Galapagos is the subject of a never-ending stream of documentaries. For good reason!

There are few places on Earth that insert the visitor so intimately into the local ecosystems, among its wild inhabitants, both above and below the sea. We'll take a few moments to highlight why Galapagos is so special. We'll go over different modalities for visiting the islands. We'll end the presentation with an overview of our three custom designed "ocean safaris" - trips you cannot book anywhere but with us. Of course, we'll make sure to leave plenty of time for questions and (we hope) good answers.

Easter Island (Rapa Nui) - it conjures up images of massive and mysterious statues (Moai), of trans-Pacific human migrations, of ecological catastrophe, of human resilience and cultural renewal. Our speaker, Easter Island native Josie Nahoe, will give us an overview of that fascinating history.

We're organizing a small group trip there for February 2026 - timed to coincide with the local Tapati festival - an exotic and uniquely Polynesian / Rapa Nui event like no other, celebrating Polynesian customs through song, dance, typical dress, arts, and ancient traditions (like "rock-rolling" competitions).

Josie has organized and will lead this trip. You'll learn about the island, its history, its people and enjoy the festival, but you'll have enough free time to feel like you're also having a nice tropical island holiday.

While not generally considered a wilderness destination, Easter Island offers very good opportunities for birders - with many species of shore and seabirds present. Its waters also are high in endemic species - possible to see while out snorkeling.
