Buckle up amigos, we are climbing aboard a liveaboard yacht and cruising throughout the freaking GALAPAGOS ISLANDS. We will be getting up close and personal with incredible and unique wildlife that you can’t find anywhere else, hiking, snorkelling, eating, drinking, making friends and memories and Instagram content (but not too much, as we will be off the grid, yay!).

Our small-group charter with my friends at Enchanted Expeditions allows us to see parts of the Galapagos National Park in style, visiting sites we couldn’t experience by staying on land. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, a feeling of remote magic that can’t be found elsewhere in the world.

Located 1,000 km off the coast of mainland Ecuador in South America, Galapagos is one of the most unique and biodiverse regions on the planet, and we will see incredible wildlife and nature on a level that is unmatched by anywhere else on the planet. The isolation of these islands has allowed life forms to evolve into species that can only be found in Galapagos, and the region was famously studied by Charles Darwin in creating the Theory of Evolution.

Unspoilt remote islands, dramatic volcanic landscapes, pristine waters, giant tortoises, Darwin finches, blue-footed boobies, marine iguanas, sea lions, penguins, sharks, rays, fish… Galapagos does NOT disappoint.

On our previous cruises #Galapalust and #GalapalustPlus we have gotten to know the incredible crew of Enchanted Expeditions, who run tours on the islands and mainland Ecuador. Enchanted Expeditions has a strong focus on social and environmental responsibility, from supporting and sourcing local products to providing safe and ethical employment opportunities for local residents. Their staff and service are second to none.

The magic of Galapagos is just something you have to experience to understand. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the region’s precious ecosystems are heavily protected and our tourism dollars help to preserve these incredible animals and their home.
