A small ship expedition to the Galápagos

10 nights from £6,739 per person based on 2 sharing

Embark on a splendid ten-day voyage with National Geographic Lindblad Expeditions, sailing from Quito, Ecuador, for an immersive exploration of the Galápagos Islands. You'll glide through turquoise waters aboard nimble Zodiacs, step ashore on volcanic sands, and discover wildlife that pays you no mind. This classic expedition draws on over 50 years of experience to deliver the very best of this exceptional archipelago.
  • Mornings kick off with a new adventure each day. On some, you’ll head out on Zodiacs to hidden coves, and on others, you’ll be kayaking across calm bays with curious sea lions swimming alongside you. Snorkelling is a big part of the fun too; at Floreana, you might find yourself drifting next to green turtles or spotting Galápagos penguins speeding past you.

  • Landing on Española, you’ll see marine iguanas sprawled across black rocks and, if you’re lucky, waved albatross going through their quirky courtship dance. In Santa Cruz, it’s the slow-and-steady giant tortoises that take centre stage, shuffling through the highlands.

  • A stop at the Charles Darwin Research Station shows the work going on to protect the islands, and the guides on board bring a personal touch, sharing stories that stick with you. Even mealtimes feel connected to the region, with Ecuadorian dishes like ceviche and fresh fish adding plenty of flavour to your evenings.

  • The National Geographic Endeavour II carries fewer than 100 guests, so it never feels crowded. Cabins come with big windows and plenty of space to recharge, while evenings can be as social or as low-key as you want. Grab a drink and swap stories in the lounge, stargaze from the deck, or just head back to your cabin for a good night’s sleep before another day of exploring.
