For the second half of the tour travel to the Galapagos Islands, where you’ll board an intimate, privately chartered ship to cruise Darwin’s “living laboratory.” Here you’ll have opportunities to get up close to Galapagos wildlife on guided walks and while swimming and snorkeling. Conclude your journey back in Quito.
