Local Flavor
How do you approach a 500-pound, 200-year-old Galápagos tortoise?
With humility and deference. The noontide iguanas, blue-footed boobies, and waved albatross, however, don't stand on formality (they’ve seen our kind before). As for the seals, they’re positively delighted at the sight of you. This is, after all, their playground.
Welcome to the planet’s greatest living laboratory. Dozens of species of fish, reptiles, and plants that in all the world can only be found here on these 19 islands and 42 islets. Time to witness Darwin’s theory firsthand (outside the boardroom) 160-odd years after he first laid eyes on those fateful finches.
Galápagos. 7 Days of Tropical Phenomena
Aboard All Three Ships.
To begin your Galápagos holiday, jet down to Quito, Ecuador’s colonial capital city, for a look around. Then fly to San Cristóbal Island and come aboard one of three small luxury cruise ships—the Isabela II, La Pinta, and the Santa Cruz. Around the islands, our adventure includes landings by sturdy pangas (rubber boats). A seasoned crew takes care of our every desire on board the ship, and naturalist guides see to our enlightenment and education as we experience the islands and the waters of the archipelago.
Time to meander. From San Cristóbal, cruise to Española, Floreana, Fernandina, Isabela, Santa Cruz, and South Seymour islands. Then disembark back on San Cristóbal. Along the way, there are wild animals to meet, birds to watch, otherworldly terrain to traverse. Snorkel your way around the ocean, or explore like a wannabee Jacques Cousteau—aboard a glass-bottom boat that accompanies our ship. Pack your water shoes; we make plenty of wet landings along our route. (You didn’t think there were docks everywhere, did you?)
R. Crusoe also offers two 11-day guided tours aboard the Santa Cruz, as well as an 11-day guided tour aboard the smaller Isabela II or La Pinta. And we have an eight-day Galápagos journey aboard all three ships as well. For more details, go to:
