Four people relax on a boat at sea during sunset. They are seated and appear to be conversing, with the sun low on the horizon casting a warm glow. The cushioned seating of their Nemo Galapagos cruise enhances the serene atmosphere as the partly cloudy sky adds to the charm.
A breathtaking view of the Galápagos Islands featuring a rugged landscape with volcanic formations. The blue ocean surrounds the islands, with a striking, tall rock formation jutting out near the shore. The terrain is a mix of rocky surfaces and vibrant green vegetation.
A male frigatebird with a striking red gular sac inflated is perched among branches and greenery. The bird’s dark feathers contrast sharply with its vibrant sac, showcasing its unique behavior often seen during mating displays.
A colorful crab with bright red claws and a multicolored shell peeks out from a dark crevice in the rocks.
A young brown seal and an orange and black iguana are together on a sandy and rocky beach. The seal looks towards the camera with large, dark eyes, while the iguana is slightly ahead, facing right. The background is out of focus with dry, sparse vegetation.
A person with snorkel gear and flippers swims underwater near a large rock. They are wearing a black wetsuit, and the water is clear, revealing a green, rocky surface below. Sunlight from above creates patterns on the water's surface.
Two Galápagos Penguins rest on a rocky outcrop near the water. One penguin stands slightly behind and to the right of the other. Both have dark backs, white undersides, and distinctive black markings on their faces. The water in the background appears calm.

Testimonials

Best trip so far and I have been around the world…I cried when I got off the boat. Jorge was a great guid in Ecuador and one that was perfect for us, not pushy, did anything we wanted. We felt like all were our friends after the trip and really would love to continue to be in touch with them all, as they were super people.
