Travelers will enjoy two nights in the Ecuadorian coastal city of Guayaquil with a full day of touring, then board the National Geographic Islander II, an elegant vessel christened in 2022, specifically designed to weave seamlessly through this fabled archipelago all year round. With just 26 spacious staterooms and suites available, this intimate group will experience the Galápagos in a private retreat style, with ample opportunity to bask in the splendor of creation and connect with like-minded adventurers, trip hosts, and a special guest.
