* we are 12 confirmed as of today / 3 spots remaining!Introducing the Galápagos
The Galápagos Islands are like nowhere else on Earth — a remote volcanic archipelago 1,000 kilometers off the coast of Ecuador, where nature thrives in its purest form.
Home to iconic species found nowhere else, like giant tortoises, marine iguanas, and blue-footed boobies, these islands offer a front-row seat to evolution in action.
You’ll snorkel alongside sea turtles, hike surreal lava landscapes, and encounter wildlife so fearless, it feels otherworldly. With limited tourism and strict conservation in place, every visit is a rare privilege — an unforgettable journey into one of the planet’s last truly wild places.
