 Upon your arrival in Quito, Ecuador transfer to the JW Marriott, one of Quito's premier hotels for 2 nights. During your stay enjoy a full day city tour escorted with professional, English speaking guides.
On the 3rd day, transfer to the airport for your flight from mainland Ecuador which is bound for the island of Baltra, where you'll will be greeted by park guides and staff from Celebrity's Xpedition. From here you'll board one of the island's 3 moter coaches for the short ride to the Zodiacs which will deliver you to the Xpedition. A short sail away is North Seymore, the first island on your itinerary. Here you will become fully immersed in the animals of the Galapogos including sea lions, mockingbirds, frigate birds, blue-footed boobies and many more.
The exporing adventure continues on the islands of Santa Cruz, Bartolome, Isabela, James Island and Santa Maria where from the black beach you can snorkel exploring Devil's Crown, lava tubes and watch the bull sea lions. The last stop is on Isla Santa Cruz where you'll see the Charles Darwin Research Station.
Tranfer back to Quito and enjoy an relaxing evening at the hotel before your flight home. For the ultimate South America Vacation, combine with Machu Picchu Adventure

| Cruise Ship | | | General | | | Highlights |  Many destinations promise visitors the chance to "step back into history." A Celebrity Expedition to the Galapagos Islands perhaps best exemplifies that promise, as you go to a destination that helped to shape one of the world's leading scientific doctrines.
Known as the place that inspired Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, the Galapagos Islands offers visitors a rare, up-close view of land and sea animals, as well as plant life found nowhere else on earth.

| | Reviews | | By the end of the trip I'd seen much more wildlife than Darwin did, not to mention a Jacuzzi, a masseuse, and an open bar to mull it all over. Read the entire article, a review of this trip in 2005 by Adam H. Graham and photos by Greg Endries. |
