Royal Galapagos

12-day adventure on board the Integrity

Get up close and personal with Galapagos during this 12-day adventure. Sit nose to nose with a grandfather tortoise, swim with sea lions and watch curious frigate birds land to greet you. There's no other place on earth like this!

There, our two nights spent in charming accommodations at the Royal Palm Resort Hotel are a welcome introduction to the pace of the Islands.

Our extensive exploration of Santa Cruz Island includes a visit to the Charles Darwin Research Station where we learn about conservation issues and tortoise hatching and rearing programs. We explore the highlands to visit giant tortoises in their natural habitat. Then we hike to the beautiful white sand beach of Tortuga Bay, all before boarding our yacht Integrity for a week's cruise through the Galapagos.

This unique Galapagos highlands adventure is an INCA exclusive. Come see more of the Islands!
