The Galapagos Islands , Ecuador & Galapagos Islands
The Galapagos Journey I is a beautiful well-appointed catamaran cruiser capable of fast cruising coupled with unparalleled stability. With an exclusive small yacht feel, The Galapagos Journey I offers stylish accommodation for up to 16 passengers and is also ideal for chartering the whole vessel for families or groups of friends. The vessel's two suites and six double cabins are air-conditioned and beautifully furnished, featuring sleek polished wood floors and fittings, all with picture windows offering sea views. Take in the fabulous sunsets, relax in the jacuzzi or dine alfresco from the splendid sundecks.
For a close look at the Galapagos' island wildlife, guests can take a panga ride to shore, where guided nature walks perfectly complement more traditional kayak, snorkel and scuba exploration. There are many opportunities to hike, swim, snorkel, bird-watch and take great close-up photographs of the flora and fauna. Journey I anchors off-shore at two visitor sites per day. Passengers are a maximum group size of sixteen with a dedicated naturalist guide who is certified and speaks fluent English.
June to September is the best time to enjoy the Andes whilst the Galapagos are best from April to August - not too warm and plenty of animals in their breeding seasons.
