Aboard M/V Evolution, Southern Circuit

The Evolution looks as boats did in the 1920s but brings a modern level of comfort and safety to explore the wonders of the Galapagos Islands. Accommodating up to 32 passengers in 16 cabins, this vessel offers a mix of beautifully furnished salons, open decks, and private areas for those looking for encounters with nature on land and in the water. The Evolution preserves a small boat atmosphere and attention to detail for a superb Galapagos experience. Snorkeling equipment is available at no additional cost.  The ship features inside and outside dining, a hot tub, library, two onboard naturalist guides, and an infirmary with a doctor on board.

Starting in 2012, two itineraries are offered to adhere to new touring regulations established by the Galapagos National Park and Marine Reserve to limit tourist visits for the islands' health and recovery.  Take your pick between this southern itinerary and its companion tour of northern islands, based on your preferences and your dates.  If you want the complete Galapagos experience and have the time, take both!
