Galapagos Expedition Aboard National Geographic Islander

10 Day Small Ship Expedition Aboard National Geographic Islander

Share the adventure of a small ship expedition with your kids in the Galapagos Islands, where freedom and fearlessness are a way of life.

Whether strolling the islands’ pristine beaches, searching for the spectacular waved albatross, having a “chat” with a particularly friendly sea lion, or snorkeling with Galápagos penguins, a glorious feeling of uninhibited-ness abounds.

Kayaks let you see the islands at “elbow height.” A fleet of nimble Zodiacs allow adventurers to nose into landfalls and cruise along reefs, affording intimate views of “the action.”

Expert Naturalists point out unusual wildlife behaviors and characteristics so that you may observe, inquire and react as it unfolds before your eyes. Their specialized knowledge and interests — marine biology, zoology, botany, and geology — will transform your adventure into a biology class in real-time.
