The Galapagos Legend Experience

The perfects vacations start just by the time you arrive on board the Galapagos Legend, exquisitely designed, the staff will be ready to receive all our guests with a refreshing cocktail. Then, there will be time to settle and accommodate all our guest in the 100-guest cruise vessel.

Once all visitors are ready, the first visit begins with a great chance to see the islands’ untouched nature. Guests will offload on board a dinghy (a small zodiac-like vessel) for a short ride to the landing site. After a walk through the marked paths along with the naturalist expert presentations, there is time for visitors to choose among entertaining activities such as snorkeling, swimming, kayaking or to enhance even more the experience, there is always the opportunity to go off to wonderful sites to scuba dive.

Our guides are very knowledgeable about the history and the natural facts of the islands, so they will be happy to help to clarify any questions. Most of them are bilingual, speaking Spanish and English. However, we can get guides in other languages under previous request. They will join passengers on the inland activities and show them the best places to see the fauna from up close whether you choose to glide on a kayak, swim by the shore or snorkel your way through the Pacific waters, they will make the best out of your Galapagos Experience.

Once back on board, our staff will again welcome you with a small snack and a soft drink. Guests will have enough time to change and have fun by playing classic table games or enjoying more sun by the pool, jacuzzi or fitness areas. Lunches are served in the Lonesome George Restaurant, which will have a buffet variety of meats, salads, and desserts. As a special treat, there will be a surprise BBQ by the Moon deck with selections great meats and vegetables amid the warm sunset of the islands or an ice cream festival. Still, on the Moon Deck, an expert guide will have a stargazing presentation where stories about how previous seamen used constellations as navigation coordinates to get to every corner of the seas.

After dinner, we invite you to join in the optional activities we have on board. They range from karaoke or salsa night where one of our staff members will show our guests to dance this Latin rhythm.
