Last chance to get $500 OFF Galapagos + Mediterranean spots with most sunshine

Hi Reader,

I hope you are having an awesome week!

I loved my time in Georgia and Armenia and we are almost ready to launch our new Armenia trip, so if you are interested, join the waitlist here. The trips will align so you can book both for a complete tour of the Balkans.

I am still at home and although Autumn temperatures seem to have downed on all of Southern Europe overnight, I am enjoying the peace and quiet before my 1-month long trip that is about to being in Madagascar.

If Madagascar is on your bucket list, get on our waitlist here. We are planning to offer the destination again in 2027.

📩 On this week's email:

Reminder that our Galapagos offer is about to end and there are only 3 spots left for the expedition to be sold out
A ray of sunshine, literally, on the best spots in the Mediterranean to escape to if darkness is coming to where you live.

Highlights of the trip

This is a trip of a lifetime so it deserves the very best 😀

Upgraded premium ship

A luxury trimaran instead of a catamaran, the only one on the Galapagos. This means it is more stable and it has larger cabins and bathrooms. Fantastic personalised service of the onboard crew, great chef-prepared meals, all dietary requirements catered for, new gear and wet suits, all equipment (kayaks, life vests, etc.). Plus indoor and outdoor seating, AC, rooftop deck with heated jacuzzi and sun loungers to relax and watch the Milky Way.

Smallest group

A maximum of 12 guests, that is the smallest group size visiting the islands, so we have the flexibility to jump in the water if we spot a pod of dolphins, a manta gliding or any other animal. We will all be together and will be able to react at a moment's notice to the magic the Galapagos can bring.

Female local naturalist guide with in-depth knowledge of the islands

It is hard to beat the knowledge that naturalist guides on the Galapagos have of the wildlife and flora. Both the trimaran and our local partner for this trip are both Ecuadorian and female owned.

Best itinerary and time of year to visit

We've done all the research for you. Our itinerary will allow us to see all the wildlife that is endemic to Galapagos in the best time of the year to visit.

Best visibility, warm weather that is not super hot or cold (water temp will be warmest in Dec), great visibility and calmest seas.

Optional stress-free add ons

Leave us to take care of all the logistics for you.

Book our optional extension and add 3 extra nights in Quito with a day touring the oldest colonial city in Latin America, domestic flights to the Galapagos, airport transfers from / to your international flight and to / from the Galapagos, the local tourist card that is mandatory to visit the islands plus the park fees ($220), all paid for and taken care of by us.

Incredible wildlife sightings and up and close encounters

The landscapes, flora and fauna is what makes the Galapagos islands the place where Darwin firmed up his theory of evolution by natural selection.

Pods of dolphins we can swim with, sea lions that are so curious they will come up and close to you on land and in the water, rays and mantas gliding, adorable penguins that seem to pose for our photos and will jump in the water with us, lots of tropical fish in schools, reef and hammerhead sharks, sea turtles and giant tortoises blocking the road and chilling all around the islands, blue-footed, red-footed and Nazca boobies, frigate birds, various species of gulls, pelicans, several species of owls and maybe even some whales.
