Trip for Two to the Galapagos Islands


Enjoy the trip of a lifetime! A 10-day/9-night expedition exploring the astounding Galapagos Islands with Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic aboard the National Geographic Endeavour.

A Galapagos cruise aboard the National Geographic Endeavour offers all the hallmarks of a Lindblad Expedition, plus the expansive feeling that comes with voyaging aboard this stately ship. Access to the Endeavour's five onboard Naturalists gives you the freedom to gravitate towards any of the expedition team members whose interests in ornithology, geology or undersea life mirror your own. Join them on hikes, Zodiac rides, or the ship's deck during one of the spontaneous, thrilling wildlife encounters when the Captain spots a pod of orcas or a blue whale and changes course to pull alongside them.

To make the most of your 10-day Galapagos cruise, we offer plenty of choices, including some shore landings before breakfast and long hikes, short hikes or coastal explorations from Zodiacs and kayaks. Go deep water snorkeling in the wetsuit and snorkeling gear we provide - which are yours for the entire expedition - or try snorkeling for the first time in a friendly, patient environment. And if you don't want to get in the water, simply climb aboard our glass-bottom boat for an undersea experience while staying dry. We have the resources onboard to add depth to your experience at any activity level - and all of them are included in the price of the cruise.

After a day of exploring, relax in one of Endeavour's comfortable public spaces, including the finest library in the islands, or visit her wellness spa and then take a massage on her unique floating platform.

“During our first visit to the Desert Museum in 1994 we agreed it was the best full spectrum natural history experience we'd ever had - and right here in our own backyard!
We've supported the Museum annually since then and encourage friends and business associates to do the same.”
