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.
Board a luxury private yacht with a certified Galápagos naturalist guide for an intimate, unhurried exploration of Plaza Sur — home to one of the largest sea lion colonies and the island's iconic hybrid land iguanas. A bucket-list encounter with evolution, up close.
Combine two of the Galápagos' most wildlife-dense islands in a single expert-led day: Plaza Sur's sea lion colony and land iguanas, then North Seymour's staggering frigatebird and blue-footed booby breeding grounds. Twice the wonder, one extraordinary day.
The classic, definitive Plaza Sur day tour led by an official Galápagos National Park naturalist — crystal snorkelling bays, cliffside drama, and wildlife so tame it practically poses for you. A UNESCO World Heritage island at its most vivid.
Escape to Tortuga Bay, consistently ranked among the world's most beautiful beaches, on a private guided walk and kayak experience through a protected marine iguana nesting zone to a secret turquoise lagoon. Utterly serene, utterly Galápagos.
Slip beneath the surface in some of the Galápagos' most biodiverse waters on a small-group snorkelling safari led by a certified marine naturalist. Playful sea lions, green sea turtles, and white-tip reef sharks are the standard — not the exception.
Go behind the scenes at the world-famous Charles Darwin Research Station with a private expert guide, meeting the scientists actively saving Galápagos giant tortoises from extinction. Where elite natural history meets living conservation legend.
