With lumbering giant tortoises, playful sea lions and an aviary of swooping, squawking, soaring bird life, the Galapagos Islands is wildlife-watching heaven. For this five-day trip, it’s all aboard the Solaris, a first-class motor yacht, to cruise around the archipelago in the company of an expert naturalist. Along the way, we stop at a string of biologically diverse islands, including Genovesa, Santa Fe and San Cristóbal, with the chance to get out and explore on foot and by snorkelling. Expect moments worthy of a nature documentary and plenty of photo opportunities.
  • Spend four nights aboard the Solaris with a knowledgeable naturalist guide
  • Experience incredible wildlife viewing and photographic opportunities with near-tame animals
  • Enjoy a high chance of spotting waved albatrosses, blue- and red-footed boobies, giant tortoises, sea lions and marine iguanas

The Solaris is a first-class motor yacht with an outside lounge and dining area, an inside lounge/bar area and a spacious sun deck, perfect for relaxing and observing the incredible Galapagos landscape. There are five dedicated single cabins and six twin cabins (four with a queen bed and a single bed, two with a queen bed and a sofa bed). All cabins have air conditioning and private bathrooms. Beach towels are provided and there are two sea kayaks on board for passenger use.



Please note, a lot of the travelling between islands is done overnight, so some cabin noise and movement should be expected.
