Come explore the Galapagos Islands with me on an Expedition Cruise with National Geographic/Lindblad. Discover the hidden beauty of the protected islands and the animals that inhabit them. The Galápagos Islands offer a truly one-of-a-kind experience where wildlife takes center stage. Here, you can encounter giant tortoises roaming freely, playful sea lions lounging along the shores, and the unique marine iguanas found nowhere else on Earth. The islands are also home to the rare Galápagos penguins, one of the only penguin species found north of the equator. Bird lovers will be especially captivated, from the iconic blue-footed boobies with their vibrant feet to a wide variety of fascinating species that make this destination feel like a living nature documentary.
