Appreciate Planet Earth through Darwin’s eyes, 175 years after his arrival. Guerba, one of the UK’s leading adventure tour operators offers an amazing once-in-a-lifetime, ten-day adventure cruise to discover the unspoilt Galapagos Islands, possessing some of the world’s most treasured wildlife and idyllic scenery.

Seasonal highlights include the giant turtle nesting season in June, the opportunity for whale spotting in July, active penguins and sea lions in September and the birth of sea lion pups in November.
