Galapagos Islands Expedition..Untouched Nature in all its Splendor! Small Group

It's a Meetup . . . in the Galápagos!!

This Meetup Event is for the nature lovers, for the curious explorers and the adventurers who want to experience nature in all its splendor & diversity.

The Galápagos Islands are a volcanic archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, considered one of the world's foremost destinations for wildlife-viewing. It's a place where lizards swim, birds walk, and humans — for once — don't take center stage. In 1835 a 26-year-old Charles Darwin introduced the Galápagos Islands to the world with his theory of evolution.

As amazing as you think the Galápagos Islands would be, they exceed all expectations of our group in 2023! That sea lion above in our group photo is not a prop! It was very real, ready to play and pose for a picture. You can see sea lions, giant lizards and many other exotic and friendly creatures, waddling on the streets, playing in the sand or just chilling (sun bathing) on a bench!

We will explore and experience:

• The famous Galapagos penguin and blue footed boobies. Swim with sea turtles and sea lions.
• Tortuga Bay Beach for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking or surfing with unique marine life.
