Join a small-group expedition led by a specialist wildlife photographer and Galápagos naturalist, capturing the extraordinary light, scarlet landscapes, and fearless wildlife of Rábida in professional-quality images. A creative and scientific journey unlike any other.
What to expect
The expedition begins at dawn on the red beach, when low-angle light sets the crimson sand ablaze and sea lion silhouettes are perfectly backlit. Your photographer guide coaches composition and camera settings while the naturalist identifies and predicts animal behaviour for the perfect shot. Flamingos at the lagoon, pelicans in flight, sea lions mid-barrel-roll underwater — every iconic Galápagos image is within reach. Evening sessions review the day's shots together with wine and local Ecuadorian cuisine aboard the vessel.
