THIS TRIP IS FULL. I AM CONSIDERING ADDING A SECOND WEEK - APRIL 24-MAY 1, 2027. PLEASE EMAIL ME ASAP IF YOU ARE INTERESTED: MAILESIVERT@GMAIL.COM

Explore the Galapagos with Maile on an 8 days/7 nights all inclusive Galapagos wildlife and yoga adventure.  Much more than a yoga retreat, each day we visit the many islands of the Galapagos with a naturalist guide.  This is a bucket list journey of a lifetime with boat trips, swimming, snorkeling, hiking, kayaking and practicing yoga while gazing at giant tortoises roaming the 12 acre highlands retreat property.  The Galapagos is unlike anywhere else on the planet, and we'll be playing and learning together in a truly unique paradise.

We'll encounter blue footed boobies, frigate birds, giant tortoises, sea lions, sharks and marine iguanas.  And, if we're lucky... penguins, manta rays, Darwin Finches, Yellow Warblers, Dark Billed Cuckoos and Galapagos Mockingbirds. 

- There are some testimonials for this Galapagos trip in the review section of this page that really nicely explain the experience. Scroll to the bottom and click "show more reviews" to check them out!

- This is an active and adventurous trip! Please be comfortable climbing on/off boats and walking on rocky terrain.  There is always the option to stay in the boat too. 

- Swimming is a big part of this trip with multiple snorkeling experiences. There will be guides with us and life jackets & noodles available.

- A flight information email will be sent to you upon booking.

- Travel Insurance is required on this trip.  Consider checking how much coverage your credit card offers.  Many companies offer more comprehensive insurance for health cancellations, flight changes/cancellations and medical care/evacuations.  Buying insurance from airlines when booking your flight might only cover your flight (read details).  For ease, this booking platform has a partnership that will be offered to you during booking.   

- Cancellation policy:  There is a deposit, an October 1st payment and a final payment January 4th, 2027.  I pay the retreat center in full at that time.    There are unfortunately no refunds on payments on this trip. 

This is a very special experience! 

We'll arrive from the airport, explore the retreat center, peeking around for giant tortoises, practice yoga and have a good meal and a great night sleep.  

Today we'll practice yoga twice, tour the highlands and the Charles Darwin Research Center with a naturalist guide.  This will get our feet wet as to the history of the Galapagos, the evolution theories that have emerged, and we'll get to see some animals.  

We'll do sunrise yoga and then take an all day boat trip to North Seymour Island.  Yoga to cool down at days end.  

Yoga and a boat trip to South Plazas Island. Marine iguanas, sea lions and sharks!

We'll take a 50 minute walk to the beach where marine iguanas roam in the mangroves.  Get in some kayaks for exploring ocean life and then some beach and swim hang out time.  Yoga at dawn and dusk.  

Today is a full day of boat adventuring to Bartolome, where we will climb the steps to the peek of the island for an expansive Galapagos island view.  We'll explore the lava fields and snorkel with sea lions.  

Today we'll practice yoga longer, take time to read a book, to wander the retreat property, to get spa treatments or go to town for shopping and checking out the local fish market.

We'll do sunrise yoga, have a nice breakfast together and have lots of hugs as we start the journey home.
