Sail the entire Galápagos archipelago aboard a small expedition vessel on Intrepid Travel's 10-day 'Grand Daphne' voyage — the definitive way to experience Daphne Major alongside Fernandina, Española, and Isabela's remotest corners.
What to expect
Each morning brings a new island — the penguin-fringed shores of Bartolomé, the whale shark waters of Darwin, the tortoise highlands of Santa Cruz — with twice-daily excursions by zodiac or snorkel. Expert naturalists brief guests each evening, transforming observation into genuine understanding. Daphne Major appears as a highlight stop: a masterclass in volcanic geology and endemic seabird biology. The scale of the experience is simply unavailable on any larger vessel.
Good to know
This is a multi-day expedition and requires disembarking your cruise ship for the duration — ideal if your cruise itinerary allows. Book 6–12 months in advance; departures fill rapidly. Intrepid Travel departs from Baltra Island (Seymour Airport). All Galápagos National Park entrance fees (currently USD 200 per person) are additional.
