Galapagos Encounter: Southern Islands (Grand Queen Beatriz)

Tick the Galapagos off your list on this week-long sailing voyage that takes in the very best of the southern islands. Rub shoulders with the local wildlife as sea lions, iguanas, giant tortoises and exotic birds of all shapes and sizes go about their daily business. Go snorkelling near mighty manta rays, turtles and tropical fish fill. Experience firsthand the natural, rugged landscapes of the Galapagos and see what Charles Darwin saw when he arrived on the isles more than 180 years ago and go hiking to discover the changing and unique landscapes of this incredible part of the world.
