For a true avian spectacle, head to El Barranco and Darwin Bay on Genovesa Island. Enjoy the aerial acrobatics of frigatebirds, red-footed boobies, and other seabirds.
Discover the hidden wonders of Black Turtle Cove, a serene mangrove sanctuary where sea turtles glide gracefully through the calm waters.
You will cruise on the Hermes, a modern and ultra luxury catamaran that has been designed for cruising in the Galapagos Islands and built with the utmost care and attention to detail in mind. Enjoy added extras like a 24/7 butler, unpacking service and a spa.

ITINERARY
WHY CHOOSE THIS CRUISE?
-
Explore the wonders of the Galapagos Islands on the Hermes, a premium and ultra luxury expedition catamaran that has been designed for travellers who want the best combination of onboard experience while still being able to enjoy expedition and exploring these magnificent islands.
-
See a range of species of wildlife while cruising the Central Islands including Santa Cruz, Baltra and Chinese Hat. You will spot a range of endemic birds and enjoy snorkelling and water based activities. The wildlife you will see will depend on the time of year you are travelling. Some parts of the year will mean nesting season for birds, other parts of the year will be mating season and if you are lucky enough to come when young animals have just been born you will get to see a range of baby animals.
-
We can help you combine your cruise with an extension to explore other parts of Ecuador such as the Cloud Forest or Amazon or to spend some time in the bustling, colonial capital of Quito. Perhaps think about exploring other countries nearby such as Peru or Colombia!
