of the bird species include Darwin’s finches, Galapagos Penguin, Galapagos Hawk, Galapagos Dove, Swallow-tailed Gull and Waved Albatross—doing their wonderful courtship dance! Other creatures we will see include Land Iguanas, Marine Iguanas, Lava Lizards and two endemic species of butterflies.

Photographic opportunities abound as each day will include land excursions on different islands. Most days will also include snorkeling opportunities to enjoy swimming with sea lions, sea turtles and hundreds of species of fish! We will also fit within our schedule mini photo workshops to help you get the best images of each location we visit.

He travels extensively around the world leading his own photography tours and workshops. As a tour leader, he is widely known for his friendly practical nuts and bolts approach to solving problems in the field and sharing his enthusiasm and expertise with others.

View the complete itinerary for this Galapagos Adventure.

Cost includes local flights (Quito/Galapagos/Quito), hotel in Quito, meals from breakfast on Day 2 through breakfast on Day 11.

Our yacht for this tour, the Archipel, has 4 standard cabins available as well as 2 larger cabins, all with two twin beds (no bunk beds!).

(4) Standard Shared cabins: $8250 per person (8 spaces available)
(2) Larger Shared Cabins $8600 per person (4 spaces available)

The tour cost is based on the small group and double (shared) occupancy of the limited number of shared cabins on board the yacht. Due to the limited number of cabins (6), and the limited group size (12), the single cabin fee is an additional 80% of the tour fee to cover the cost of eliminating a participant from the trip. However, if only a single hotel room is requested, the added cost of $200 will be assessed.

$200 Galapagos Islands National Park Fee
$225 (Recommended Gratuities) $150 for Boat Crew & $75 for local naturalist
