Aboard the Eden, the latest addition to G Adventures' Galápagos fleet, you'll visit islands in the south and east, observing an incredible array of rare animal species along the way. Spot marine iguanas in the lagoons of Floreana Island, reef sharks in an underwater volcanic cone, and friendly sea lions at Isla Lobos. You'll gain a whole new appreciation for Mother Nature by the end of this incredible tour.

Catch an early flight to the Galápagos and transfer to the port with your CEO and have lunch onboard the Eden. In the afternoon, visit the highlands to see giant tortoises in their natural habitat before embarking on the boat to start the adventure.
