The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Walk among free-roaming giant tortoises in misty highland pasture with a naturalist who reads their behavior like a second language.
Stand at the rim of twin volcanic sinkholes swallowed by scalesia cloud forest, then descend into a world cruise passengers rarely see.
Free walk-through of the working tortoise breeding program that saved the species, led by a station naturalist who explains what's actually at stake.
Walk the 2.5km paved trail to one of the world's most pristine beaches before the day's foot traffic arrives, then swim in the calm lagoon at Playa Mansa.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
Not sure when yet? Tell us the days you can get away and we will only show what fits.
