Galapagos: Calipso 8 Day
Tour Overview
Sail away on an 8 day Galapagos Islands cruise aboard the Calipso Yacht.
As you snorkel, kayak, explore by foot ashore, and make explorations by dinghy, you are sure to have a one of a kind experience encountering the curious local wildlife. At Cormorant Point photograph elegant flamingos, at Moreno Point watch green sea turtles in tidal pools, and visit a tortoise breeding centre on Santa Cruz Island. Snorkel with penguins, marina iguanas, perhaps even white tipped sharks, observe Blue Footed Boobies, Giant Tortoises, Galapagos Hawks and full ecosytems of creatures, some endemic to the Galapagos Islands.
A Galapagos cruise is not all about the wildlife, the diverse landscape is a sight to behold. From sheer rocky peaks, to ancient volcanic remnants, to untouched beaches and mangrove lagoons, the scenery is ever changing.
Calipso allows you to explore the Galapagos Islands on both Naturalist and Diving itineraries (ask us for diving departure dates). The small ship offers modern facilities, 8 comfortable cabins and spacious outdoor seating areas perfect to marvel at the stunning views of the Galapagos archipelago. Guests can take advantage of the cruise ship's snorkeling gear, kayaks and dinghy excursions, as well as the incredible local knowledge of the expert guide.
You will have a once in a lifetime experience when you visit Galapagos.
