Each guest can enjoy well-furnished areas
offering you your creature comforts and privacy. The E/C
Galapagos Journey III has a maximum capacity of 16 passengers
allowing for both intimacy and camaraderie at the same time. We have ample resting areas for those who are
looking for a quiet place to relax with family and friends in
the lazy mid-afternoon sun or likewise after busy a day spent
walking, snorkeling, kayaking, or swimming.
Sun Deck
If you want to check out the gorgeous ocean
views with your shipmates make sure to spend some time on the
sundecks that we have to offer. Whether you feel like getting a
little sun on your vacation, or you want the best place to enjoy
the gorgeous sunsets over the Galapagos Islands, our sundecks
are the best place to be.
For those of you with a thirst for knowledge,
you can always look in the “book nook” (our onboard
mini-library) for a few books on the Islands in order to learn
even more about what you've seen in the day.
And for the adults who might want to relax, kick
back, and maybe spend just a little time away from the kids, we
offer a great bar and lounge area where you will be served by a
bartender who will be happy to attend to all your wants and
needs whilst you relax.
Our shore excursions are packed full of several
activities and lots of fun. A typical visit to a landing site
includes a nature hike, zodiac ride, snorkeling or kayaking and
of course time to relax on the beach. Throughout these
activities, your guide will bring out the best of the Islands,
sharing knowledge and fun facts about the Islands natural
history.
All of our guides are certified by the Galapagos
National Park and have gone through intensive training programs.
They have several years of experience and a strong passion for
sharing their knowledge of the wildlife, biology, geology and
natural history of the islands. You will find that your guide is
obsessed with the conservation of the Islands and is very strict
when it comes to following and enforcing Galapagos park
guidelines and rules. Your guide will be eager to share his
knowledge as he gives on-sight briefings during your shore
excursions as well as evening lectures.
After a full day of visits you will get to learn
a little more about the sights you visited and will be able to
ask your guide specific questions about wildlife, geology,
marine life, biology, and other topics that interest you
regarding the Islands. You will find your evening briefings are
also a great opportunity to get to know your fellow travelers
and share anecdotes from the days activities.
We believe that the key to a great
itinerary is variety and therefore the E/C Galapagos Journey III visits several
types of ecosystems within the Galapagos Islands. You
will find that your trip includes many
different types of landscapes and a good
combination of bird sightings as well as visits to land and
marine iguana sighting areas, research centers and tortoise
breeding projects. The itinerary has been designed in order
to optimize time so that sailings between islands are short
and land/snorkel visits are longer.
You will find that apart from being a spacious
and comfortable yacht, the E/C Galapagos Journey III carries
state of the art navigation and communication equipment onboard.
It also carries snorkeling gear, wetsuits, sea kayaks, a DVD
player with a flat screen TV and other amenities for your
entertainment.
Our crew to guest ratio is 1 to 2 (8 crew members for 16
passengers). Each of our crew members has several years of experience and
share in our vision of offering the finest experience to our
guests. We are prepared to pamper you and offer you your
creature comforts so that your visit to the Islands is to
admire the survival of the fittest without having to endure
it.
