ITINERARIES - Click here for dates and itineraries
Departures are every Sunday on two unique comprehensive 7-night itineraries visiting the most spectacular outer islands of the archipelago. Itinerary A follows a southern/central route and itinerary B follows a northern/western route. You can explore these islands on two guided shore excursions per day, led by an expert naturalist guide (one guide for ten passengers) on nature walks allowing plenty of time for photography, questions and contemplation of birds, reptiles, plants and volcanic formations.ACTIVITIES
Venture out in a kayak (we have five doubles and one single on board) and also stand up paddle boards (pending park approval) for a full complement of active ways to explore the islands. Meander along stretches of secluded beaches, swim with playful sea lions, snorkel among penguins and sea turtles. Get up close to the shore life on Zodiac rides through mangroves and along the cliffs. Watch out for dolphins riding the bow wave, whale sightings, rays, frigates and boobies diving for fish. After lunch, you can take a siesta or work out in the fitness center. Before dinner the guides will brief you on the activities the following day. Life vests, beach towels, water bottles, wet suits and snorkeling equipment are all provided.QUICK FACTS
