This area is arranged with comfortable chaise outdoor furniture and showcasing a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view. Head up in the evening for a spectacular sunset, and again at night to participate in the rare opportunity to watch the stars in one of the most isolated places on the planet with a unique placement on the equator. Heading down to the main deck, the outdoor shaded lounge and dining area is the perfect place for intimate conversation, feeling the sea breeze, and enjoying a nice glass of wine. Throughout your stay, enjoy delicious luncheons in the outdoor dining area while seizing the best views.
Heading inside for a respite from the sun, lounge in the large salon area, fitted with cozy sofas. This area includes a large flat-screen television, small library, and board games. Your naturalist or diving guide will provide a brief 15-minute presentation every evening on the following day’s activities and all things you need to bring. Nearby, a full bar stocked with premium liquors, fine wines, and local beers. Three times daily, enjoy world-class meals prepared by the professional sous chef, always a delicious array of local and international cuisine for every guest to enjoy. For any dietary restrictions, the chef will surely work with you. Upon return from excursions, enjoy delicious snacks to keep your energy up for all the entertainment.

With a crew to passenger ratio of 10 crew to 16, the level of service is unrivalled. Staff are always nearby for any needs or requests, yet provide you time for yourself to enjoy the setting in peace. Snorkelling equipment is onboard, so no need to purchase any equipment and lug it around on international flights.

Lastly, your bilingual naturalist guides, wise in every aspect of the Galapagos, will take you safely to each destination.

Dear Heidy,
We would like to thank you so much for helping us organizing this amazing Galapagos-Tour.
We had a wonderful time on Galapagos and actually at the moment we wished to get back there where Corona is not such a big topic like here.
The boat, staff and tour guide were just awesome and lovely. We will keep this trip forever in our minds and hearts.
We wish you all the best for the future and hope that you stay healthy.
Best regards from Switzerland,
Roger & Melanie
