A fully supported Galápagos expedition designed for travelers who want a bucket-list wildlife experience without the stress of planning it alone.

After an incredible 2025 group trip to the Galápagos Islands, we’re bringing back everything that made it so special, with an even better itinerary. This time, we’re spending a few days exploring the islands on land before boarding our longer 7 day expedition yacht, giving you a deeper, more immersive experience of the Galápagos.

From logistics to packing guidance and on-the-ground support, we handle the details so you can focus on the wildlife, landscapes, and once-in-a-lifetime moments.

There’s nowhere on this planet quite like the Galapagos, and we so hope you can come with us! Amanda Monique Brown (@amandamoniquebrown) & Amanda Meeks (@amanda_wanders) have scoped out the best itinerary on the best boats possible for the trip of a lifetime.
