Galapagos Adventure

11-day adventure on board the Reina Silvia

Your adventure begins in Quito with a tour of the Colonial city and a visit to the Equatorial Monument. Then you fly to the Islands to board the Reina Silvia, the "Queen of Galapagos Yachts," for your 8-day Galapagos exploration.

In the Galapagos Islands, you will hike, swim, snorkel and meander among birds and animals that have no fear of you, that return your curiosity as you enter their world.

During your trip, you'll visit the Charles Darwin Research Station to learn of ongoing conservation efforts and share some time with Lonesome George, the last member of the Pinta tortoise sub-species. You'll also visit penguins, sea lions, marine iguanas, frigates, boobies, shearwaters, parrotfish, angelfish, finches, land iguanas, lava lizards, hawks, doves, flightless cormorants, fur seals, and much, much more.

Our guides are simply superb. INCA's level III naturalists are highly educated, highly experienced, fluent in English, Spanish and often other languages, and share their wealth of knowledge and insight about the islands with ease and delight.
