Every day it's likely that 100,000 pictures are taken in Galapagos. But few of the people taking those pictures will benefit from being exposed to the best image-capturing opportunities.

Tui De Roy, award-winning photographer, Galapagos resident and former Galapagos naturalist guide will share with you all the details of her own dedicated Galapagos photo trips during this presentation.

Designed for a mix of casual, amateur and more dedicated photographers, the 15-day uninterrupted expedition cruise (+2 days in Quito) hosts a maximum of 15 guests. They'll benefit from the services of two naturalist guides AND from Tui De Roy's insights and expereince.

You'll see way more Galapagos than Darwin ever did. You'll linger longer on land, observing and communing with nature. There will be plenty of snorkeling opportunities. Suited for solo photographers, or photographers and their significant others.

Tui's trips start at US14,465 / person (shared). This presentation is for both those interested in the trip, and those simply interested in knowing more about Galapagos.

World-renowned wildlife photographer and writer, Tui De Roy was born in Belgium and moved to the Galápagos Islands at the age of 2.  Home taught with a keen interest in nature, she became the first naturalist guide when tourism began to reach the islands in 1969, but soon turned to wildlife photography and writing as her lifelong passion. 

From a young age, Tui explored the islands, documenting the diverse and extraordinary wildlife that surrounded her. Her intimate familiarity with the Galápagos and her self-taught photography skills allowed her to capture the essence of the islands' unique ecosystems. Over the years, her work has expanded beyond the Galápagos to include diverse regions, such as Antarctica, New Zealand, and the Amazon rainforest, eventually taking her to remote locations on all seven continents.   
Tui's photography is renowned for its ability to convey the beauty and fragility of the natural world. Her images have been published in numerous books and magazines in more than 40 countries, including National Geographic, BBC Wildlife, and GEO. She has authored 21 books, including "*Galápagos: Island Born of Fire*", "*A Lifetime in Galapagos*" and "*A Pocket Guide to the Birds of Galapagos*".  

In addition to her photography, Tui De Roy is a dedicated conservationist who participated in founding the International League of Conservation Photographers. She has worked tirelessly to raise awareness about environmental issues and promote conservation efforts. She presently sits on the General Assembly of the Charles Darwin Foundation for the Galapagos Islands (along with Galapagos Travel co-owner Marc Patry). Her work has inspired many to appreciate and protect the natural world, highlighting the urgent need for conservation in the face of growing environmental challenges.

Tui is a recipient of numerous awards and medals for both her photography and conservation work, including the North American Nature Photographers Association’s ‘Outstanding Photographer of the Year’, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society’s award for ‘Courage and Active Service’ and an ‘Honorary Park Ranger’ medal from the Galápagos National Park. Her work continues to inspire and educate, reminding us of the incredible beauty and diversity of our planet and the importance of preserving the Galapagos National Park and Marine Reserve for future generations.

Only very rarely does Tui lead a photo tour – this really is a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience the islands through her eyes!
